Take it you and Gilberto are the same size then! I think I would actually wear the boots if I bought them, to quote Forrest Gump again, "they would be my magic shoes"

Re: Professional Players' Custom or Match Worn Boots

I know the feeling, there were some v1's on eBay that I bid on and missed out on by 50 measly pence...they went for £22 in the end, brand new as well. The annoyance was up to maximum level.

Speaking of eBay, it makes me laugh sometimes how people lie to sell their products. Remember this top:

The seller claims that this is a player issue top. Now I know for a FACT that this shirt when worn featured the dual-layer technology, IE the pre-pro vent mesh vest that was inside the top, and was cut out by most kit men as the players hated it. I asked the seller to confirm that the top featured this, and he came up with some BS that the top was manufactured when Nike were changing over from dual layer technology to cool motion technology. What made me laugh is that they are ONE AND THE SAME. I told him several times he is selling the top under false pretences but he can't accept he is wrong. The sad thing is someone will actually go out and pay the £30 for something that isn't correct.

Re: Professional Players' Custom or Match Worn Boots

Well how about this - I bought a shirt and it never came, so i messaged the seller and he never contacted me so after 5 days I gave him a neg. rep. He veventually refunded me but has given me neg. rep saying that I should have sent him a message first. I haven't done much on ebay so now my rating is like 89%. What a tw@t!

Re: Professional Players' Custom or Match Worn Boots

I know, I really don't understand why people would do that. I got two negative reps. Firstly, I paid for express shipping for something and it took seven days to arrive because the guy sent it by regular post (and took my money for express shipping). I neg repped him and he repped me back saying that I was stupid for giving him negative rep for no reason (!). The second guy sold me a CD that said nothing about being a cheap copy he did on the computer, he said it was authentic. I messaged him and didn't get a reply, so I neg repped him and he neg repped me back saying I should address the issue (the issue being that he was a liar for saying the CD was authentic).

My rep is like 98% because I've done like 70 transactions but it's still annoying that I was neg repped twice for no reason.

Re: Professional Players' Custom or Match Worn Boots

it would have been pretty cool to see adidas release those f50 all leather like the pros are sporting.

Re: Professional Players' Custom or Match Worn Boots

Yep, i reckon so. I wonder why the pro's ones are all leather

Re: Professional Players' Custom or Match Worn Boots

For one its easier to custom fit leather and synthetic than mesh and the there is less water absorbsion with the leather. Also a lot of pros grew up playing in all leather boots and still swear by them so they often prefer the touch and feel of leather as to mesh.

Many of the gimmmicks that are sold to us don't fly with the pro players that know they are bullsh*t and they just agree to wear the brand that pays the most and get their boots made to measure and with the features they desire.

Sheva when he was wearing Mizuno had his Shinkens mad of all leather, they had no rubber pannels on them. He wore a blacked out pair of Morelia Waves when testing the boots and then just had Waves mocked up like the Shinkens.

I wonder if some of the Puma sponsored players that wear V1's actually have them made of leather or some other material.

R & W I don't think so cause you see the white v1's all dirty, but I have seen some players especially here in MLS play in the Leather v1's...

Crouch's black V1's looked like they were leather well before the K-Leather model was launched in the UK, you could kind of tell by the way the creases in the boot fold, at least that is what I thought. Freddy Lunjberg also looks to have at least one or two pairs of the red model that are leather as well as sporting that foldover tounge thing he has. Many of the players also don't have the very pointed toebox that the retail ones have. I saw Pires's on ebay one time, they had a rounded toe box and regular screw in bottoms but were the synthetic.

Re: Professional Players' Custom or Match Worn Boots

I was thinking, I might try putting spikes (a la MVIII) on my Vapor II's. I have a couple of SG pairs which I don't use so I will try it on those. Any idea what the best way to go about it is?
