Successor

The follow-up to the wildly popular F50 adiZero, the adiZero Prime set a ludicrous new benchmark in lightweight performance footwear by beating out their older models by a slight 20g. The undisputed Highest Scoring Boot of the World Cup the original adiZero was available in two different material selections, Leather and Synthetic – with the Synthetic version of the cleats tipping the scales at a mere 165g.

The new adiZero Prime will be available in just Synthetic, but has had several special tweaks to bring it’s weight down to a mere 145g per boot. Amazingly, the adiZero wasn’t the lightest boot released last year, with German rivals Puma releasing the v1.10SL at 155g; but with the adiZero Primes, it definitely seems that the legendary Three Stripes of Adidas will take some shifting from their new throne.

Technology

One of the reasons behind this weight-drop is the new upper. Dubbed the adiTwin Light, this newly designed material is exclusive to the adiZero Prime and is once again a single-layer synthetic for optimum comfort, ball feel and, of course, weight-reduction.

Next is the TPU bottom frame. We know that Adidas are real fans of TPU, having used it in the original adiZeros internal support bands, and we see it again here in the form of the dark coloured ‘rim’ above the soleplate and bellow the upper.

This handy feature will take the strain away from the upper and frame (which – due to the forces exerted during a match – are constantly trying to move in different directions) and result in a more durable, comfortable pair of football boots.

Finally Adidas have also clearly left no stone unturned on the adiZero Prime, employing lightweight (and bulletproof!) Kevlar laces to ensure that every last milligram of unnecessary weight has been shaved off these sharp looking football boots.

Pricing

The main point of contention for most football boots fans will be the cost. At £260/$400, these are the single most expensive football boots that Adidas have ever produced.

Many fans still bemoan the £275 price tag of the Mercurial Vapor Superfly II a year after it’s release, and many fans will see the £260 price of the adiZero Prime as a move by Adidas to move their football boots into the same ‘prestigious’ price-bracket that their American counter-parts have created.

What Are Water Spots?

They are those little irregularly circular shapes that appear after water has dried of the car’s surface. They can range from barely visible to extremely visible as if painted on the car. They occur when water beads evaporate from the surface of the car leaving hard minerals on the paint’s surface.

Water spot removal can be very difficult if not impossible without the right tools. Furthermore the severity of the problem can depend on how hard or soft the water is that caused it. In milder cases a gentle wipe while shampooing a car can remove it. In very bad cases only a car care product with abrasive polishing properties can remove them.

What Water Sports Can Do to a Car’s Paint

Water spots can attach to a car’s paint. A bonding process can happen between the trace elements and the paint of your car if the water spot is allowed to stay on. Exposure to the heat of the sun accelerates this bonding process.

If left for more than a few days time with the sun scorching on the paint, water spots will begin etching the paint. This will make it a fixture on your car’s surface which can be very ugly.

How to Avoid Getting Them

Although it can be hassle the best way to prevent this stains is to make sure your car is always dry. As soon as it gets wet from the rain try to park it somewhere dry and begin washing it. If you are in a hurry a detailing spray and a microfiber cloth to wipe it with can save your car finish. It is much better to spend 5 minutes to get out water beads as soon as they form rather than spend hours later on polishing it off or worse shell out hundreds of dollars to have it removed from a detailing shop.

Water spots are probably one of the worst paint problems you can encounter with your car. If you allow it to set in and bake under the heat of the sun it will be very difficult to remove. Taking time to wipe off any excess water of your car is the best way of preventing them from happening.
