The Adidas Copa 17 Red Limit is the flagship boot but it comes with three siblings. The past is so good that it needed a quartet to come into the future.
Available in a fortnight’s time, the outstanding boot silo takes the Red Limit 17.1 edition and carries the class throughout the silo.
ADIDAS COPA 17.1 Football Boot
The Red Limit is the highlight of the range.
A premium price gets you a premium boot. The upper is supple Kangaroo leather with a Sprintframe outsole, as well as an external counterbalance on the heel.
ADIDAS COPA 17.2 Football Boot
A step down from the real thing, the 17.2 features “Taurus leather” on the upper.
Externally, the differentiation between the top tiers of the silo is a shorter tongue on this model.
Closer inspection reveals a different soleplate with a modernist red design around the conical studs on a white background.

This is the 17.3 boot below:
Visually, this is the boot in the silo with the fullest tongue. A leather upper sits atop a plain white soleplate with matching studs.
Overall, this is the 17.2 boot without the ‘Taurus leather’ upper.
ADIDAS COPA 17.4 Football Boot
This is the 17.4 football boot:
The basic model in the silo, this features a synthetic upper and moulded sole with a distinctive black patterning.
