Adidas Thread [12] - Post info, pics & questions here!

PDS has the Absolion in AG.

 

I saw those, way expensive. For that price, I was considering ordering a pair from MiAdidas in the HG soleplate. Has anyone tried the HG?
I went boot shopping yesterday and tried the LZ2...fell in love. Initially the fit feels better than the LZ's and they are one of my favorites...just cant do the FG soleplate.

 

Was wondering the same thing. I can hold out for a future release in AG, even though i like the release colorway...will own a pair of the LZ2's at some point.

 

Anyone tried the nitrocharge yet?

 

Yeah, I've been playing in them (got the prototype from Adidas this winter) for quite a while, and I think that they're pretty good. They're not the second coming, but comfort-wise they are brilliant.

It took a while to break them in, especially because the Hybridtouch seems a little stiff to begin with. Also, the Energysling had to loosen up a bit and adapt to my foot before it really felt comfortable, but other than that, the out-of-the-box fit is amazing. A bit like the Predator LZ II, but slightly wider I feel. Great support in the midfoot, and the heel is well padded and supports the achilles well. When the Hybridtouch forefoot softens up, it actually gives a pretty nice, personal fit without stretching too much. It's a little too tacky for my liking, but it's not a deal breaker.

As for the Energysling, I think it works pretty well - the lockdown effect is there, and it keeps your foot tightly in place without being too restrictive. It doesn't do much more than that, but it's certainly better than taping your boot as some players do to prevent too much lateral-medial movement. I expected a bit more grip as a result af the rubber material, but there isn't any notable differences IMO.

Energypulse also works, well, kinda well. It gives a nice solid feel when striking the ball, but I don't feel much difference when accelerating, turning and going full sprint. Great idea, but the execution could've been better. I like the fact that they actually made a Nitrocharge-specific soleplate and didn't just put the standard Sprintframe on it.

All in all, a decent little boot. It actually delivers when it comes to keeping your foot in place and thus preventing too much energy loss, but other than that there are no notable benefits. I certainly didn't feel like having more energy at the end of the match... The fit is amazing, comfort-wise it's brilliant, and it's got just that bit more oomph than the Predator LZ IIs - which in my eyes make them feel more like the old Predators than the LZ I and II. Not the last time I play in it, that's for certain.

Cheers for the info! And trying to decode between them and the ctr360's and am stuck ATM although your review is pushing me towards the nitro's now. If I do go for them I've them got to decide between the black and blue!

 

Tried them on yesterday...wasn't impressed. Fit felt okay but the boot feels thick and I didn't like the feel of the energy sling, but this was just trying them on.

 

Any news on the 3rd colourway for the LZ 2s? I read somewhere that the White/Black Stripes/Red Zones will be out on the 1st of July, but then I read on GUNT22's website that there's colourways for the end of the year, and the White/Black/Red are said to be released in December??

 

posted a picture few pages back...

 

Best thing about the Nitrocharge is the smell of the Indonesian glue. I will be returning mine next week. Glad I got them out of my system. Got some leather food for the adipowers

 

Its interesting though, the black ones are on a couple of sites but apart from afew leaked images - no site has them up for pre order..... Im a bit worried that they may show up as a pro direct exclusive.

Where does every buy there boots from? I used to like going intojjb tolookand try boots on, but now theres only sports world really isnt there?

 

Sports world/sports direct soccer scene is pretty good too for the mainstream boot brands.

then theres niketown adidas store and the outlets

 

Yeah, i know, i guess it cause we were spoiled with two big jjb stores in our town, then a smal pokey sportsworld. Now the jjb's have gone and all weve got left is a pokey sports world. The adidas outle near me in braintree is okay, but still have adipowers blue/yellow from ages ago at random sizes and expensive too.

I like going to stores to try on boots or get a better sense of what they feel and look like, exclusives to online shops like prodirect bug me as you canreally only go on what you see

 

Hope it isn't too late to share these

can anyone tell me if the speedtrick indoor is mi coach compatible?

 

Black upper with fluorescent yellow is still my all time favorite colorway for any brand and any boot. Simple and clean but just loud enough not to be ignored.

 

They look pretty cool with the electric laces in them too

 

The soleplate on my 11Pros broke yesterday! I want these black Nitro's quite badly. Dont know what i am gonna do till december.

 

Hope it is clear enough to emphasize what has been published on my site
My info always comes from the catalogue, by the way....
