The adidas Top Sala futsal shoes are, without a doubt, one of those ranges that many players remember with particular fondness. And it’s no coincidence: despite the fierce competition in futsal, the adidas Top Sala have always stood out for offering exceptional quality.
adidas Top Sala 2019
Just as was the case in early 2019 with the launch of its main rival, these new adidas Top Sala futsal shoes feature no changes or major innovations compared to the previous version. Any futsal fan will readily realise that the world of futsal boots is quite traditional and does not exactly stand out for its major breakthroughs. When something works, brands tend to stick to a formula that has already proven its worth in subsequent versions of the range. Examples include the Munich Continental, the Joma Top Flex and the Kelme Precision.
With this launch, the brand with the three stripes is making it clear that it is going all out to compete for dominance in the futsal market. This comeback is set to make many players think twice when choosing their new futsal shoes for the rest of the season.
Technical features: adidas Top Sala
The upper of this shoe is made from synthetic leather, a very soft material that moulds easily to the shape of the foot. It is designed to provide excellent ball contact, both when controlling the ball and when dribbling at high speed. Durability is also assured, as it features a reinforced and protective toe cap, finished with traditional stitching.
The sides of this adidas futsal shoe feature mesh panels that help keep it lightweight and breathable. These areas are reinforced with synthetic material, similar to that used in the upper, which prevents the structure from giving way too much during sudden changes of direction – something that is very common in a sport as dynamic as futsal.
If we look at the sole of this shoe, we can say that it is one of the most comprehensive of all the futsal ranges currently available on the market. In the forefoot area, we find a material called Gel Grip, which, together with the pivot point, ensures the boot responds perfectly to all kinds of sudden stops, even the most unexpected ones. In the heel area, the standout feature is its checkered design, which provides a sole built to withstand the most common types of wear and tear in futsal.
And now we come to the most interesting part: the midsole, where we find two materials that really bring this shoe to life. EVA foam and adiPrene work together to provide the right level of cushioning in all kinds of situations, right from the moment you put them on.
