adidas Football unveiled the "Deadly Strike" pack
It's the last on-pitch release before we'll the see the Three Stripes' World Cup collection
March 28th, 2018
This morning, adidas Football presented “Deadly Strike”, the last on-pitch pack that we’ll see before the arrival of the World Cup-inspired editions. As usual, to benefit from the new painting have been all the main silos of the Three Stripes: Predator, Nemeziz, X, and COPA. And the Predator 18+ has one of the most interesting colorways, being the first not to be inspired by a design from the past. In this version, the iconic adidas boot is covered by a bright blue, with ‘mint green’ details that give the Forged Knit upper a snappy look.
The adidas Nemeziz 17+, on the other way, is way more striking with its “Aero Green” colorway. It basically is a lighter jade green - the real name should be “marine haze” but we didn’t feel comfortable with it - with darker shades on the AGILITYBANDAGE upper with TORSIONTAPE technology. As usual, there also is a version dedicated to Leo Messi, that will be very similar than the Predator, with black and blue colorway with jade green details.
Let’s move to the X 17+, that should see with the “Deadly Strike” colorway its latest version with the current silo. For several weeks, the footballers that usually wear the X have been seen wearing a blackout new silo in training, that should arrive for the upcoming World Cup. For this last iteration, adidas chose a bright color - this time we feel ok in calling it jade green - with blue details with the branding, the foot-collar, and the soleplate.
Finally the COPA, that is usually the smartest silo in Three Stripes’ packs. This time it dares a little bit more, presenting similar colorways than the other “Deadly Strike” boots. The main color is blue, with stained jade green design on the back part of the upper and the heel.
