Adidas Tunit Thread (2), all Tunit posts here

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

ohmigod..this afternoon i went to the sporst store i frequent, looking for shinguards, and the tunits were there!!!! the blue yelow ones... so i tried them on, after reading all the stuff posted here about the boots, and they were my size, and ohmigod.. they fit like a dream!! haha i know my previous posts about testing out boots make me seem like all boots fit like a dream, but seriously!!!

and i was testing the whole tune-it thingy, and i dont realy c why people have a hard time screwing in the studs.. it was a piece of cake.. still doubtfu about the plastic wrench tho, but yea, i know my strength, so i shouldnt have any problems with it.. heheh

damn.. now i wish i had waited a bit before deciding on getting the absolutes, cos i couldve used the dosh to get the tunits.. but ohwell.. im happy with the abs..

might get them sometime in the future.. or i could wait till the white/blue come out..

*sigh*

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Just wanted to say that my White/Master Blue/Zenith Tunits will be here tomorrow, most likely! I checked the UPS order tracker and they were in the next state over (Mass.) around noon, so they might actually be closer by now. Best thing is, I ordered them only this weekend! I'll take some pictures and possibly write a mini-review when they arrive!

Cheers,

Bryan

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

ahhh i see, at first i thought it was cause they were too big but they arent worked in yet so my foot hasn't broken through yet...damn paddle feet lol

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if you remember, but about monday or so i posted that i had lost 3 studs and that my stud key had broke - i ordered a new stud key and set of HG studs - thats fine....

I then got my key, and went to put my FG studs in, only to find that one of the holes thread must have gone because none of the studs would screw in, just kept going round - took them back today and exchanged them so i'm kool with that...i still think there awsome boots so i got another pair - wish me luck with my new tunits and my 1st time upfront!! ARGH!

hehe

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Blastoff,

Just take you time this time around and make sure that you allow yourself plenty of time to get the studs in before a game. What i've found is if you over tighten the studs then the stud key actually flys off the stud it physically wont let you over tighten them. It just takes a bit of practice to get them in. May i suggest that you start with either the FG/SG studs to practice with at first because they seem to be the easiest ones to get in its the HG ones i find a take the most time as they are really short.

Good luck!

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

cheers for the advice Apple - i have just left the FG studs that come with the boot in this time (we've had a bit of rain, so it'll be a little wet out which is fine) and i jsut tightend them up, so with any luck, i'm good to go

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

same thing happened to me, no one to blame but myself they are siccccck boots for sure getting some red ones, and either white or neon yellow too! anyway anyone with previous f50s think that these are a little bigger feeling, maybe its just the toe box but they feel long around the toe and i bought the same size as my previous f50s and +s

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

hey guys...i just got my f50.6 tunits, but i have yet to use them. the reason is that im worried about being able to curve the ball, as that is a BIG part of my game. ive used predators for probably the last 5 years, and they obviously make curving the ball a synch. so do you know if putting bend on the ball will be just as easy w/ the tunits, or am i better off sticking w/ the preds? and also i was wondering about ball contact with the tunits. again this is my first time buying a covered-lace shoe. hows the contact on the ball? thanks!!

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Boots don't make you curl the ball any better or worse!

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

I pretty much agree with everything that you say there, the boots are sexy, and i notice that they feel bigger - and i do think it is the toe box, because the rest of the boot fits perfect and if i went down even half a size then they wouldn't fit me - i hope i get used to the toe box, ebcuse they are awsome boots

blastoff

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

yeh, i wore them last week for my game, the toe box felt a bit weird, but it was because i was used to the F50+ witht there narrow fit - i know i will get used to them, and i agree that it is not an issue really (even though it looks sortta like that's what i thought in my last post) just takes getting used to i think

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

thats true, but he's probably really used to the shape of the preds...he's probably really used to the shape and how he approaches the ball and crosses it. dunno if u get what i mean, but i can imagine crossing the ball with a toe box that is squarish is different than a flat boot such as the preds.

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

haha still tho.. a little piece of rubber do not make a ball curve that much more lol.

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

i didnt mean that the pred elements on the shoe made it easier to curve....i was going for more of what bronxjragon said...im used to the narrow-front shoe, where my toes are very close to the sides. the fornt of the tunits are definitely more squared off than the preds, but from the sounds of what you guys are saying, itll just take some getting used to. but what about contact on the ball...is there a more solid contact with the ball on a kanga leather, uncovered lace shoe than there is w/ the lace covered, synthetic tunits?? thanks again guys.

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

he never mentioned rubber elements fool

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Yea, that is exactly what I was thinking.
It's not really about the pred vamps or elements, but rather about the shape and fit of the boot.
For me, the shape of the predator line is perfect. Also, the F50+ was fine, besides it being abit narrow. For example, the Vapor, with its boxed toe, really doesn't suit me. The front is to high, and the sides do not have enough contact space.

I suppose the only way to find out is to try them, but why not just stick to the Preds? The Absolutes are probably the best boots I have ever worn, and if you are a fan of Preds, why not go with what you are happy with.

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

I dunno if the electricity yellow uppers are out or not but I saw a kid at footy on saturday who was on the pitch next to me and he had them, obviously from prodirect or somewhere with his name and number on the front. That's the first time Ive seen them up close and they are much different to in the pictures, alot brighter. They are on a par with the barca away kit, they would match perfectly - I still love em though, jsut havent got 85 quid.

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

I was actually looking at the PDS catalogue yesterday thinking 'who on Earth would wear them?' I was struggling to think up teams that wear yellow socks and have a player that would wear them. Diego Forlan for Vilarreal was the only one I could think of!

That said the white ones have really grown on me - as have the 7406 in black so I might just have to try them both on

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Well, I suppose their boots don't have to match their socks....but don't the Spuds have an ugly yellow away kit to match them?

I really am tempted to get a pair of F30.6, but the Predator series and leather really does it for me, so I can't see myself getting any...and as much as I like the looks of them, there is no way I am going to sacrifice any comfort or performance.

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Yeah we do but we never wear it. Good point though, I must be blocking that kit out of my memory like I do with our horrible blue one!

I'm just the sort of person that thinks boots matching the socks looks cool. And I think those yellow boots with any other colour of socks would look wrong.

 

Re: Adidas Tunit Thread, all Tunit posts go here.

Yes, I agree, especially white with white. The best I've seen was Henry with Blue Vapors with Arsenal's yellow/blue away kit in 2003/4.
I suppose Cashly Cole of Arsenal could wear them...if he is still at Arsenal by next season. Actually, now thinking, ther are alot of players in the Premiership that wear yellow.
