Cleats/Boots

Although adidas won the sportswear World Cup with Argentina and Lionel Messi lifting the trophy, the company isn't taking any time off. On Monday, adidas launched the first strike of the 2023 boot war by dropping the Predator Precision Archive.

Throwing it back to the iconic Precision cleats of 2000, the latest releases have an all-new color way (white, black and "Team Shock Pink") and the classic fold-over tongue secured with Velcro. The Three Stripes are looking classy. 

If the USMNT is going to reach the knockout rounds of the World Cup, Christian Pulisic is going to have to standout in the final third. He's halfway there with a new Christian Pulisic PUMA collection ("CP Collection") that features his first-ever signature cleat and some July 4th approved apparel. 

The boots that created the Goal of the Tournament at Euro 2022 are now literal national treasures to be displayed in the Tower of London alongside England’s other crown jewels.

We're entering the final bend before fall, that time of year synonymous with the start of the European season and the first cleat launches of the campaign. A lot is going to be happening over the next couple months with the World Cup fast approaching, but Nike is up first with the "Lucent Pack," which introduces new color ways for the Air Zoom Superfly, Air Zoom Vapor, Tiempo Legend IX and Phantom GT II.
