    That's actualy kinda nice since you pay half the price for the same boot as adults.

    I grew out of juniors when I was 10 or 11, so I've been paying $200 for predators ever since.

    Quality-wise the adult sizes are superior to the Junior sizes. With adiPUREs, for example, the leather is a little softer and the overall build is better.

    Yeah, obviously, because they say that much, much more adults are going to pay £100+ for boots than children would so the build quality would be better.

    Hmm, how strange. Maybe he had been saying that they were GOING TO put them on general release. They had multiple pairs on display though, the same colorway in leather and synthetic.

    Yeah, if you mean white/black/navy/yellow ones, yes but I'm not sure how much they were.

    Do you think I could call Nike Town London and place an order and they ship it to me?

    emu- I doubt it.

    I'm pretty sure I just found the most bizarre boot-related video on YouTube:

    Onto other matters...

    Checked out Lillywhite's sale today. They have these:

    In SG, for £40, but they are missing the studs. To buy, or not to buy?

    In other news, they now have Red/Gold, Anth/Blue, Green/White and Orange/Blue Vapor IV's for £80, and Green/White and Orange/Blue SL's for £100.

    Definitely worth it. Think about the unfortunate people like me who don't have the opportunity to take advantage of such a great deal....

    I just e-mailed nike, here with some hope for clearing the mess.

    tl;dr:
    -Are the Vapor E8s k-leather or Teijin?
    -Why weren't Vapor SLs E8 and Laser II E8 sold to public?

    Edit: For having English as a second language, I'm so very much proud of my grammar(even though I left a "came" after Euro 2008)

    I know for sure the E8 vapors aren't leather, I emailed Nike a long time ago about that.

    And the lasers weren't sold to the public because of a manufacturing defect (the insoles were messed up). The SL's probably weren't sold because they would be very expensive, euros cost $25 more than normal editions so that would put the total at around $325 for a pair. Nike though there wouldn't be enough demmand for them.

    Here's the laser insole defect

    Why didn't you post their answer before? It would've stopped many drats from happening.

    When?


    I've been posting it for a long time now, figured everyone's done asking because you can't find any of the shoes in stores anymore

    I heard about the Laser problem before, also someone else posted pictures of his pair(I think it was Naruto16), pointing out some weird stuff about the shotshield, and how it's glued to the upper.
