Why the Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boot is Not Really a Limited Edition
Apr 22, 2015, by Chris
Is the revolutionary Adidas Primeknit 2.0 2015 Football Boot a rare collector's item? Not really. Even though the cutting-edge boot is part of the new Adidas 'Limited Collection' Soccer Cleats Pack, the new Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boot won't become a lucrative business for resellers on eBay.
Limited to 10,000 pairs globally, the new Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boot might be the least limited 'limited edition' boot release in awhile.
But what are the reasons for Adidas to label the Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Cleats as limited edition?
Adidas Primeknit 2.0 - Limited to 10,000 pairs globally
10,000 pairs of the Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boots are available globally.
Let's start with a bit of history. In 2002, Nike patented the revolutionary Flyknit technology. Flyknit is an one-piece yarn upper that revolutionized the design of shoes forever offering a sock-like fit. Additionally, Flyknit also cuts labor costs and production time compared to traditional shoes, which are comprised from various elements.
In 2012, Adidas launched the first knitted Adidas Boots ever. The Adidas Primeknit running show was released with a limited run of 2,012 pairs at the London Olympics in July 2012.
Nike, who launched the Nike Flyknit in February 2012, filed an injunction against Adidas to stop promoting and selling the Adidas Primeknit shoe, which would be a copy of the Nike Flyknit. Even though a court in Nuremberg set the injunction aside, Adidas is still not allowed to launch a regular Primeknit release - and has only launched limited edition runs of Primeknit Boots yet.
The first Adidas Primeknit Football Boot (released in February 2014) was limited to 150 pairs globally, while the second colorway of the Adidas Primeknit Cleat was limited to 500 pairs globally. Meanwhile, Nike launched the knitted Nike Magista Obra and Nike Mercurial Superfly for the 2014 World Cup - and has likely sold million pairs of the boots since then.
The Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boot is the next product of the Adidas Limited Collection Boots Pack, albeit Adidas are making 10,000 pairs of the boot, which retails at 220 GBP (300 Euro, 300 USD). The Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Limited Edition Boot will definitely not sell out within a few days.

The fact that Adidas is able to produce 10,000 pairs of the Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boots shows that Adidas would be prepared to release a knitted boot in Summer 2015. But Adidas won't be able to launch a regular Adidas Primeknit Boot because of Nike's Flyknit patents. See all upcoming Adidas 2015-2016 Boots in our detailed article.
FC Barcelona 26-27 Sant Jordi Fourth Kit Leaked in Real Life
New real-life images of FC Barcelona's upcoming 26-27 special fourth kit have been shared by michaelemilio_, providing the best look yet at the physical jersey. Dedicated to Sant Jordi (Saint George), the patron saint of Catalonia, the shirt breaks away from the club's traditional yellow Senyera designs in favor of an elegant flat opal and light beige base, dominated by a large maroon St. George's cross across the torso.
Inside the collar sits a printed maroon rose emblem, the historic symbol of the Diada de Sant Jordi, accompanied by a small Catalan flag detail at the back of the neck. The leaked shirt is printed with young midfielder Xavi Espart's name and squad number 36 in navy with red outlines.
The complete uniform will be paired with dark navy shorts and socks. As standard for FC Barcelona's cup competitions and European fixtures, the jersey will feature the club's custom cup lettering rather than the standardized La Liga font.
The Nike FC Barcelona 26-27 Sant Jordi fourth kit capsule is scheduled to officially launch in January 2027.
Adidas Messi Special-Edition Argentina Kit Leaked - 2 New Images
We have new images of the special-edition Adidas Lionel Messi Argentina kit, showing the design produced with authentic Climacool+ specifications. However, the jersey in the pictures is a counterfeit. Fakers have moved quickly to manufacture physical shirts that replicate Adidas' latest top-tier player-issue template based on earlier replica/fan leaks of the signature design. Following Messi's international retirement after the 2026 World Cup, it remains to be seen what Adidas will ultimately do with the official rollout of the special-edition Messi kit and accompanying collection, and if it will be available as authentic and worn in a match.
