They are gorgeous. Love them.

Then again owls are colorblind.

robben_sneijder · Nov 20, 2011

then again it would probably also look sick on a Juve kit

I cant decide if i like the tbh, i just think Nike are starting to run out of ideas!

They did look good with the red Real Madrid kit though!

I hate the boots and the kits... can't get used to madrid in red...

David89 · Nov 20, 2011

Yeah Just looks like Liverpool with a bwin logo, all red or blue or even black and white adidas kits look so smart though

Keisuke Honda in his new signature Mizuno's.

Dat soleplate. Photos of the boots themselves over on Footy-Boots.

I know this is very off-topic, but on FIFA betting logos like Bwin, 32Red, Everest Poker etc. aren't on the kits. It's just blank. Anybody know why?

Your answer is in your question.
They are gambling/betting sites, something that is an age restricted product.

SindreV · Nov 22, 2011

Hm...I can undetstand why, but it's a waste since every single match that's shown on TV, is sponsored by a betting-company Also, im pretty sure they used to show the Carlsberg-logo on the Liverpool-shirts on the old versions of FIFA, when they still were Liverpool's main sponsor...

SilverXX · Nov 22, 2011

I'm pretty sure it's only the Norwegian or Scandinavian versions that have blank kits.

Which kinda annoys me...

colinstu310 · Nov 22, 2011

It will relate to the countries advertising laws on age restricted products like gambling & alcohol.
Different country versions of the game will have slight differences.

messi back in his old adizero's against milan

colinstu310 · Nov 24, 2011

here is your answer...http://www.soccerbible.com/news/boo...boot-insider-hulk-test-drives-new-mizuno.aspx

Dr. Boots · Nov 24, 2011

It seems to be the Neo; a closer look will confirm it.

This seems to confirm it:

thebigman · Nov 24, 2011

there should be more blakc boots, those are awesome!

SindreV · Nov 29, 2011

Way too few players has been wearing those..

ZuhairiAlves · Nov 29, 2011

Anyone had any idea what Ryan Giggs was wearing during Man u Vs Newcastle? Doesnt look like sprintfit lite.

Dr. Boots · Nov 29, 2011

Yeah, it is a white and red version of this http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/Prod...nd-Black-White-Gold-Football-Boots-12317.aspx

He is also sporting a white and blue pair in training pics. I would not count on them ever being released, RBK is in state of soccer flux, and I think they are just making shoes for Giggs and Casillas at this point to meet their end of the contract obligation.

robben_sneijder · Nov 29, 2011

i'm pretty sure those gold/black CTR's were only released as Trequartista's and not Maestri's that might explain why. and the fact they were for the Gold Cup so not many Europeans would opt for them

David89 · Nov 29, 2011

They were Ctr meastri, loads on eBay that are real and they were only a us only release

Shame as I think alot of peoplel else where would Have snapped them up

maze2daze11 · Nov 29, 2011

Yea the Gold/Black Maestri were released in the US for the Gold Cup. Landon Donovan and Giovanni Dos Santos were suppose to wear them but didn't because they were regular Maestri and not Elites.

It's more specifically illegal in France where alcohol and gambling advertising is illegal to advertise. Notice anytime Real play Lyon in France it's always with the blank shirt.

If they wanted them in Elite's they could have them; both players are big contracts for Nike and among the two best players in their respective nations. Nike will give them whatever they want. They weren't worn for personal reasons we will not know, but most likely because the players didn't want to get into a new boot when they had others broken in. Gio was actually wearing the original CTR design in blue for the Gold Cup.

I also think they were in PDS at one point, but most likely not a wide release in Europe.

Nope, they were CTR's; I have had them in my hands and can confirm it. They don't look as good in person as they do in photos. I doubt the Gold Cup association with them would prevent Europeans from buying them if they liked them. I think the issue was the release of other strong colors around the same time, like the super strong charcoal/white/red that Landon is still wearing.
