Limited-Edition Adidas Telstar 1970 + 2018 World Cup Ball Collection Released

Celebrating its legacy as the most iconic brand in football as well as the retro inspiration behind this year's World Cup ball, Adidas have designed a limited-edition box set that includes the 1970 and 2018 Telstar World Cup footballs.

This picture shows the full Adidas Telstar 1970 2018 collection.

Limited to 865 (or 500) pieces, the collection includes an original Adidas Telstar 18 match ball as well as what we believe to be a replica of the Adidas Telstar football used at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.

The specially crafted wooden box references the serial number and can be lit up using a USB connector at the rear.

Already available to buy in some places, the 1970 + 2018 Adidas Telstar World Cup ball collection retails at EUR 400, which is more than twice the recommended retail price of the 2018 'official match ball'.
