Adidas "Mercury Pack" Euro & Copa America 2016 Football Boots Released

Following on Nike and Puma, who both already unveiled their respective football boot collections for this summer's big international tournaments, Adidas this morning launched its own "Mercury Pack". Included in the Adidas Mercury soccer cleat collection are bold and striking paint jobs for the Ace, Messi and X, the latter two the first of a new generation, that combine a silver base with colorful accents.
