Initial Reactions to the adidas COPA 19+ and COPA 19.1

The adidas COPA19 series has been on the market for some time, but hands-on impressions are now available for both top-tier models. After testing the laceless X19+, returning to a knit collar and K-leather combination offers a noticeable change in feel and construction. This article provides first impressions of the 19+ and 19.1, focusing on material quality, design differences, and early feedback.

K‑Leather Upper and Texture

Both boots feature a K‑leather upper. The material is exceptionally supple and pliable to the touch, with a distinctive puff texture that resembles the body of the Michelin man in boot form. How this texture translates to ball feel will be confirmed after on-pitch testing, but initial handling is promising.

COPA 19+ Laceless Design

The laceless 19+ uses a slightly tighter K‑leather upper to maintain a snug fit around the foot. The knit collar and leather combination rekindles interest in laceless technology, offering a secure feel without laces.

COPA 19.1 Laced Version

The 19.1 features an unusual cut around the lacing area and reflective laces. Interestingly, the K‑leather on the 19.1 feels even more supple than on the 19+, likely because the laceless version requires a tighter upper to hold the foot securely.

Testing and Next Steps

Both models will undergo full testing this week, with detailed reviews to follow. For specific questions about either boot, comments are welcome.
