Here they are. Made for next summer's competition, the Samba Pack from Adidas is a brightly colored range not for the faint of heart. The bright colors are to symbolize the exciting and crazy atmosphere that comes along with Brazil, the host of the World Cup. Each of the silos have been given insane colorways. Nothing short of sticking out like a sore thumb. But in a good way.
Two of the silos have received an update on looks and technology, bringing in two new generations of boots. The Adidas 11Pro and the F50 have both been completely updated, while the Predator LZ and the Nitrocharge have remained the same. Considering the Nitrocharge is a fairly new boot and the Predator LZ is just a tad less new, there's no reason to do anything about them. Along with the new generation, the F50 also received two brand new colorways instead of just one.
So, time for my opinion. All of the colorways are pretty intense, but not all are for me. I believe Adidas did a good job making them all stick out, and I think that all of the colorways do a good job of sending Adidas' message across. To be honest, though, I'm not a huge fan of any of the colorways except for the F50's two colorways. The Nitrocharge is one I might wear, but that's just an if. Overall, I think that Adidas did a decent job on this pack, but it's mostly not for me. Just a little too much on the loud side.
Adidas wanted to generate some hype for the world cup and really put themselves out there with this range. Mission accomplished. As always, I'll look forward to checking out the F50's but all of them will be pretty interesting. And in honor of the F50's new generation, I'll be focusing my next post on them. Next Saturday, same time, same place!
