Boot Spy > Schweinsteiger's Boots Up-Close - adiPure V?




A few weeks ago SoccerBible broke the story that Bastian Schweinsteiger was sporting a very unique pair of adidas football boots. Following the recent Bayern Munich kit launch and photo-shoot, we've got some exclusive up-close photography which gives our fans the chance to see the boots like nowhere else on the web can offer...



It was back on February 8th that our Boot Spy team first spotted Schweinsteiger wearing a mystery whited-out adidas football boot, and we've been on the trail ever since trying to get to the bottom of the mystery! Being an adiPure wearer our natural assumption was Schweinsteiger was play testing a new incarnation, possibly the adiPure 5, and now these pics could provide the answers.





We don't want to speculate too much, because Schweinsteiger's football boots could be a 'top secret' project! But in presenting these pictures, it gives you the boot loving fans a chance to be involved in what could be a very exciting boot release from adidas.





It could well be that these mystery adidas football boots are a prototype for the the adiPure V, but even if they aren't there's plenty for us boot fans to talk about. Whether it's the unique Sprint Frame outsole, the stitching patterns, the adidas three-stripes, the text on the tongue or the burnt off laces, Schweinsteiger is definitely the proud owner of a pair of the most unique football boots on the planet!

The stitching are kinda like the current leather adizeros n along with the sprint frame, MAYBE these WERE A PROTOTYPE for the adipure SL???

Madridmanfan792 said:

@ulfinator yeah some people do that to get so that way their laces aren't so long I actually did it and it worked. But the name on his boots is that his wife?

Just an idea here, but what if those weren't adiPure's?  Isn't it a little early for a new adiPure anyways?  And the colorway is the same as the current ones.  What if this was a whole new boot from Adidas?  Judging the quality of the boot, it is most likely some kind of prototype.  What if Adidas just disguised this boot as an adiPure so no one would know what it really was, thus confusing boot Spies Like Us (anyone else seen that movie?)!!!  On the other hand, Adidas is terrible at keeping secrets... so this is probably just another adiPure. :)

Gooner07 said:

@pWN-R       more than likely either just an adipure spec'd to schweinsteigers liking  or the adipure 5  disguised as an adipure 4 so that he could try and play  them in a game without arousing too much speculation on them... either way  they still couldn't keep someone from spottin em.

Y not choose a different colour than white/black/blue, if you want to wear those colours then you might as well wear Adipure IV?!

I would like to point out that I was the one who emailed you guys (SoccerBible) this image, and got no credit or mention for it. Unless you're saying that I'm part of this "Boot Spy" team.

Waldrinho said:

It's a prototype for the new 7406's! ! !  Nah, it's probably just a prototype for the Adipure SL's from a while ago. . .   This whole thread gets a whopping BFD.

Ulfinator said:

i wouldn´t burn the laces i just cut mine :D

only soleplate different...-.-

April 21, 2011 3:52 PM
 

Interpol said:

The burnt laces are just plain wierd, also the blue chipping off on the soleplate is very bizzare. The sripes you can see have sort of been elongated in a somewhat crudely manner. It does look a bit like the 7406 but it made to look like the newest adipure that we have on the market.

I wonder........

petr said:

those look way better than the adipure 4.

April 21, 2011 4:49 PM
 

Madridmanfan792 said:

@ulfinator If you just cut them they'll unravel over time so you burn the tips so it sticks man. And No whoever said thats his daughter I looked and it's his gf

Manik11 said:

The stitching looks kinda like the current Tiempos on the side there. But the studs are strange.

They look way better than the adi pure 4's to me anyways
