The Copa Mundial (Spanish for World Cup) football boot was released in 1979, but designed for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. Going through very slight changes since then, the Copa is made of kangaroo leather upper.[1] Additional leather supports are provided from the heel, which are intended to improve durability and stability.[2]. As of 2001 it was the best-selling football boot.[3]
Variations to the boot include the Adidas World Cup, which has screw-in studs for soft ground.
In 2007, Adidas released a 25th anniversary package for the Copa, including a box with anniversary artwork, a wooden shoe trees, leather polish, a key chain, a postcard with Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft from 1982 and a cloth. The boot was also slightly varied with the "Copa Mundial" on the side in gold rather than silver letters and tweaks to the tongue and heel collar echoing the 1982 original. With the release of the 25th anniversary package, Copa Mundial jackets, shirts and other apparel were also released.
