how can K-leather not be kangaroo leather :/ if its not an abbreviation for kangaroo, it seems like a lot of effort to deceive us...

 

I planned on a nice photo session today but it was cold and cloudy all weekend (as of 5 minutes ago its now bright and sunny) so the pics aren't what I hoped for. I'll post more in the pictures of your boots thread. I haven't had a chance to have a kick in them yet but that will happen this week and I'll report back on my thoughts. The inner frame thing is pretty interesting and I'm curious to see how much (if any) these things stretch.

 

Every review I've read (sr4y, footy boots, footy headlines) say that it's kangaroo leather as they all spell it out. As Alex said, seems like a lot of work to deceive us. I personally own a number of old kangaroo leather boots and these seem to look and feel the same. So I'll be sticking to my opinion unless proved otherwise by adidas.

 

Don't forget it's a split design, the inner side has fluo yellow

 

No it doesn't, I made them. I also opted for the blacked out the middle stripe.

 

I personally don't understand why anyone would get miadidas boots with the stripes a different colour to the base. Why would you want to promote a multinational company when you don't have to? I don't expect many people to agree but that's just how I see it.

 

I guess I'm a bit confused by this statement. How is buying the base color way not promoting the company?

 

I meant when the stripes are the same colour as the leather underneath (an option on miadidas). That hides the branding and makes it look sleeker imo.

 

but then it's not the design they want, which is why you'd get a miadidas boot. to get that, not to pay the company to hide the branding

 

That's what i'm saying, the design I would want is one that hides the stripes.

 

Thats fine and I like black out boots as well. But I wanted yellow so I did yellow. I guess the part that confused me was your point about supporting the company. If you buy boots from Nike, Adidas, or whoever you're going to be supporting them (even if they are blackouts).

 

I just feel like giving them my money is enough, I don't want to be a walking billboard for them too.

 

Ugh..why did Adidas have to mess up the current ones so much? They will probably fit/feel similarly, but they look hideous. Glad I picked up the white/lime green colorway that just came out.

 

Thought it the 11pro SL, it has the same colour.

This is my version, didn't go through the whole miAdidas stress:

 

Anybody in here knows why no pro's are wearing the core black/white/solar red instincts? Been watching a lot of last weeks soccergames and didn't spot any....

Many rich blue white solar green or the black running white infrared though.....

 

It's great that they offer blackout/whiteout (and other solid colour) so much so that I can't see why anyone would want to get three lines in a different colour. And the stripes are not on the sole they are on each side of the upper.

I suppose I just think boots should be plain and one colour, they are functional equipment so why would I want to show off that i'm wearing adidas? If you're walking around shoreditch in some gazelles then fine but who cares about fashion on a football pitch?

 

Because you can create a colourway of the gazelles on your boots, it's great

 

So for your clothes/cars/computers/everyday items that you use, do you just rip off the brand name/logo to stick it to the man?

 

If I was given the customisation option of removing the logo or making it as discrete as possible I would take up that option.

 

It worries me when I know more about boots that my uni course! Wouldn't change it for the world mind
