Nike Thread [17] - All Nike, pictures, info, questions here!

Cheers for that response JC. I think I'll have to give them a miss, as I've never been one to use a solely bladed stud pattern, in fact looking back I believe the only time I did was when I was in a pair of fiery red f30.7s, which I adored!

I've been in adizeros since they were released, and they've served me well, durability problems aside. I can't help thinking however that I'm really missing out on some wonderful boots while I stay within my comfort zone. The LZs are really great as well; I came into a pair through my club, and the blackouts could end up a sneaky second pair as well!

I play on turf almost exclusively, with the odd match on premium-grade grass. After reading what everyone has to say, with special attention on your exemplary knowledge on the subject, its' come to the point where I must step back and ask myself if I could be doing more to look after myself with my footwear choices. A few months back you talked about the kinetic benefits of a flexible soleplate, a la the mizuno morelia japan model, and that has stuck with me in my perpetual search for the 'right' boot. It's a case of a loss of blissful ignorance I think, but at the end of the day the educated boot buyer will be the best off.

 

After wearing some CTR Maestri II Elites at Dallas Cup that Nike had for check out, I knew I was going to eventually get some CTRs. The fit was great and they felt amazing, and I was impressed by the touch of the Kanga Lite. And since they were the Elites, they were insanely light.

So I just recently broke down and bought some Trequarista III AGs for indoor and some Maestri II FGs for outdoor from Eurosport. I haven't played in the FGs much, but I've used the AGs for a couple of games now. After first use my feet were insanely sore in the morning. My heels and soles were in really bad shape, and my right foot was swollen and hurt so bad I could barely walk. Has anyone else had this similar issue?

I feel like a sole change may help. Even though the initial fit felt great I think that once slightly broken in the they were just not providing enough arch support. I've never had this problem with any boots before.

 

I don't know if this is exactly the way you mean it, but a lot of times I do wish I could go back to the days when I didn't care much about boots. Much simpler (and cheaper) times.

 

That is exactly how I meant it haha can't help but overthink it now!

 

the understanding of bare feet running and basic biomechanics go a long way.

@dr.boots hope rehab is going well. did you try any of the stuff i sent you? im out for 2 weeks with a grade 1 pulled hamstring.

i have to say im liking the look of the new venom but considering i just a new pair of morelia II si japan im in no rush at all to pick up any boots

 

Ok, so i have a pair of vapor 8's in the white/blue (launch colour), and they have all the common problems that were associated with the early 8's. I recently used my nike voucher so I have no vouchers to my name. I delayed sending them back earlier because of my old voucher i hadnt used yet, but like i said now i have used it im planning on sending them back to nike. My question is; Is it a problem if i send back more than one pair of boots to nike under the same email address? Or should i just send the boots back to the nike returns office in sunderland without bothering to email them?

If you email them they tell you to send them back to the place where you bought them from, but i didnt buy them so i dont know where they are from. I didnt buy my old boots that got the voucher but they let me send them to the place in sunderland. What do you think i should do? I can post pictures of the problems with my boots if necessary?

 

Does anyone know where I can find these, or if it's even possible to find them in size 44 (EU)? Seems like they are nowhere to be found, and I would think it's because they are "old"...

 

I think it's because Nike have stopped the elites, more than the fact they are 'old'.

 

I see. Are they still producing that colorway in the normal Tiempo, and not elite?

 

i had a cyst on right knee and had it drained my my physio, never looked back. you will get muscle wastage of you quads which is normal but maintaining rehab will get size back. it can take a while all depends on injury and person. if they can avoid removing anymore of your meniscus then i would ask them not to as it doesnt grow back once gone it gone forever. make sure before you go under the knife you tell them what u what and dont want them to do.

hamstring is soso. went track today to do rehab runs and felt ok but after feels sore as hell. i had four injections in it and maybe more tomo when i see my physio. performing on a torn hamstring isnt nice at all.

 

Did you ever see Lady in the Water? You sound like that dude who only worked out 1 side of his body

 

White Tiempos are pretty scarce nowadays which leads me to believe they are no long in production.

 

Wow, that's an amazing amount for single leg presses after an injury. My quads are both 24.5 inches, and I can squat one rep max around about 80kg. Which translates to around 150lbs right? I need to seriously strengthen my legs because I can bench body weight (granted nothing special but it's okay at my age) and do heavy pull-ups (with weights of around 25kg) but my legs are nowhere near as strong as yours.

What sort of routine do you do?

 

I've got to say that for a while Adidas was taking it to Nike in regards to the new color launches but both the 2 new tiempo and laser releases look good IMO.

 

Just got back from the Nike outlet and picked up some Leather Gatos in the black/orange (looks red to me) colorway for $37 after discounts. They also had Legends in black/red for $60 and it took everything in me not to pull the trigger. They were size 9 and fit well enough but an 8.5 would've been ideal. I knew that I would never be truly happy with them knowing an 8.5 would fit better so I refrained. Plus, I have too many black boots already. If they were white or blue I would have maybe done it.

 

As i predicted, had my ACC vapors for around... 12 days now, playing every day, and they broke. Bye bye stud oh well, refund time.

 

One of the back studs, right? I've seen that a lot. Having only two heel studs probably just puts too much pressure on them.

 

12 days????????

 

Yeh same for me, my back stud snapped off first time i used them, but since they were my only boots at the time ive continued to wear them. I have however slipped countless times thanks to the lack of stud and english playing fields

 

no which is weird, it was one of the side studs, must be because i have wide feet, stepovers probally put massive pressure on the outsole

 

Stepovers - pah!
