That seems to be the million dollar question at the moment lol. Personally, im picking up the white/blue colorway tomorrow, and the scuffs don't bother me so much. They are football boots after all.

I'm going all in on the white colorway aswell I just hope they don't look like they have been used for a whole season after only one use lol.

They appear thicker than the suede release versions. How thick/thin are these iDs?

I think they are pretty good so far; but the hype machine is rolling, even with usually impartial reviewers. The shoe has a ton of upside, and it is surely the best overall Vapor since the Vapor I or II (personally I thought the III was shit). My pending review at the relaunch of Dr. Boots will cover the negatives. They are not major, but they include the thickness of the upper being almost "too" thin when it comes to contact/protection; the outsole doesn't work on harder dirt (but it is fantastic on anything soft, including 3G, with no stud pressure experienced, even on the hard ground); and finally (this could be because I am not fully adjusted to the shoe) even though they appear to be "poured onto my feet" according to a teammate, I still feel like I am slipping around in them every now and then. I think it is down to the fact that most socks suck these days but if they can put a non-slip liner in the adiZero, they could have had one here.

Please don't suggest TruSox....I have a long standing personal beef with the owner/inventor; despite their seemingly useful nature I can't bring myself to put money in his pocket.

Is the upper thinner than any of the AdiZero synthetics? I actually love the AdiZero Prime upper because it's so thin. Surely it's not thinner than the prime or even the standard synthetics?

Ignoring durability, would you go with the AdiPowers or the VIIIs? just asking because then the AdiPowers came out, they were getting just as good reviews as the VIIIs (obviously things have changed).

Ok, which one of you guys stole Cristiano and Mesut's vapors?!?

I haven't had a pair of synthetic AdiZero's in hand in a while, but I would say they are comparable in terms of thickness. I told someone that the material on the Vapor feels like a pair of boardshorts/surf trunks (real ones for surfing, not a bathing suit).

I think the adiPower is a vastly different shoe, so it is hard to pick one vs. the other based on what they offer. I can say the Vapor was game ready out of the box, the adiPower was not. The Vapor has a better fit right away, but the adiPower breaks in very well.

I think the choice would come down to your desire for leather or synthetic. Personally at this point, I would go for the Vapor as I like the feel of shoe a lot, but if we are durability neutral, it is a close call.

I have both - I would say in terms of thickness, they're hard to compare - both hold a VERY thin upper, but the vapour's upper is far far softer than the adizero's - in fact its even softer than my leather ones, after breaking them in and playing a few games in them. Some people find the thin, soft upper on the vapor can be a bit too thin for shooting, and the adizero does have rubber areas on the boot which prevent that, in the form of the sprint frame.

regardless, if you want the MiCoach, which is arguably a gimmick - go with the adizeros, but the vapor blows the f50 out of the water with the sole palate and upper.

You, sir, just sold Nike another pair of VIIIs. ordered tonight. I was really torn between the colors, but ultimately went with the Mangos as I decided I should try to match our kits (orange and black)

All of them look classy, you got good taste. I'd pick the one that compliments your kit the best.
