Celebrating the 2014 FIFA World Cup, adidas unveils the all-new Samba collection inspired by the national colors and iconic Carnival celebration of the host country Brazil.
“adidas always changes the game with its innovation and the new Samba collection will stand out even more on the field,” said US forward Jozy Altidore. “All players like to make statements with their cleats and the bright color of my adizero F50 will no doubt distinguish me leading up to World Cup next summer in Brazil.”
“Brazil is a country rooted in rich soccer tradition, inspired by high energy, bright colors and lively spirit,” said Ernesto Bruce, director of soccer, adidas America. “The Samba collection captures Brazil’s unique character and brings an explosion of color to the field that players and fans won’t be able to miss. We’re combining the best in footwear innovation with high-impact design in this new Samba collection.”
Created with trademark adidas cutting edge technology, the collection consists of the adizero F50 in Solar Blue, a Vivid Berry colorway of the Predator Lethal Zones, the NitroCharge in Solar Slime and the 11Pro updated in Blast Purple.
Though each cleat stands on its own with a distinct high energy color, the Samba collection is tied together with bold graphic work on the tongues and insoles.
The new Samba collection will be debuted beginning November 9 by some of soccer's biggest stars including Leo Messi, Gareth Bale, Mesut Özil, Dani Alves, Oscar, Xavi, Karim Benzema, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Jozy Altidore, Omar Gonzalez and Graham Zusi.
You can pre-order the cleats at adidas.com/soccer today, with the official release set for Thursday, November 14 for $220 (adizero F50, Predator Lethal Zones) $200 (NitroCharge) and $165 (11Pro).
