A Modern Review of the Classic Adidas Copa Mundial

In the realm of the German sports industry, the Adidas Copa Mundial holds a special place, boasting over four decades of history on the football field, featuring iconic wearers such as Maradona, Beckenbauer, and Zidane. Despite its elusive nature, Mehran Rowshan of the eponymous YouTube channel found a pair in Dubai, though the shopkeeper’s restrictions led to an unconventional acquisition. Eager to share the experience with his followers, Rowshan bought the boots and prepared an in-depth review, celebrating the superior kangaroo leather material used in the 1979 design, and the care evident in every detail that showcases German craftsmanship.

Enlisting the help of Zydan, a talented young player from the under-14s, Rowshan sought to evaluate the boots in a modern context. As Zydan swapped his contemporary Mercurials for the Copa Mundial’s foldable tongue and vintage studs, he offered insights into the boot's performance. Contrary to common belief, the boots proved to be lightweight and potentially beneficial to gameplay thanks to the softness of the leather—a surprise given their age.

The review culminated in a candid discussion about the practicality of wearing the Copa Mundial today. While Zydan acknowledged the superior quality, he expressed reservations about using them in training or matches due to their outdated style. Despite such hesitations, Rowshan concluded that the Adidas Copa Mundial remains one of the most reliable options for players with flat or wide feet, lauding its timeless design. Yet, he also noted some drawbacks when compared to modern boots, such as the potential for the boot to feel heavier in wet conditions. Ultimately, Rowshan believes the choice of boot comes down to personal preference and the Copa Mundial still stands as an affordable, high-quality contender in the football world.
