Adidas Thread [14] - Please post all pictures, info, questions here.

If only there was a uni degree in boots?

 

That's the dream

 

How I wish this could be real life

 

Okay I'm really jealous now you two can stop it

 

I myself am extremely interested in boots and I have been for as long as I can remember. I care about the fit, weight, material, comfort etc. I just find the over-marketed, over-branded stuff that nike and adidas churn out a bit tiresome. Things like boots for position/play style and how they monopolise the elite players when mizuno and pantofolo d'oro create products that are just as good if not better.

I respect Nike and Adidas for the boots they've created, i've worn predators from precession to adipower and vapors from I to VIII as well as many F50s, Tiempos, T90s etc, I just don't think they need my help in advertising their brand, so I like to keep logos discrete when I order from miadidas or nikeID. I hoped that I would be entitled to my opinion.

 

I agree with you dadams. Only wear black boots, and when I do I usually black out the logos. I got the last f50s in black with white stripes and took a sharpie to the stripes. My best friend asked why I would spend 200$ and then hack them up.
He was then appalled when I got some gold vapors on eBay for cheap and then dyed them black.
I just love the sleek look.

I've been wearing the black superflys and just sharpies the logos and think it looks fantastic.

I'm all for taking pride in your boots, but for me too often your boots are a status symbol. I like to put a shift in and do a job so id rather be judged on my performance than on my boots. I also don't like drawing attention to myself.

 

I'd say it's no big deal and you wear whatever you want due to your own personal opinions and views. It's your feet, and at the end of the day, its your choice... so who really cares?

 

Clearly.

 

Doesn't wearing superflys draw attention to yourself anyway? Anyway, Each to their own...

 

I also own just black boots. Adipower blackouts and instict blackouts. I think blackouts get more attention than colored boots. People always ask me or try to figure out what they are

 

Well I guess that's true. People typically don't notice the superflysnas they blend into my black socks, but for some reason whenever I wear my blackout instincts people spend alot of time trying to figure out what they are.

But I still think it draws less attention than something in a bright color or pattern.

To each his own though, if your happy with what's on your feet then you've won half the battle

 

hey guys long time no see!

I heard adidas released a k-leather pack??

As you can see it brought me back from the dead.

So how good are they? I remember the "leather" on the adizeros was pretty poor.

 

I haven't heard anything good about the K-leather pack yet. The leather on the first two leather Adizeros is much better than the leather of the Adipower, 11pro and Copa IMO.

 

I share this opinion.

Had second gen leather f50's and now new 11pros. The leather seems to be much thinner and not as durable feeling as the older f50.

I just played 1 game on my 11pros and i chose for the AG version. But after that 1 game is see some white spots on where the skeleton frame is.

Does anyone know if the leather rips over the skeleton frame, it will be fully covered by the warranty?

 

I would have to think so. Any pics? I haven't worn mine yet so I can't comment on my experience. I'll probably take them out for a jogging session tomorrow.

 

I just greased them in for the winter break, hoping it will loosen the leather a little bit and hoping it was nothing.

As for the warranty guidelines that always comes with the purchase, it says that using a FG or SG on AG will drop the possibility for warranty claims. But how on earth is wearing a FG or SG soleplate on AG so much of a difference to the upper material?

 

Artificial Turf/3G is a lot more abrasive than natural playing surfaces, it'll separate the toe from the sole a lot easier too.

 

The leather on my K-Leather Instincts is extremely nice. Very soft to the touch and they are also very comfortable. I haven't played in them yet as I haven't decided whether to sell them yet or not.

 

Sorry for the double post. I was at the adidas outlet over the weekend and spotted these. I didn't even know these were out yet?

 

Did they have the f50 as well?
