Continuing a longstanding tradition of World Cup boot packs, Adidas have revealed their hand for Qatar 2022, and it’s a bright and colourful affair all round.The pack is named ‘Al Rihla’, following in the footsteps of the official match ball for the tournament, and it sees the Predator Edge, X Speedportal and COPA Sense arriving in suitably bright looks all round.Al Rihla translates as “the journey” in Arabic,and, like the match ball the boot pack has been inspired by the architecture, iconic boats, and the flag of Qatar.

The gold-coloured X Speedportal Leyenda was released to mark Messi's fifth World Cup and was inspired by elements of the shoes the Argentine wore on his tournament debut back in 2006.'Leyenda' is Spanish for legend and is a fitting nod to the 35-year-old who has won a record seven Ballon d'Ors.The Adidas X Speedportal 1 garnered the reputation of being the best Adidas football boots and the best speed boots in general.These boots are the ultimate speed boot, providing the player with everything they could want in a football shoe.

The Adidas X Speedportal was made with a series of recycled materials, this upper features at least 50% recycled content.Part of a comprehensive stability system, rigid-but-lightweight carbon pieces lock your heel in place during high-speed sprints.Lightweight and flexible, the Speedframe outsole is designed for effortless acceleration.A stretchy collar for adaptive support, ultralight comfort and ease of entry.

The Predator Edge+ firm ground boots are designed with a football player's comfort and mobility in mind.The sneaker design provides power, control, and an increase in performance.In terms of the actual game on the field, these laceless football boots have a Zone Skin upper with separate ribbed segments for different types of ball contact.A weighted power facet in the forefoot provides more gravitas to strikes.Furthermore, the adjustable Adidas Primeknit collar keeps the feet secure.

The design of these sneakers allows football players to connect with their senses, with each movement on the field.The Copa Sense is distinguished from other cleats by its subtle leather base, which provides a smooth finish against the rugged field.Furthermore, the fully integrated upper conforms to the contours of your foot for a secure fit,and the TPU outsole provides excellent traction on firm ground.It was the first time in 20 years that Chinese referee Ma Ning participated in the FIFA World Cup as the fourth official.His choice was a pair of all black Adidas Copa 20.1 soccer cleats.
