Adidas Thread [10] - all info, pics, questions here

Yeah, I agree Mercurial. I'd buy them. I get the impression that these are going to be really fantastic performance boots, definitely more excited for these than CTR IIIs.

 

Ill be getting a pair as soon as they come out, my newest adiPowers have the paint peeling off along with some sole seperation.

 

Those rubber ribs remind me of the old Nike Laser/90s(?) circa 2007ish

F50>whatever that is

 

i wonder if the highlighted ribs will change after the two games kaka has worn them onto another part of the zones and then another high profile pred wearer wears that boot with the different zone and then so on till the 5 zones have been highlighted? just an idea of where adidas's marketing could go.

 

must admit i do like where Adidas is going with the marketing of this boot, quite smart.

 

It's great if adidas can learn how to put colors together, but there was someone on here who had tested the LZ's and was not impressed. It's about the boots, not the colors.

 

Has anyone seen the new Adidas 2012 advert?

Is it me or are parts of this advert just a copy of Nikes write the future advert? Reminds me a lot of it.

Just thought I'd share this. I found it extremely helpful for sizing comparisons! Click the "Show me how it fits" box and ta-da! Look around at other boots, they will have the same thing to compare sizes!

that's pretty damn sweet if it's accurate. Comparing the boots I have now, it is for me.

 

I still don't think people should order before trying them on because we all have different feet.

 

Just looked and the new pred lz are releasing in my birthday...


Interesting......

 

Very true but it can still give an accurate depiction and you can see where on your foot the boot will be tighter, looser, etc. so based on that if you have wider feet maybe buy a size that's looser in the midfoot. Still trying them on is your best bet but when you live in Canada far away from any football stores it's very difficult

 

interesting question for you all

has anyone seen a photo of the LZs in soft ground yet? are adidas looking to phase it out?

 

I love double posting!

just had a search around on the adidas store and Im shocked. They've put up a teaser page for the LZ and it is priced at a shocking £210

I think the £210 price tag is for that one day exclusive purchase day! Maybe get them on launch day! (5/5/12) and maybe for the boot release 1/6/12 to normal retail of £155?

 

WOW and there is size as small as 3.5! Not expecting that in kid's size.

 

Wow.. great guess! Looks like they're doing exactly that. I wonder if the rubber thingies will be different color for every "zone?" I reallllyyyyy hope they release any of those colorways = mostly white boots with zones being different color.

Honestly, that's the only way I'd be getting them. None of those colors appeal to me. And this coming from the all-Predator player.

close up of the different ribs!

 

The problem with all those ribs its, them falling off.. they look like they have just been glued on,

and according the soccerbible they are going to be highlighting different zones for different players, including van persie and xavi


but............... it says theres 5 zones.. I've only counted 4? unless they are counting the lace area too?

 

Passing, touch, dribbling..? Presume there's a shooting one.

There's one on the outside of the boot. Like really bottom edge. But yes, I agree David. There only appears to be 4!

 

Isn't there a small one on each side of the toe box?

 

yeah and then theres the 'sweet spot' which is the bit on the instep of the forefoot

 

theres the first touch we've seen, a dribble one on the outside, a sweet spot one on where you shoot, a drive one which are really aggressive, and a memory foam pass/receive pad on the instep

 

there's a tiny pad on the instep sort of in the fin region on laser iv's
