We are not quite sure what happened to the German brand Aspero, but it seems that the small brand is permanently closed (according to their Facebook page). Back in 2012, we tested out their initial Classic 1.0 release and although we were left wanting a lot more from the power/control boot, …

After several weeks of speculation, Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa has decided to join Team Adidas and wear the F50 adiZero. He had been sporting several different brands over the past few weeks and we were well aware he was being tracked by several brands. Our bet was on Puma to …

Every now and again, an idea comes about that seems to work, yet some last minute decisions can shelve the produce boot altogether. This is the current case with the Adidas Nitrocharge 1.0 Kevlar, that was set for impending release and even made the pages of the current soccer.com catalog. …

Releasing a synthetic and leather version of the same boot is nothing new for the big brands.
