Made in Japan/Exclusive to Japan thread [1] - all info, pics, questions here plz

Well I made it through NYE with most of my Christmas money so it's probably time to cave in and buy some Asics 2002's

Where's my best place to get them from? Think Sportsguide had the lowest price last time I checked, do you still order through email with that guy?

What's the conclusion on sizing too, same as Morelia or drop half a size?

 

mark,

get from tis shop >

hope they hv your size

if u compare vs Morelia II, go 0.5 smaller

in my case, Morelia II = 255; asics 2002 = 250
same feel, shoe length

my foot measured = R 25.3 L 25.1

 

I'd need to use a forwarding service to order from that store though wouldn't I?

I've just seen another store, Argonautes or something, that has them a bit more eexpensive but has discount on their delivery.

 

no, gokuspo ship direct

no need tenso

 

i want to rep 100 times!!!!

 

Ah ok, just that it had link for information on forwarding services next to the price where I've seen delivery price info on other shops.

Do I need to email then or can I just order through their normal system? I don't quite understand their delivery information either. It says something about receiving a confirmation email for a Japanese shipping address before receiving a proper confirmation when the payment clears?

 

mark, just order thru the rakuten page, enter the necessary details

u need to hv an a/c with rakuten

1st email is from rakuten, then the shop will email you on the postage, u may hv to kinda copy the email into google translate

2nd email shud hv EMS rates/fees

reply them to confirm the order

once dispatched, they shud send u an email with EMS tracking nbr

 

Thanks Kiongsm!

I think a couple of lads I used to work with started learning Japanese so might have to annoy one of them into doing me a favour and making sure I don't mess it up.

 

Hey everyone. First time posting, and I've got a question. My foot is a 26.9 length, but an E width. Any suggestions on a size for the X-Top? Also, Tenso is offering 50% off on int'l shipping. Cheers!

 

your have to go with the 27cm.

i actually buy another pair of x-top with this sale lol

 

Thanks! I found these beauties if you're a 27 cm or smaller. http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/fujispo/item/168682/

 

those aren't x-tops though...

 

Oh. Are they a takedown or a completely different model?

 

they are the take down model.

 

Good to know. Thanks for helping me avoid a regrettable purchase!

 

all good. ive never tried them on so i couldn't comment on them.

 

The pink one is X but not X-Top from what i know.

 

The fit between the X and X-Top is probably the same. I have recently bought a pair of X (in sky blue) . Despite they are made with SYN leather . The feel and the comfort is better than other SYN leather boots (exp . Adizero ) .

I'd say if you are interest in the Pathiqe series but you do not have enough budget , you could go for the SYN version first (which is MIJ too ) unless you are addicted to K-Leather.

Beside the use of material , IMO there's no huge different between the X and X-Top.

 

Anyone know if they will do a complete blackout in the wave ignitus 3?

 

They dont and they wont.

 

Noooooo why not?! They look lethal on soccerbible

 

Because the blackouts and the whiteouts were only made for the pros to test out the boots before release

 

hey, any1 has any experience with the puma para mexico classic?

fitting/sizing? say compared to Morelia II
durability?
comfort?

thanks!

 

Links don't work for me.

 

Hey Guys,

I am looking to order a pair of these Morelia 2's tomorrow (provided they are made in japan):
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/...18/?siteID=je6NUbpObpQ-w.mrEctOR2QPip0epeO5GQ

1. Anyone have any tips on ordering?
2. These are the notorious Made in Japan Morelias correct?
3. What's this I hear about AF version? Are they easy to find? similar price? worth the difference?
4. I'm shipping to Toronto, should I ship direct or use a forwarding service?

I measured my feet today and my left is approx. 27.5cm (slightly pushing) and my right is approx 26.5cm, so I'm guessing its best if buy them in 27.5cm as I hear they don't generally stretch (length-wise at least).

Looking forward to getting some decent cleats! Thanks in advance!!
