At least 3 people will (usually) wear Copa Mundial in every official match. The ref and the 2 linesmen.

Copas don't need to be endorsed by a football player to sell, their quality speaks for itself.

Like if you think the Copa is the most iconic boot ever made!

I pulled out my high school copas from ‘96 3 years ago when my kids started playing. The leather was good. Several cleats snapped off in an hour of play from dry rot. Also cracking on the plastic bottom sole.
Went and bought another pair for coaching/playing with my kids. I hope to find an old guy team soon.

I grew up in Ontario too and am a little older than you. I remember when I played, in my teens, NOTHING caught my eye like some beat up "well loved" Copa Mundials. Sometimes the older guys (20+ yr olds, at the time) would go to practice with the tongues on the copas DUCT TAPED so theyd be extra floppy on game day. That, coupled with a thin white headband ( a la Francesco Totti), was the epitomy of cool back then, haha.

I always loved the elegance of the Copa Mundial's, and that was even over the popular Predator shoes that were big circa 2000-2002. The "rich kid" on my rep team had some original predators and I loved them, but always preferred the classic looks that Adidas, Lotto, Puma, Diadora, Mizuno were offering.

I had some Lotto Stadio's that I miss and cant find anywhere...

WTF happened to soccer shoes now? I've been away for about 15 years and now I've come back to the market and dont recognize anything.

Knuckleballs, footballs that have minds of their own, plastic weightless shoes, neon i gone for that long?

Josh, thanks so much for making your videos, I love watching them and love to get soccer news by a fellow Canadian. I got so much to learn! I gotta admit though, I just bought a couple of Tango's and looking to get some Copa's...was gunna try to relive my youth, and now i just look like I'm straight out of Argentina 78' . Gotta grow a mullet now.

Thanks again!!

I agree marketing is the reason why they do not wear Copa Mundials, but I feel the Copa has been losing popularity and kids do not know what they are; Adidas needs to start some marketing or else it will stop selling well. I personally hope they keep selling the Copa Mundial, World Cup, Mundial Goal and Mundial Team. They will always be my favorite boots next to some Predator and adiPure/11pro and modern Copa models

One of the very few boots that work for wide feet and for players with toes that have not been squeezed together by years of wearing restrictive modern footwear. Almost all the boots out there are very narrow in the toe box and mold your foot to the boot, rather than vice-versa. The Copa Mundial is soooo comfortable.

Xabi Alonso is another that definitely would have worn mundials. I've seen countless pics of him in training and on his social media wearing mundials. Including his "Lived it. Loved it. Farewell beautiful game" photo

My favorite boot was the World Cup. Essentially Copa upper with soft ground base plate. On the right field, these had such an I ncredible bite, and awesome feel. Miss those days.

They might be old, but... I have rather wide feet. Every modern shoe that I was able to try on at the local sports store was more or less difficult to put on and more or less painful / uncomfortable to wear even for 10 minutes in the store. The copas are so easy to put on, and they feel great on my feet (well not as great as my various barefoot-style shoes, but they are as good as it gets).

Adidas Copa Mundial and Puma King are both iconic boots that have a cult following. I'm 38 and i do have mates that still wore these boots during our sunday league games.

[mikeywaite]

I've tried alot of football boots. I used to be Copa all the way until my mid twenties and I thought I'd try some new stuff. I can honestly say that the Copa is the best boot out of the lot, even better than the original Mania boots, well, perhaps not looks wise because they were ridiculous but still, the Copa oozes class and is so so comfortable.

[JuanMendoza-yknv]

I lost count how many Copa cleats I have owned in the past. I try other synthetic upper cleats, but I always go back to Copas. They are truly a masterpiece. For me Tiempos are the second best.

Hi, Josh. I couldn't agree more with your opinion about Copa Mundial. The younger generation never knows why copa mundial is the best of the best since the world cup of 1982, unless they give it a try.

[liverpooland]

Back when I was in Sunderland academy, the coaches would wear copas and I would always want a pair. Such class and prestige
Now I've got them and they do not disappoint. Love the mouldies!

[moryak]

I just bought my copas 2 weeks ago. Couldn't be happier !!!!

[estebancordova]

Josh I totally agree with these assumptions with the copa mundial. However, the copa 17.1 is a new silo in the adidas line so why don't they use the athletes under the adidas brand to wear the 17.1. I honestly don't see any athlete wearing the 17.1 (correct me if I am wrong).

[mickaitken]

Loved my copa, s !! Predator rapier were my 2 favourite boots of all time

[sirdook]

Copa mundial, Samba classic, Kaiser 5, my favorite indoor boots. I love the classic style, I see more and more people going back to the more oldschool look for their football boots/soccer cleats. I bought some samba's classic for futsal last season and this year 3 of mates switched to the more classic look. I just hate the weird colors look and feel of the modern boots.

I must disagree when you said: the boost won’t make the player better or worse.
Of course it does, every player has a different shape of feet, the way you hit the ball will never be the same for them all, reason why pros nowadays has bespoke measures for their “popular market “ boosts.
Mundial was the best boots I ever had, I’ve played from 10-14YO as amateur and 14-18 as professional in Brazilian main league.
I have returned playing last month after 12 years out of the pitches, bought 3 pairs of adidas boots and none of them gives the feel and comfort neither fits the way I hit the ball when shooting strong, for short passes any boots will do, but for long passes, chips, etc always take the boots that best fits your feet shape.

Example the legendary old school players, they are all still using their old models boots but refreshed to nowadays (colours and models name) for their events and friendly.
