Video | adidas Showcase Samba Collection - Football News

Adidas have got the World Cup ball rolling by smashing a rocket of a volley hurtling down the road to Rio in the shape of their new Samba Collection. If the craziness of the boots wasn't enough adidas have released a new video capturing the culture of Brazil, showcasing their players and boots and offering a taster of the carnival atmosphere and samba rhythm to come next summer.

The clip is a celebration of colour and culture with star adidas players including Oscar, Dani Alves, Fernando Torres, Leo Messi and Mesut Özil all lacing up in the vibrant Samba collection. From half naked dancers to a man holding a giant neon fish, it's an insanely awesome video from adidas to whet your appetite ahead of the World Cup in Brazil.





The Samba Collection is launched to kick off the countdown to Brazil and becoming the first brand to show some of the World Cup cards adidas have opened proceedings with a big Brazilian bang. The new collection is a huge statement of intent from adidas and with a new F50 and 11Pro in their armoury all the signs are in place for the brand to come flying out the blocks next summer.

The video takes a few re-plays and will have you bashing the pause button throughout to distinguish what's going on in amongst the madness but one thing's for sure, the new Samba Collection are unmissable on pitch. As far as kick starting the World Cup build up goes, adidas have nailed it.
