evening...

as we all know, everyone loves the accelerators....and we know that the fg version had black blades....but i just saw this pic of steffan effenberg on getty and am puzzled:

red blades? and the outside of the boot on the white adidas stripes there should be two or three bits of predator vamp, like on zidane's:

For some reason i couldnt get the pictures to work. But maybe they are like a sample pair when they were going from the accelerators to the precisions?? I remember becks having a pair of accelerators with the precision soles when united had the tour of South Africa in the world champions cup or whatever it was called. United missed out on the FA Cup comp and becks famously got sent off again!

Make you pictures work!!

Yea Becks gave everyone a good look at his soles when he studded dude on the knee straight in front of a camera!
Now that the pics are working, im pretty sure the're normal accelerator ligas, I may be wrong coz of the stud color, but the length looks right, and also I think the pred vamp is just hidden on effenberg as it's more on top of the foot than the side....
Edit: OK im not 100% sure, but could be...http://www.adipredweb.com/accel/blkred/accelblkredliga.htm

It looks to me like these studs are just a continuation of the lighter red sole. In this picture it looks like he has Accelerators but no elements.

My guess is that they are custom. It seems to me he was supposed to wear Preds but didn't like the rubber (and something about the sole?), so they made some changes for him.
