ozzy, those are beyond words. how much did you pick them up for and how the hell did you find a pair of those babies in such good condition?
They kind of are... I love three things in life... eBay, Tkmaxx and Puma V1.08's in K leather... I went to TKmaxx just now and I nearly cried with joy, sitting there, the last pair, my size, a pair of Puma V1.08's in leather. But the best bit, THEY WERE £20!!!!! Then, I get home, try them out as soon as I get back. OMG the boots are amazing. SO comfortable and like a sock in fitting, the leather is so soft and they are the cheapest but by far the best boots I have ever owned! They also are a sample pair, it says STAFF SAMPLE on the label and on the insole it says CONCEPT... I recommend those boots to anyone who plays football... Sorry, the pics are kinda bad but oh well http://s336.photobucket.com/albums/n322/t90ozzy/Puma V1 08 K leather/ Sam
Hey Ozzy Any Diference Between Leathe and Non Leather V108 ? becasue i have a pair of normal v108 whihc are too small now, but i could never adjust to the toe cap sadly.. im used to boots without this toe cap, i know wear adidas f50.9 and adipure most of the time... should i invest in some k leather v108s ? and how do they compare to f50.9 and vapor iv ?
I have the vapour IV, V1.08's and manias and I used to have the normal V1.08's... If you liked the normal V1.08's you will fall in love with the K version like I did. I love my vapours despite blisters but these K leather V1's are something else. It's really weird though, I run a size 9.5 in boots and V1's are meant to run small, then I go and find that a size 8 fits me really well in the K leather ones . They were a bit tight but they stretched out and they just feel like a sock. The toe box has given me no problems at all and I think you should definitely invest in a pair of the K leather ones. I ditched my Manias for them and my manias are brand new! I dont know what to do with my vapours, might keep them but I am definitely using the Puma's as main boots. there is nothing like them, well maybe adipures but I havent tried them. Sam
My new powerswerves and omni ball, and my sadly shirking collection. At this time last year, i had 6 pairs of laser 1s and a pair of absolutes. lost 3 pairs of the laser when i moved and haven't bought much since. from top left if you can't identify them your self: AZC II, Legends 1, Diadora maracana indoors, bottom right: MVIV w/ lace cover removed, F50.8 and of course the ps. favorite thing pictured is the Creighton Blue Jay Diadora ball on the bottom left of the balls. Missing from picture: White/blue Puma king XL and black/white legends 1
As promised here are some pictures of my charcoal/orange/silver mercurial veloci. http://i43.tinypic.com/5xq2i9.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/20itf2a.jpg What do you think?
Very nice boots mate! Shame they aren't the Vapours, but are you the guy who was going to customize them?
yea I was going to customize them but as i play rugby the vinyl would come of straight away. I wanted the vapors but as its half way through the season my dad wouldnt spend that much on boots.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but, I've got to say I like the Puma King XL more than my legends. I think they are going to be "basic k-leather boot" to practice in for now on. I can't judge if I like the powerswerves more than the IV's or F50.8's yet, seeing as I haven't played in them. I have a little patch of turf in my basement and I juggled in the swerves and they seemed pretty comfortable and the sizing was excellent. I do think adidas changed the type of leather they are using for the powerswerves. I tried on a 8 at my store in the black/red/white colorway and the shop owner said he had had them since they came out. The leather on those were much softer than the ones I got. I'll write a proper review for them after my session on monday.
They are the Vapours right? Not SLs, because in NikeTown yesterday I saw the Citron SLs in person and they are amazing, but shame the IV's lace cover is a different colour to the boot.
I love that colourway i was'nt sure whether to get them or the black ones myself but i thought the black were more practical.
Yeah they're the normal vaps. Just look at the insole to tell the difference, other than the heel and bottom of course
I find that all the lighter colour vapors tend to have a different colour lace cover. My orange ones are the same. appleCORR
