A starter kit, including one set of uppers, an insole and three sets of studs, costs $170, but the real revenue potential for Adidas, and retailers, lies in the add-ons: $80 for each extra upper and $40 for an additional insole. Adidas is about to launch 32 new uppers, with the colors and imprints of each World Cup nation--bright orange for the Netherlands, green and white for Iran--in the hope that they become collector's items. "There are endless opportunities for upsell," says...
