Player Spotting [9] - post pic/info of players in new boots gear!

Cool to see the Bradley thing is official. I've always had a soft spot for Puma, and it's a brand you don't see too much on American players.

 

Puma recently signed a bunch of USWNT U-23s. So it seems they are making a new push into the US.

 

About Bradley... is he an evospeed face? Not for me...
He's more a King player... the silo that's falling down...he could rescue it...
He's first an EVOPower player than a EVOSpeed player...
IMO

 

+1 to that. Even then skins and body science seem to make a pretty decent dent in the market over anything, but im not that involved with the clothing. its a shame cause i have a few pairs of the UA half tights and rate them really highly

He scored too!

 

They have apparently been eating away at Nike's dominance in the sports apparel market quite a bit. I do know they do more sales than adidas does in the US (overall not just footy)

 

I would say that at a glance Australia's overall sportswear/activewear is dominated by Nike and Adidas. I'd say between the two they would easily eat into 50% of the market.

Asics and new balance are quite well represented in shoes but not quite as much in apparel with Puma being on the lower end of that.

After that I think is where UA and smaller brands will fit in, including your lorna James, lululemon etc.

 

to be fair, with the evopower Leather variations, I think few people would wanna look at the Kings, sadly.

 

Bradley or anyone else would look awsome in these



It is sad to see few pros wearing these.

Long live the King

 

Is the current king any good?

 

oh please, not the terrible current iteration of it.




this one though... (made in Japan too!)

or this

 

I have to say that I'm a hue puma King fan but would not recommend the current model. You can do much better if you are looking for a heritage (this one has modern touches to it) type cleat. One of the biggest issues for me is that they are poorly made and I experienced tears and separation after one light session.
I would go for the Nike Legend or Premier. Just my 2 cents

 

Just to add onto that from an Aus perspective, UA have actually taken up quite a bit of shelf space in this seasons latest offerings at my local sport store! Shoes, clothing etc. Definitely much more than in previous years! I'd argue that they are nearly pushing Puma for third place in terms of overall in my area. They've certainly drawn my interest for their shoes.

 

we need our own aussie boot thread, talk about rugby league players, afl, a league etc @Pangu @AdidasPredatorMANIAC

They did a full breakdown of the next gen mercurial, if you are interested.

 

That certainly is a full breakdown! Seemingly not much has changed.
