The boots for the WC - adidas Al Rihla Pack

The World Cup is, without a doubt, the sporting event of the season. For a football fan, there are very few feelings quite like seeing your national team take to the pitch to play a World Cup match, and thankfully, that will be one of the few positive things we will experience during this World Cup.

We have known about the Qatar World Cup ball for a few months now, as well as the kits that all the teams will wear, so all that remains is to find out about the football boots for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Today, adidas is the first brand to present the boots that its players will wear during this World Cup, a collection that shares the same name as the tournament ball, Al Rihla. 

A striking design that matches the ball is the similarity between the three adidas boot ranges for the Qatar World Cup, although each one has a different base colour. We will start with the German brand's flagship product, the adidas Predator Edge football boots. White is the base colour for the adidas striking boot range, creating total harmony between the ball and the boot, thanks to their shared main colour and decoration.

In terms of technology, there are no new features, as this is simply a change of decor without a generational leap. However, in my opinion, the new location of the German brand's three stripes gives a different look to a silo that needed a change.

And from Predator we move on to the adidas Copa Sense football boots, which seem to be the least aesthetically pleasing in this collection. The adidas leather silo returns to black at the base, a dark background that allows the striking Al Rihla decoration to stand out more than in any other silo and adds light and colour to the brand's most classic model. 

The three stripes stand out, this time occupying the central front area of the boots, a location we haven't seen before and which undoubtedly results in something different. As with the adidas Predator football boots, there are no technological changes in a silo that adidas is deciding to maintain over time for longer than the brand usually does.

Finally, we will talk about the adidas X Speedportal football boots for the Qatar World Cup, the silo we will see most on the pitch during this tournament. A striking, colourful and flamboyant design is something that fits perfectly with the X philosophy. This, combined with the beautiful turquoise colour that adidas has used as the background for its speed boot, results in the most beautiful boots that the brand's players will wear during the Qatar World Cup.

Endless lines and colours that, although they also appear in Copa and Predator, look different, better and more meaningful on X Speedportal football boots. Needless to say, there are no technological changes in a silo that has just been launched and will have the greatest presence on the pitches of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

These are the adidas football boots for the World Cup in Qatar, with striking, bold colours for a collection that we hope to remember as the boots worn by the Spanish national team players the year we won our second World Cup.
