No, they're the maroon XL's. They were like $20 more than the black/gold/white versions.
I was asking cause I was looking through my friend's Eurosport and I saw a new color for the XL Gold/black the look so sweet:D

the new color of V1.08s... more like cactus talarias that we saw like months ago. and those konstructs look way to much like laser 2's for me

Those supposed Konstrukt III's look like mash-up gone wrong of Konstrukt I/II's, Laser II's, and King Exec.

That stuff on those vkons looks kinda suede-ish. Looks like it would get pretty dirty if you played in mud or something. And it does look pretty similar to lasers.

SEE!!!
This is what I'm talking about...
I thought that the previous models were heavy but the box they come in says 10KG!
Tons of extras perhaps? :D
I am joking by the way :p

Nope, but the King Execs did.

the current Konstructs don't have a tongue strap, the tongue on them is short and on an angle (I cut mine off), as someone mentioned before the instep looks almost suede, I'm not sure how I feel about that considering how much I love the current version.

I really doubt that's the final product though... that design just looks terrible.

they look like they have too much material and the touch would feel awkward

It's been raining here so I haven't had a chance to wear them yet but out of the box, they're awesome. Lighter and less bulky than they appear and they fit true to size, if not a hair wide in the heel. Leather is top notch in appearance but will certainly need some breaking in. I'll get two games in this weekend, weather permitting so I'll get a better read on touch, etc. then. Just a really classy, first class shoe. Comes with a leather-like shoe bag and care kit and a nice little book with some puma/Eusebio history.
I went into the local Soccer Post and tried a pair of these on. They look fantastic, but they do not fit true to traditional Puma King sizing. They are a full size small. I have been wearing the Kings in some form or another since 1977. I currently have a pair of the KSLs, the King Allaround Turfs and the King Classics. I wear a size 9 in each but these I need a 10. Very strange, although I have no idea how this fits with the sizing for the rest of the Puma shoe line. The rest of you would know better. The K leather is soft, and not too heavy. I should have them game tested by the end of the month. I'll report then. Too early to tell if they are bit more narrow. The old King line was quite wide, and I have an 8 1/2 EEE foot.

Man that is ugly, what was wrong with the old konstrukt II looks? Puma is going overboard with trying to look different.
