Diadora Boot and Equipment Thread

I own both the maracanas and the adipures, personally I like the cleat design and leather on the Maracanas. They just feel more stable, also the leather is a little thicker so it feels more comfy but that does not take anything away from the touch. Also they can be had for alot cheaper than the Adipures.

 

they are going to do a new whit and black lx k pro next year....and there is a new shoe replacing the maximus...i forgor what it is called it has covered lacing though. i tried them on at work when the diadora rep brought them in and they are super confertable

 

I got the LX Pro and find them to be extremely comfortable. I wear a 10.5 Maracana, and the 10.5 LX fits great. The LX Pro offers more comfort, stability, and control than the Maracana, but it should, since it costs more. I picked up the Pros for $95 shipped which was a great price for them. They are a joy to use.

I just bought a pair of Diadora Brasil AX RTX14. Was looking at Maracanas, but found a pair of the brasils for about the same price. First time I use them, the velcro that holds the tongue down rips off. I pretty much expected this from my experience with other boots with similar designs and just by looking at the boot. So, I am planning on attaching a elastic strap, like predators have, to hold down the tongue. Anyone ever tried this on these boots? I suspect it will be simple, but wanted to see if anyone else had tried this and how it turned out.

Sorry, if this is in the wrong place. I wasn't sure if I should post in the customizing or diadora thread.

 

i have put a strap on my Brasil. what i did was take a knife and cut the stiches then cut a hair band to the right size then i sewn it to the bottom strap the glued it together follewed my sewn the tounge bak to gether.
mine turned out ok i am not very good at sewn and the glue i used heated the leather and turned out bumpy but other then that they are fine.

 

anybody found out how maximus fits in comparison to air legend and vapors III?...

 

I've never owned diadoras, but a black pair of diadora gammas caught my eye. Anyone know how wide they are, how long they might hold up, and how good the traction is?

 

Diadoras generally run a little wider from my experience and from what i have heard others say. They tend to run small though(i.e. i usually wear a US9, couldn't get my foot in a US9 maracana).

i have only played a few times in my brasils, but they seem to have good traction(the cleats are similar to the ones on the gamma) and the axeler system(which is also in the gamma) seems to make them more comfortable. having said that, the cleats on my nike laser ii's are still tops in my book, not as comfortable though.

 

Thanks for the help, I'm going to try and look around some stores and see if they have them so I can try them on.

 

I have a pair of Cariocas that I have had for at least 4-5 years, playing as much as 40-45 games a year, and they have held up great.

 

I just got a pair of Maximus II in 11.5 US. I haven't played in them yet (injury), but they seem like they are the right size for me.

I wear an 11.5 US in Vapor III, Talaria III and Legend.

I wear an 11 US in Mizuno Ghost Wave Strikers.


Good luck.

 

Some Diadora Cleat reviews to go along with the above questions:

the Maracana RTX 12 and the LX K Pro

 

The LX K PRO are a great boot --very comfortable and form fitting ..I would not change them at all.

Lat year I played with Puma KSL ...nice boot ..but the Diadora are levels above ...both are K leather ..but the technology improvements in Diadora are just amazing.

The biggest surprise for me was the comfort of the boot ...even with 3 hours on the foot ..they still gave me spring and dam I thought I was waering a runner.

AWESOME SHOE

 

I tend to wear the same size almost regardless of boot manufacturer. I wear size 9 copas, size 9 diadora cariocas, same with sambas. Once you wear the shoes for a while, your feet get used to them.

 

Leaked! Diadora Evoluzione 2 K Pro, Diadora GLX DD-NA 14 and Diadora Cambio MD PU

They ruined the Evoluzione visually...

 

The Evoluzione is a great boot. Probably one of the most underrated on the market right now. But I agree, I am not a fan of that blue colorway. Luckily this does mean the current ones will be going on sale so I'll be able to pick up another pair for cheap!

 

So they are using those shoes you can get at the beach so you don't cut your feet on rocks while in the sea?

interesting..

 

Are the last boots in those pictures see through?

 

the best for me is the Italian-made brasils md (black-fluo yellow), was sold some years back by prodirect; unfortunately no longer in production
the best place to consider it is at http://www.unisportstore.com/football-boots/430-diadora/
the upper n outsole is almost like the best ever classic Morelia II
if u can get them from Japan, it'll be the Napoli MD http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/peladiso/item/dia-23100j/

 

Yea not sure what they're doing here. Looks awful.

 

I don't know if this is the right thread, but I'd looking for some pictures of a Diadora shoe from around '98.
It was made in the color of some countries, like Brazil. Taffarel used them on the 1998 World Cup.
Thanks.
