The Earth Pack: A New Wave of Brazilian-Inspired Football Shoes from adidas

Every World Cup year is an exciting one for football fans. That's a given. But it looks like adidas Football is even more excited than the regular fans for this year's tournament, which will be held in Brazil.

adidas has released several lines of Brazilian-inspired football shoes. You had the Samba Pack late last year. Then the Copa Mundials were given a refresh with Samba colors. The Carnaval Pack came earlier this year. And now, they've unleashed the Earth Pack.

The Earth Pack is inspired by the Brazilian rainforest. The landscape inspired adidas designers to come up with the collection that again contains the four main silos of adidas, namely the lightweight adizero f50, the predator, 11pro and the nitrocharge. Fans of the more subtle colorways will be in for a treat with this line. They're a lot more subdued than their Samba and Carnaval relatives.




The details from the official press release have these descriptions of each shoe:

"adizero™ f50
The adizero™ f50, worn by players such as Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez, enables players to be as fast as possible on the football field. The Glow / Earth Green / Solar Zest coloured Earth Pack adizero™ f50 boasts SPEEDTRAXION, an enhanced, high speed stud alignment for maximum acceleration and pinpoint changes of direction, and SPEEDFOIL, a revolutionary material that combines lightweight, softness and durability for a comfortable, yet locked down heel fit. 



nitrocharge™
nitrocharge™, the energy-retaining football boot designed for 'The Engine' as worn by Dani Alves and Javi Martinez, comes in an Earth Green / Running White / Solar Zest colourway. Its unique and highly elastic ENERGYSLING™ around the forefoot supports sidecut and precision turn movements to sharpen reactions on the pitch, and ENERGYPULSE™ spring technology provides high energy push-offs and long lasting energy return when sprinting. 



predator® Lethal Zones
The Earth Pack predator® Lethal Zones favoured by the likes of Oscar and Mesut Ozil boasts a Running White / Earth Green / Solar Zest colourway. Designed with five distinctive 'Lethal Zones' of technology to deliver outstanding ball control, touch, accuracy and power, the boot is made to master every aspect of performance. 



11pro
With a Black / Running White / Solar Slime colourway the Earth Pack 11pro has a classic look favoured by star players such as Philipp Lahm and Frank Lampard. With its premium, ultra-soft and ultra-light Taurus leather providing excellent fit, performance, comfort and ball-feel allied to an enhanced outsole with comfort frame for better pressure distribution, as well as optimised stud placement for maximum grip and acceleration, the 11pro remains the boot of choice for the complete footballer. 


The most exciting professional players in the world will wear the new adidasEarth Pack boots onfield from April 1st onwards, with the boots available to purchase on the same day at adidas own-retail outlets as well as specialist stores worldwide.
