The 2012 adizero miCoach line-up kicks off with the new bright-as-ever Blue/White/Electricity colourway! With FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi ready to launch the new football boots next month, adidas have released a customary leather edition for their world number one!
As the boots first major colour-up since its launch, the adizero's latest paint job reaffirms its reputation for bright, exuberant colourways. After the boots flying start to life in the boot league, the adizero miCoach has become one of the must-have football boots of 2012. With a new collection of colourways ready to drop, there's a lot more to come from the adizero miCoach! Share your thoughts online, on Twitter and on Facebook.
The Blue/White/Energy f50 miCoach colourway will receive a wealth of player support following their scheduled Feb 14th on-pitch launch to tie in with the Champions League first round knock-out fixtures. Fronted by Lionel Messi, players including Diego Milito, Thomas Muller, Gareth Bale and Samir Nasri are also lined up to wear the new colourway for club and country as the High Energy/White/Electricity launch boot is phased out.
While the original High Energy/White/Electricity launch colourway of the f50 miCoach received mixed reviews, the new Blue/White/Energy boots may be met with a better response after the success of last years Blue/White/Slime adizero - the boot still being worn by Karim Benzema. Blue colourways have been big hits in the f50 range, dating way back to the original Cyan/White/Pink adizero.
The introduction of miCoach technology has changed the boot game. By delivering precise information direct to your computer, the chip allows you to track and upload performance data including speed, max speed, number of sprints, distance, and distance a high intensity levels. Using 360 degree movement, the on board memory stores all of your stats during a game for up to seven hours.
The leather adizero's have been hugely successful, as for many boot fans the fit, touch and feel of a natural leather is unrivalled. As you can see there are two grades of leather, and for the vamp area adidas have used Goleo Calf leather for a supreme touch and a snug fit. The stitching and configuration of the upper has changed to replicate that of the Sprintweb on the synthetic versions to increase lateral stability and support.
One thing that's made the adizero range stand-out, is the development of such a lightweight and fast leather football boot. The leather versions of the F50 adizero have been extremely popular with the pro's, citing Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben as just two outstanding players who opt for the leather versions.
The new Blue/White/Energy adizero miCoach leather boots will be available to pre-order towards the end of January and will retail for around £150 GBP / €210 EURO / $200 USD. Alternatively you can purchase the bundle including the miCoach Speed Cell for £200 GBP / €245 EURO / $270 USD. What do you think of the f50's first offering of 2012?
