Actually, i’m pretty sure they’re still 165g.

they looks like the womans versions of the boot,

The Adizero Primes will be of available purchase by 2/1/11. My source is the Adidas Product Development Department.

@Mike Edworthy, stupid comment because the Prime will be 145 grams, reduction of weight comes in the upper. Retail launch is 1 Feb 2011.

Way too expensive? They may be pricier than the adizero’s, but at least they are a massive improvement, whereas a Superfly costs more, and is, lets be honest, cr@p when it comes to being a pure speed boot.

Guys don’t doubt footy-boots!! The primes are 145g

Adidas have also released new regular adizeros which are still 165g

The primes are basically adidas’s version of the nike elite series…. awesome, but too expensive for you average joe

I’m guessing the adiZero II is just a re-painted adiZero whilst the Prime is the one with the Kevlar laces and new upper described above.

Wat is wrong with this site? every time I comment or ask the geeks a question, my question is not answered and my comment not posted! I hope that this one appears! The Geeks, plz answer my questions it cant take you six months to answer a question! Such a nuisance as appart from this, i luv this site!

I don’t understand the price raise at all. 20 g lighter and it shoots up 200$? And how much of a difference is there if adidas is still making the Messi colourway in the original adizero. One of the reasons that the original adizero was so popular was the fact that it was half the price of the superfly. Way to ruin a great boot adidas.

for real, adidas football boots worst kept secret, do you think lionel messi will have his own colourway for the primes

@ harry
yeah theyre ‘chrome’

-20 grams off of the 1st adizero. not bad. elite price, very bad. adizeros were a hit last 2010 not just for the tech it offered but for its competitive pricing!
maybe nike nudged adidas to price their boot evenly to see who’d sell better if they were equally priced…?

over double the price for 20g? definately for the rich or collectors, cant see these selling as well as the originals

The price isn’t double…$299.99 at soccer.com. $100 more than the regular adiZero but still $100 lss than Superfly 2′s.

absolutely spot on with the design comment. They are freakishly ugly. Simplicity signals light, not lines and crap all over the boot.
I don’t own a pair of Adizero’s but have tried holding them in the store, and they already feel Nonexisting, like if you sat on your hand till it went numb and got blindfolded I’m not sure you would be able to tell if someone put that boot in your hand, and with that said, those 20 grams is purely Marketing to get, too young to know any better kids buy these boots for double the price.
If all this lightweight is so fantastic why do the top players not wear them. Messi wear the leather version, and I have only seen CR play in the superfly II FG once, which was in their debut, where he BTW switched at halftime to an old pair of Superfly with SG studs.
All this weight talk is just what the boot manufacturers want, while most of us would play much better in Leather boots, even adizero leather.
With that said, man these are some ugly boots, looks like they were designed by children.

messi uses the leather version, so they’d probably release a leather one for the messi f50s… CR does use the superfly 2, just with a mixed-stud sole plate.

I find it amusing guys going on long pro-nike rants about how nike has “better” materials etc etc. I don’t own any adidas boots myself and I respect nike for their kanga-lite material and maestris . As a largely neutral observer it is clear that adidas are providing the customer with what they want while technically innovating and catching attention. Nike just do the latter two and don’t seem to cater to customer feedback in terms of colourways and innovations, doing what they want and expecting everyone to like it as show with the laser redesign, the superfly redisgn, the maestri redesign and the upcoming tiempo redesign (flywire and kangalite people, can that be called a classic boot anymore? *_*) Of course it is necessary to innovate and push boundaries but sometimes ou need to admit a mistake and go back to the drawing board as adidas did with the f50 line and adipure IV (made it more like the adipure 1 many people claimed to like). All companies have to innovate, but while not forgetting or alienating football boot history.

You are totally misunderstanding the prime. It is basically adidas saying ” What? Puma have a boot lighter than our adizero?. Well then, let’s make a boot even lighter than that at all costs” And that is the adizero prime. Kevlar laces?! Obviously kevlar is not cheap but what do adidas and the pros care? They have the lightest boot title back and this is a big thing. I prefer this innovation approach to nike just thinning the upper, putting more carbon fibre and raising the price. Yes, that’s right, think carefully, all of nike’s “innovations” apart from int he maestri have to do with carbon fibre….then they charge you $200 extra dollars. Adidas are not much better in this respect but whatever they did, it worked, they have the lightest boot, while even with all the carbon fibre nike is not pushing any boundaries.

However adidas are not stupid. (you know how people always clamour for blackout and whiteout boots? well which company released just those exact colourways in a popular boot? ADIDAS.

They know people love the adizero beacuse it is cheaper and lighter than the superfly and so apart from the prime there also exists the adizero II which is the same price and lightness of the adizero I. Just with different graphics so it looks like the prime because these days people seem to care about looks a lot and few can tell the difference between $400 primes and $200 normal adizero II from just looking. That is the main reason for the garish design.

Adidas are bringing out normal adipures and predators as well as “super light” adipures and predators. In this way they are able to keep up with the brainwahsed public clamouring for lightweight boots while staying true to their core and roots. Imagine guys, full k-leather adipures almost as light as adizero, satisfying the “light” crowd and the “comfort/protection/touch” crowd……you won’t have to imagine for much longer……

hehe, took me only 10 minutes; sorry for writing that much. I just had all the info in my head….I’m becoming a true boot-nut. ^_^

You guys do realise there is still the “ordinary” adiZero which is a fantastic boot at a resonable price???

No ones forcing you to buy the “top level” version -.-” some players (like me) don’t like a boot that is too light

agree with my man kuuku there -always came up with good thoughts.

i just can’t get it how come nowadays’s new breed of football boots always came up with this tasteless designs?!?!
(prime’s multi colored studs are just totally retarded. they looked like a candy store and reminds me of a hillbilly farmer’s tooth arrangements xP)

With my speed and these new AdiZero Prime I’ll be fastest left back ever. That is after Roberto Carlos, Ashley Cole and a few others. LOL

Weeehheeeiii i’ve got them:) i am 14, and i got them 4 my birthday on the 8 February:) they are incredibly light, and btw have you heard about the adidas adizero rs7? They are more 4 rugby thow:L they weigh 165g, the same as the old adizero’s!:)

I had the adizeros and I got the adizero prime, the prime version is a lot better because it dosen’t heart your toes and fells a lot better when you wear it rather when the original ones.
