hi guys. just thought i'd ask to see who is all thinking of getting the absolutes and in what colour etc, or if any of you have actually pre-ordered them? i got through my prodirectsoccer magazine today. i really like the absolutes now and i think i am defo going to get a pair. i have no idea what colour to get though? i really like the beckham ones cause there red lol. i think i will have to wait to try them on though because im not sure what size i will need, either 11 or 12.
hope to hear from you guys soon.

Im thinking of getting the beckham sythetic ones because i would like to try synthetic preds but the only thing that ruins them 4 me is that they are worn by beckham :mad:

Oh, I thought the Beckham ones are going to be released on 18/11. I guess justsocca.com is wrong then.
I'll never go back to K leather predators, after returning 4 pairs of Pulses... :mad:

I pre ordered the Black/red/white original colourway from PDS, the Pro Pack with the free round clip in XTRX studs, etc. I went for a UK 10 cos although i wear a Pulse in a 10.5 i tried on my mates Aveiro 2s the other day in a UK 10 and they were perfect, they'll always give a little bit anyway. Couldn't resist, can't wait for them.
PS. get the orginal colourway, always look the best, easier to clean than white and gold, and not as flash, without looking boring :D

I agree with basically everybody on this thread. :p
1. Justsocca must have lied, but I saw the release date for the beckham's as 18/11 too.
2. I also prefer the black originals to any other colour.
3. I was also gonna buy custom legends in blue / yellow.
4. Can't work out why people like synthetics so much, although I do love vapors.
weird :confused:

I think that people want to try out the synthetics since the durability of the k leather pulses was crap.

Why not?? Why do you like leather so much? And honestly, who cares???? Ultimately It comes down to personal preference. (I've already posted my 28 cents worth about synthetics & cellerators)

Just do search for or posts by me. I've ranted about the Cellerators many a time, I'm sure no one wants to hear about them again...

I pre-ordered mine a week ago, i decided to go for the Black/Red/White origional colourway but as a pro pack. The pro pack is basically the Absolutes, Adidas ankle guards and those studs that fit in the bladed brackets on the soleplate. I also got them personalised. I decided that i would go for a UK9 due to the fact that i got a 10 in my last Pulses and every other time i kicked the ball, the end of the toe box kept slightly dragging across the grass due to how long they were!. All the leather at the front wore away and i had to chuck them after about 10 wears. But i cannot wait for these Abolutes and will certainly look forward to the comparison that they have with my Nike Vapors, Adidas F50+, Total 90 AZT III and most of all, i cant wait to see how they compare with my Predator Pulses. I will give pictures and updates when they arrive. Cheers
