Ok since other absolutes are made from k-leather, absolions from calf leather, and absolados from some synthetic material...
I know the beckham absolutes are made from some special synthetics...but the absolions and absolados are made from synthetics also...are there any diffrence in the primary upper of these 3 models?

Yes, I have also wondered about this matter aswell.
I assume that the main differences are the weight differences and quality, like the difference between between Talaria upper and Vapor upper.
I actually think that the main difference between expensive and cheaper synthetic boots is the qualityand durability of the boots.

Sorry guys, Its hard for me to compare as I havent picked up a absolado or absolion and tried them as yet although I have seen them in the shops.
I have both versions of thebeckhams...SG and Fg and all I can say is that the synthetic material is of pretty good grade as compared to those of the lower grade shoes.
I have been looking forward to trying them in games but so far I have had alot of game cancellations in this part of the world due to rain so when the weather gets better, will let you know.
Also spoke to the guys sports store here in Singapore where I get my stuff and it seems that the next big release is the Nike Vapour iii and also predator absolutes black and gold.
Also adidas is also gearing up for MiAdidas versions of the aboslutes as soon as Feb?march 2006 so anyone thinking of customization, its great news!

I just remembered that when I touched the Beckham Absolute and the Absolado, the feel of them were very different.
The Absolado was hard and stiff and if you pushed it down, the upper was hard.
The Beckham Absolute was very soft and plush. It almost feels like Copa leather with a smooth shiny finish. It is by far the softest synthetic that I have ever felt.
The differences in synthetic upper is big, but then again no one is going to be choosing between Absolutes and Absolados.

I think the release date for these boots might have been held back in the UK until January 12th i havent seen them anywhere! But i did think it was a bit strange having them released on 1st of Jan when its a public holiday!! :confused:

Yea, I'm pretty confused about the whole release date matter.:confused:
South Africa is pretty slow to get the new boots, but the Beckham boots were released when the original Absolutes were released. They are also availible in Singapore.
Concerning the public holiday matter...why can't they be released on a public holiday. Are all the shops closed? In South Africa, the only public holiday that shops are closed is Christmas, and thats for only half a day! Some shops are open the whole Christmas!
