Adidas Thread [10] - all info, pics, questions here

This, for me, is exactly how I was. When I was taking them back, I was absolutely devastated. Had scored some cracking goals in them and put in some of my best ever performances while wearing them and just felt very sad to see them go.

I'm not saying the boot had anything to do with it, but psychologically.. It was quite a blow.

 

Yep, same. Freekicks for me really. They were very very very nice boots. Think Adidas are fools for dropping a successful formula so soon.

In all honesty, I'd be happy with the weight of the boot going up 20g or so to improve the durability.

 

i too scored my best ever goal in adipower. Comfiest boots i ever wore!!! Free kick about 35 yeards out. pitch was poor. sloping downwards from right to left across the pitch. i was on the left so it was an uphill kick to the goal. curled it perfectly so it hit the inside of the crossbar/post and went in. Memories :/

 

Ouch! I tore my ACL about a year ago playing indoors as well, took a weird twist going after a spinning ball. Couldnt feel my leg for a couple of minutes while i was on the ground, and then afterwards it was the worst pain i've felt in my life. Couldnt walk properly for over a month. Im still waiting now for my surgery as the ACL doesnt heal by itself without surgery.

My best advice for you is, no matter how tempted you are to go kick a ball around when it seems that you knee feels ok, DONT. I did that twice and damaged my meniscuses even more. I completely know how it feels and wish you the best of luck in your recovery.

 

I personally really liked the Predator X, both fit and material wise. The lack of tongue wasn't really an issue but I thought the lacing system afforded one of the snuggest fits possible.

But as for conical vs. bladed... I've yet to REALLY have an issue with any stud configurations and moving back to conical you won't really see any difference and you can rest assured that there's potentially less torque on your joints.

 

Do the Adizero Micoach leather fit the same as the first 2 series?

Thanks

 

Thanks for the well wishes dude. I have surgery on Feb. 13th and will be out of commission for about 6-8 months and in no way am I planning on kicking any balls around.

Since everyone else is bragging about their "wonder" goals in adiPowers, I suppose I should as well. I scored directly off a corner kick, after my buddies on the sideline bet me to do it. And they also got the video on their cell phone. Gotta love when the crowd went nuts after that. It would have been a lot nicer if it was the winning goal, as opposed to our 6th goal. Ended up winning 6-1.

 

Thats really fast! I had to wait a few months to even get the MRI, but thats canadian health care for you, free but it takes sooooo long!

 

Yeah.... I'm getting mine done at the Mayo Clinic with Dr. Michael Stuart. He was the US Olympics doctor and I hear great things about him so I think I'm in good hands!

 

Lets see the vid??

 

I keep asking the dude to put it up on Facebook or send it to me but he hasn't yet. And this was from the summer so who knows if he even has it on his cell anymore. I'll try again!

 

New Predator LZ's, F50 colourways and new Adidas Jerseys in background also I think. Also one of the F50's in the bottom left corner has blades on it, maybe a sample or test model?

From Adidas's facebook page, they just pulled the picture but too late lol.

 

Honesty, the more I see the LZ, the more I fall in love.

Regarding 'wonder' goals, mine were both knuckle freekicks.

 

Any experience with these boots?
Copa Mundial vs Profi Liga

They seem the same except the tongue.

 

Hey guys, I was wondering whether any of you have tried the 11pro yet? We've received the 11nova and the 11core at my store, but have yet to receive the pro. I was looking into buying them, as the core and nova lines both seem to have been made wider.

Can any of you tell me if the 11pro itself will have a wider fit as well?

 

Was in my local sports store checking on some work gear. They had the Q3 2012 catalog and were happy for me to take a look. Sure most of it isn't particularly new but anyways.

The Euro 2012 colorways is red/blue for the LZ, adizero and 11pro.

adizero one just like current red/blue one but colors reversed. 11pro mostly blue with red stripes and trim etc. LZ as seen.

the white adizero photo a few post back will be a Messi colorway. Also upcoming silver/orange and black/silver adizero colorways.

11pro will have a black/warning colorway (it's not called warning but looks very similar). plus a white/sky blue.

interestingly they had the list of what colorways the sponsored players will wear through summer - xmas time. some stay with one colorway but others change every month or two.

the catalog did not show any of the SL version boots for some reason. they guy did say that the main catalog is sort of aimed at general sports stores so doesn't always have the full range of top models.

i was actually looking as i wanted a white indoor shoe, they don't seem so easy to get. would love the white 11pro (or really 11nova indoor shoe)

hope that's of some interest, remembering as much as can from catalog
