A few days ago, I went to adidas store and I saw some adidas new soccer shoes there.

I've tried both Beckhams' pulse A3 and pulsion turf. Once I compared between the SG/FG leather and the a3 it was really disappointing. :( I can say that the leather of pulsion turf is nicer than the a3. :confused: Furthermore, the feeling of polsion SG/FG was also much better than both A3 and pulsion turf.

I also tried the F50+ FG. I was very cool :cool: and I really loved the feeling of the forefoot's leather.

My question is: does the F50+ A3 has the same nice leather of the SF/FG or it's also disappointing?

I had a pair of the first f50 a3 in the white/blue, and the leather seemed to be the same as my f50 fg. I can't imagine they'd use a different leather for the a3 than the FG models. The original a3 I had took 1 game to break in also, they were soft almost immediately. After that I only wore them casually. Seems weird they would use 2 different leathers.

if their is a reason, all i can think of is that the A3's arent blown K-leather but that probably isnt true because it says on websites it is so i have no idea :confused: :)

I had a pair of the F50 a3 and I am pretty certain that the tag with the shoe said that the upper is blown K leather.

PDS might not be the best source to get boot material info, coz they have got a couple wrong before.

With the a3 cleats you really have to break them in before making a judgement. When I got my a3 cleats I hated them because I couldnt get a good touch on the ball, they were hurting my ankles, etc. However once they broke in they were awesome. Definitely the best turf cleats I've worn in a long time. 2nd only to the mania turfs.

Here's what I found in adidas US web store:

Both SG and A3 are described that they are made up with (Blown Kangaroo leather), but as seen in the pictures, they don’t look alike.

I dunno the difference between K-leather and BLOWN :confused: K-leather, but the leather on the SG looked nicer. They now have those F50+A3's in SPORTSOCCER (UK). :)
Couldn't find a price on them though. They do look really comfy.

BLOWN K leather is pre-stretched i think but im not sure :)
