    How do you tell Bosnian/ Italian ones apart?

    Yes, I've seen quite a few AG mid-cut models from Europe. It's VERY hard to find AG for the European Legend/Vapor/Opus though. Generally for MiE(made in Europe), ebay.com has the best selection for AG, and ebay.uk for FG.
    I assume you're asking how can you tell a a MiE Nike from an Asian one and not an Italian from a Bosnian one. Well, it takes a bit of experience tbh. Here's some things I've noticed and you can always ask the seller if you're not sure:

    1. New MiE models will have tissue inside the boot instead of cardboard(asia). (I'm not sure about the mid-cut models because the collar hides the inside)
    2. The Vapor X and Legend 6 will have their size tag glued on the inside heel, while the MiA(made in Asia) will have it stitched further into the boot at an angle.

    Look at this listing of a MiB Legend 6. The box obviously gives it away in this one, but we'll use it as practice. The 2nd pic shows the size tag, and the 3rd the tissue.
    Its Asian counterpart: 1st pic: no size tag on inside heel. Last pic: cardboard
    Edit: the 1st pic shows the outside heel, not inside, sorry. The cardboard still gives it away though.

    That should get you on your way for now, and there are of course more differences. Note, I'm only familiar with a few models, because I don't look at boots I'm not interested in(Magista, Hypervenom). If you've noticed other things to differentiate between MiA and MiE, please share!

    ah, damn. Well. If you see any US9 Vapor AGs or US9.5 Legend 6's do lemme know please!

    the quality of the europe ones and vietnam ones are really light and day for me. Had a pair of the Bosnia FG Magistas and they broke in beautifully in 2 20 min wears around my office, never had any blisters with them. Pity the FG felt too long for AG or HG for me.

    The Vietnam AG Techcraft ones that I got on the other hand... took me 5 days of 20 min sessions of walking around plsu 1 training session before i was able to bring them into a game, and still got blisters. dammit.

    In the first tech craft pack, the superfly and phantom were both MiB and came in AG, so if you're looking for a replacement I think those are good options. However, I don't think the phantom in leather was received too well on this board.
    As for the Legend and Vapor X in AG, I've been looking for MiE versions of those for a LOOONG time. I saw a pair of Legend V that were MiI, but they were like size 14 or something. For the Vapor X, I haven't seen a single pair. The volt colorway(highlighter pack?) of the Vapor X was MiI, but I guess they didn't make an AG version for that colorway :(

    The tag on the inside of the boot says Made in _____. This will be your best indicator on eBay or a similar place as they are visually the same in nearly every detail other than some very subtle differences. I have some Legend 4's in AG from Bosnia and they are also a tad longer in the lasting than the Asian 4 Fg that I have. Additionally the heel counter is stronger and more robust, along with the lasting be generally more accommodating over all.

    It's easier to create a distressed look on fabric and wave vs. damaging the integrity of the leather hide is my guess.

    Has anyone here with really wide feet worn nike premier fg? How did you like them? The shape of the premier looks kinda narrow.

    Not a huge fan of the 'anti clog' logo on the upcoming boots.

    I'm assuming that the logo is just for these boots and not for future releases.

    Just a pair of the, soon to be released, Superfly V yesterday.



    The DynamicFit Collar seems to be slightly higher than on the Superfly IV. The soleplate definitely looks cheap, and I am not saying this because of it isn't carbon fibre. It just looks like something from a children's toy. Fit wise, it is a very one to one feel. Because of the horizontal knit pattern, when you pull the laces tight, it literally wraps around your foot. It actually alters the shape of the boot. That's how closely they fit to your feet.

    I have not played in them, and I'm not sure if I even want to. Just from them being in hand and trying them on around the house, I would rather be in the Superfly IV. Things could change though. Maybe I'll wear them in a training session or two just to say that I gave them a proper chance.

    I love them - not surprised they are going to be limited edition though. 3,000 made. Who's going to try & cop a pair?

    I'm in two minds at this stage. Would certainly look good in the man cave and I've worn Mercurials since I've been playing it would be a nice memorabilia memento. But with the new SF/Vapor just around the corner also, $350+ AUD is a lot of coin..
    I know some people say 'boots are made for playing' but they are an incredibly loud colour.
    Wonder what time the app allows people to buy them. It says May 5th, but since I'm in Aus would that be our time (several hours ahead of other countries?). I don't normally order from the app and have never bothered to try for a limited ed release before..

    Will most likely miss out and see several on Ebay for a 100% mark up which is a shame.

    so, someone on the chinese forums managed to pick up some of the Hypervenom 1 upper Hypervenom 2 (quite the mouthful, whew). Translating some of the more relevant thoughts here. all credits to the guy here - http://bbs.enjoyz.com/thread-1221830-1-1.html

    hopefully stuff here doesn't get stolen aha

    [​IMG]

    the inside of the upper seems to have been slightly modified, there's an extra layer, possibly to help with connecting the dynamic fit collar.

    [​IMG]


    When you feel the new Hypervenom 2's, you feel the difference between it and the older upper of the Hypervenom 2. Its alot softer and flexible, perhaps a little too flexible for some in comparison.

    [​IMG]


    comparisons between the Hypervenom 1 and 2, height of the toebox is pretty much the same, but its perhaps a little more rounded on the 2's whereas the 1's were abit flatter. For players with thicker toenails or if your toes naturally curve upwards slightly (might be slightly lost in translation here), you might have felt a little squashed in the Hypervenom 1's, but definitely not in the hypervenom 2's. fits true to size.

    Fit of the boot is great, combination of flywire and Nikeskin definitely provides unparalleled comfort, even in comparison to the Superfly 4's, which has a similar set up.

    [​IMG]


    He doesn't have much on feet experience to share mainly as he's injured and only played as a keeper. Quick summary is that the extra layer makes it not as soft as the Hypervenom 1's, but sitll pretty good and comfortable,

    Hello guys, first time posting. I am on the lookout for the Hypervenom 1 Phantom, in size 42/42.5 (= 7.5/8 uk=8.5/9 us) and in any coulour. My old ones that I've been using for 2 years now basically fell apart like a month ago. However I can't the Hypervenom 1 anywhere. I live in Sweden and their ain't any local shop here with them, and I also can't find them online. They are basically the only shoe that I really like, I got the Vapor X from my club and tried them for some training ssessions but they are too narrow for me, the Magista is ok but I dislike the collar, Hypervenom 2 is a joke and there aren't any Adidas shoes that I like, except for maybe the x15.1, but they are too heavy IMO.

    Pls help me find some place where I can purchase the Hypervenom 1, would very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    My experience has been 10:00 am Eastern Time Zone though the BHM came out about 45-50 minutes late IIRC which set everyone into a lather.
