    Unless you find someone on here, eBay is the only place left and they're known to be expensive. They're called Nike Snap Studs if I recall correctly, and at the moment, I don't see any on the US eBay...

    Yeah they are definately called snap studs. The come on like a circular package. Have you got the too that snaps them out too?

    As for the stitching, if they are IDs then its probably in there pretty well, and you wouldn't be able to un-pick it or anything, so think you are pretty much stuck with it im afraid, you could always get a sharpe the same colour as the boot and just colour over it?

    Well I might get a pair of the Blaze Orange Vapor II SG from a friend for almost for free. He said he only used them twice, they are like new.

    Either I sell them, or I keep them for my own SG uses.


    I am not sure if he has the tool or not, are the studs even durable?

    Played another game in my legend elite IV, so so so comfy. Love the leather. They are holding up very well on 3G, which in know is bad, but we all do it.

    Only issue is... Need to clean all the black crap off them now

    Good luck with that. I wore white tiempos on turf and never really got the black colour off the boot, they kinda have a grey tinge to them now.

    commonly referred to as "Nike Crap" back in the day. They didn't fall out as much as Tunits did, but they weren't much better. Personally I'd buy them and flip them on eBay for some easy $$$

    LOL, something i dont understand, if your trying to sell fakes, why would you have a display of TWO left foot shoes (see the red vapors), i mean, if thats not a clear indication for people that your selling fakes, i dont know what is.

    I have been on a long, endless search for the perfect soccer socks (I am incredibly picky). I like a sock that is thicker on the bottom which i have found hard to locate with soccer socks. Therefore I used the cutt-off soccer method- I use a nike dri-fit basketball sock with a cuttoff soccer sock taped together:
    [​IMG]
    It is perfect for games, but for practice when we are constantly putting on and taking off shinguards it doesn't cut it. Therefore, I am looking for a soccer sock that is like a nike basketball dri-fit sock in the footbed (feels best with my cleats I have had surgeries too so it feels the best). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Try nike's player issue socks. You can easily find them on ebay for cheap.
    I bought 6 pairs of them(in one listing) for about $25 shipped to the US from UK.
    Considering a price of average price of soccer socks in the stores, these are even cheaper!
    Some of them were slightly used though(it was mentioned in the auction, and I knew).
    Out of 6 pairs, about 3 or 4 were used while 2 were new.

    These have very nice cushion underneath while not being too bulky.
    Upper part is thin relatively compared to other socks.
    They are thicker than Adidas' Elite series socks, which is the thinnest socks I've had.
    Material's so soft and feel very comfy.

    Wasn't sure where to put this but this seemed as good a place as any so...

    Just saw these on eBay...

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....85870857&category=19298&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

    ...figured at that price i may as well keep an eye on them, they look real to me even though the no box thing is often a bit dodgy. Then i clocked the high price for postage and thought there might be something a bit dodgy so i checked the guys other items.

    He's got another listing in Australia for some Laser IV, listed as US8 rather than UK7, which i'm guessing are the same boots. That listing is here...

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Nike-...ort_Soccer_Clothing_Boots&hash=item3a6fec75bf

    ... so now i'm a bit sceptical about it. The Australia listing has the boots starting at £100 as well where as the UK listing started at 5p.

    Anyone else think its a bit suspicious? I guess he's listed them on two places to see which one gets the best price but now its got me a bit worried that i might end up paying for something he hasn't got.

    I've messaged the guy on there about it and i'm going to keep watching but i'm not convinced its going to be worth my while now.

    Regarding those laser IVs, I would honestly pass on those boots. There are too many other options you can buy from than take a chance like that. But I would keep an eye on that auction.

    QUICK QUESTION:

    What are your opinions on the old Nike vapor V's? I'm looking at the Superfly 3 right now but something about the V's makes it so damn appealing haha. I like the stud pattern and the "old school" look it carries.

    Is it a boot that can compete in today's competition? (ie adizero/ modern vapors?) Thoughts?

    The price difference is strange, but i don't think the account should be suspicious, i think the seller may be a member of BS actually - he's put up that pair on swap shop before (**have a look at the other listed items)

    Vapor 5's were by far my favourite boots ever! Incredible boots, and lasted me almost 2 seasons, wore them to death.
