SR PELE SPORTS TRINITY 3E FIRST IMPRESSION

The Pele Sports Trinity are arguably one of the most intriguing boots on the market right now, featuring a Symbioskin upper and an outlandish stud configuration everyone, including myself is wondering if they can out muscle the likes of the adidas F50 adiZero and Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly. I’ve finally taken the Pele Sports Trinity out for a light training session and have had the opportunity to experience a glimpse of what they are all about. 

First off, the Trinity’s are deceivingly bright. Although at first glance one may not think so, when you take them out in the sun the studs jump right out at you. However, it’s not too flashywhich in my books, is a really good thing.  The Trinity’s are the most comfortable boot on the market, but then again they aren’t designed for comfort, that being said they aren’t painful at all, and there isn’t really any breaking in that has to be done. I was really happy with how clean of a strike you get with the Trinity, I wasn’t expecting anything special shooting wise, but I discovered that taking shots with the boots is a joy.

As I was wearing these on turf, the studs got stained by the rubber, something that I had semi-expected. However, it’s the performance on the innovative stud configuration that really caught my attention. Although they look unstable, they aren’t at all. I found that making sharp turns while sprinting was a lot easier in the Trinity’s than it had been in other boots.

I was pretty disappointed that the Symbioskin upper had already been scuffed during the first session with the boots. Considering I’m not left footed, and shoot predominantly with my right foot it has left me a little bit perplexed how my left boot got scuffed. It may be a one off instance and while I further test the boots out I’ll be on the look out for any more scuff marks.

In conclusion, the Trinity have initially been a pretty good boot. Apart from the scuffing on the upper and the sizing issues (order half a size down!), I’ve been happy with how the studs have worked to my advantage and how great shooting in them is. Stay tuned for a full review in the coming weeks.
