Soccer Shoes Adidas adizero RS7 Pro Shoes - Infrared/Cobalt & White/Red

Boot choice is a very unique and individual thing, the type of player who's worn Copa Mundials wouldn't likely switch into a pair of Superfly's, or someone who wears black boots probably wouldn't jump at the PowerCat Elektro's. So here presents to you an interesting case - the adizero RS7 boots - technically a rugby boot, but if they're your personal choice is there anything wrong with wearing them?

Before we talk about the tech of these new adizero RS7 rugby boots, lets get to the main question on everyones mind - can you play football in them? Well yes, we've checked regarding boot specifications and can confirm you are legally allowed to play football in the new adizero RS7 Rugby boots.


Better still, there is no obvious bespoke rugby branding on these adizero's, which some fans will notice aren't too dissimilar to the adizero 5-star American Football cleats, because as usual you get the standard 'adizero' text on the toe and 'sprint frame' on the outsole.



The next question to answer then is - would you want to play football in the adizero RS7 Pro boots? Which brings us back to our original question regarding personal choice, because technically these boots offer the same performance characteristics as the standard football adizero. But the colours and design offer something different to what currently exists.

The White/Red adizero's are a clean and classy colourway we've yet to really see in the range, apart from the whiteout synthetic and leather versions. Whilst the Infrared/Cobalt versions are an eye-catching number that will stand-out on pitch, and mixes just two colours rather than three and is without any of the artwork over the toe area.



As we know the adizero's are all about lightweight speed, and with their Sprint Frame outsole adidas really made a breakthrough in the market, therefore it's no surprise to see it on the RS7 Pro adizero Rugby boots. Around 50% lighter than all other regular TPU outsoles, the Sprint Frame still delivers a strong and stable mid-foot area designed to help prevent injury's, whilst giving you the reactivity and flex needed for acceleration.

The stud configuration is slightly different, with a combination of molded Traxion studs and longer exchangeable aluminium studs, which combine for maximum acceleration and speed on wet surfaces. But what might surprise a few people by not changing, is that adidas have still finished the adizero RS7 with the synthetic print and textured surface to help improve control when striking the ball - ideal for footballers!

With the winter season coming before summer in Europe, these adidas adizero RS7 Pro boots could be a real option for some boot fans out there. They not only look great, but you can be quite sure there won't be another player on the pitch wearing the same boots as you! Obviously the debate will still rage on, but ultimately is it not a case of personal preference?Plus a nice bonus, these versions come in slightly cheaper than their football counterparts at around £140 GBP / $190 USD / €170 EURO.
