I also have to comment on the Nemeziz 18.1. Huge improvement over the 17.1 in terms of stability and lockdown, but same “airy” and bulky feel at the toebox even in the correct size. Also did anyone notice the Nemeziz 18.2 silhouette actually resembles the Nemeziz 17.1?
There’s a chance yoy might like the regular synthetic ones! I think the best part about the Preds is that the lockdown at the heel and midfoot feel fantastic (little on the narrow side) but then it gets more volume by the toebox, both sideways and up and down (if you know what I mean by those directions).
ah okay i got ya. still, leather is always a plus-point for me lol. My problem with the recent synthetic boots i've bought (like the X18+) was that somehow the forefoot fit okay, but my little toe just killed me. also the X18+ just totally overstretched on the midfoot, really annoying.
I understand! The last synthetic boots I wore were the MIJ Monarcida Neo 2s and as with most synthetics the outer side of my feet go numb because of how tight they are. Have you tried the Nemeziz 18+? Hands down the best laceless silo. I might even get that as my next pair. Crazy.
any advise on the sizing/fitting of the adidas predator accelerator 2018 remake? can follow copa 17.1 size? thanks!
the yellow ones felt a little bit roomier in the toe box than the predator precisions did. i had US9.5s in both. i wear US10s in morelia 2s and tiempo 7s. i haven't worn the copas. i would go a half size down from your true size.
i'm a uk6.5 in the morelia 2s so, a uk6.5 in the upcoming accelerator remake (black/white/red)? thanks!
I'm looking to purchase a pair of the Copa Gloro 17 in the white/silver/red colourway (https://www.prodirectsoccer.com/pro...-Ground-White-Silver-Metallic-Red-188488.aspx), just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on sizing? I wore a UK9 in the Vapor X and UK8.5 in the Tiempo Legend VI so if anyone has owned those and the Copa Gloro 17 any help would be appreciated. Cheers!
man, i don't know. the US9.5 precisions fit me perfectly, just like my US10 morelia 2s. my US9.5 accelerators felt a little bit bigger than the precisions. i didn't try a US9 in the accelerators, but i would think going down another half size would have been too tight. i don't know how the UK sizes compare to US sizes and whether it's a straight full size difference. i want to say i've read that there is a little bit of weirdness in adidas' US/UK size conversion?
thanks man, your adidas us9.5 is = uk9.0 which is your morelia 2 us10 i supposed with the rubber fins/panels in the accelerator, stretching would be minimal
Is anyone interested in Predator Accelerator 1998 remake? Released this morning and already sold out. I have a size 9 UK if anyone wants message me.
I found the new Predator, X & Nemeziz in some shopping website for 39$ each. I don't know if it's legit. https://www.mofyy.com/products/predator-football-soccer-cleats-boots anyone can confirm?
I have high praises for the Nemeziz 18.1. Tight- but not too tight. Responsive- reminds me of the Hypervenom Phantom 3 and is quite possibly the most responsive adidas silo right now. Even better than the X 18.1. Padded- highly subjective aspect; I like a padded feel more. The toebox is similar to the ‘airy’ toebox feel of the Purespeeds. Aggressive traction- why most pros who wear the Nemeziz don’t use metal studs. It’s long enough for SG but not too long for AG (in my experience). Agility Bandage all around- adidas actually addressed the weakness of the previous 17.1 by wrapping the entire midfood in the bandage material. The upper is not slick as it appears- it has a ‘wet paint’ feel where it adds a little bit of stickiness between the boot and the ball. Without dust, the upper and the ball actually make a squeaking sound when rubbed against each other. It took me half an hour to break them in, and I did not experience heel blisters. You could actually wear them laceless, that’s how tight they feel pre-lacing up.
It has the same airy feel but the Purespeed upper is definitely thinner and more pliable. I’d say probably 50-75% thinner. Compared to the X 17+, the only difference the Nemeziz 18.1 has is that it has more aggressive traction and the heel lockdown, albeit the same, is less restrictive on the Nemeziz because the Purespeeds have those rubber dots that sometimes make me feel i’m about to get blister hotspots.
Guys, anyone tried Copa Gloro 17? How is it? and How is the sizing compared to : Umbro Speciali Eternal Adidas Kaiser 5 Liga
Hi there folks, Not been on here in years!! Still going strong I see & a few of the same names still kicking abt.... Anyway, quick Q here, and Apple plz move if I’m in the wrong thread, no longer playing & came across these in a cupboard. Was going 2 put them on eBay but wasn’t sure of a value or whether they would be worth a high start bid. Not exactly the rarest but still in good nick & bit if nostalgia maybe if anything. Let me know what you think plz & feel free to make an offer
Not sure about the exact details of this specific LZ 2 you got here but I often visit ebay for brand new old boots and I see these go for $80-100. Hope this helps!
Anyone else really, really excited for the new Copa? Looks like Adidas might actually get it right this time. The lack of tongue is the only downside for me...
I just sort of think when it comes to the Copa If it ain’t broke don’t fix it - it’s an iconic boot and I think it should stay the same with maybe different colours thrown into the mix. You are either a fan of the boot or you aren’t. But I always think there will be a market for the more ‘classic’ boots. appleCORR
I'm always against collared and laceless boots and especially when it come to an iconic boot, so I'm obviously pissed-off by the decision of making a laceless high-cut Copa. As for the regular version, we still don't have clear pictures but if it's just an other Tiempo with Flyknit's equivalent tongue, then shame on you adidas. It's always adidas trying to surpass Nike in terms of marketing, Nike are the ones who come up with useless gimmicks, so adidas and the others follow and try to make their special touch. This time adidas even went far and made a leather heritage boot with collar and laceless. Those stupid trends bring a ton of money unfortunately just because these brands have players wear such boots to hijack the customers taste. The good news, at least, is that they still produce Copa Mundial, Premier, Gloro, ... And we still have Mizuno didn't join this madness.
Though I love the Nemeziz 18.1 and is my main boot at the moment (will change very soon though), I have to agree that what adidas is doing is focusing on the ‘wow’ factor more than anything else. Nike does come up with a few major gimmicks here and there, but for some reason they always seem to pull it off. The dynamic fit collar looked silly at first, but look where we are now. The Phantom VSN looks like it came right off of Marty McFly’s feet, but surprise surprise it’s actually an excellent performer. As with anything like fashion or technology, there will always be a trend in football boots. Remember when the tongue was a thing? That was also a trend. As with the next-gen Copa, I believe it’ll be nothing more than a mediocre ‘modern’ take of the classic Mundial. If one wants such a boot, there is always the Premier and the Morelia 2.
