The Copa Mundial (World Cup) has become the best selling soccer shoe of all time.[citation needed] Released in 1979 but designed for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. Going through very slight changes since then the Copa is made of a 100% kangaroo leather upper for maximum ball control.[1] The thin leather also forms to the foot and is easy to break in.

In 2007 Adidas put out a 25th anniversary package for the Copa. This limited edition package included a specialized box along with wooden shoe trees, leather polish, a key chain, and a special cloth.

Famous Wearers: Michel Platini, Diego Maradona, Franz Beckenbauer, Jari Litmanen, Miroslav Klose and Daniel Hayes.[citation needed]
