What Boots Were Released in the adidas Red Limit Collection?

Last week, adidas announced the launch of a new Red Limit Collection, introducing us to each boot in the range over time. First it was a modern classic in the Copa 17.1, and then the brand new ACE 17+ PURECONTROL – an innovative boot that brings the brand’s BOOST technology to soccer for the first time. In another first, the Red Limit collection also features a street adaption of each silo, allowing players to take their game from the stadium, to the cage, to the street.

Dean Lokes, Vice President of product adidas soccer, said:

The Red Limit collection is the first time we’ve gone from the stadium to the street in the same collection. We’ve introduced a range of boots in on-pitch, cage and street silos so you can perform as well off the pitch as you can on it. The introduction of adidas’ leading BOOST technology highlights our constant desire to innovate within the sport and our endless drive to produce game-changing footwear for all types off footballers; wherever they play the game.

Basically, there is a LOT going on with this collection. So, we wanted to bring you a breakdown of the most important boots in the range, with the intent to give you better insight into what is available.
