    Is either the Brasil or the Dual. Most likely the Brasil...although Diadora had the tendency to just make a random boot to any requested specs of a player and not put it up for retail release. Many of their pro issue boots are never released to production and they are not even close to anything released to production.

    He swapped between the two boots I mentioned in that World Cup - GettyImages shows it. His match worn Dual was slightly different than the retail model, but here is what you are looking for:

    http://www.okazii.ro/fotbal/ghete/g...mea-41-livrare-gratuita-poze-reale--a66384400

    I recall it being offered in white/black, red/white, blue/white, green/yellow, and possibly blue/yellow...retail in the USA anyway. Soccer Madness might have had the green/yellow as an exclusive, but I can't recall off the top of my head. They had a lot of one off boots.

    I know they were about $90.00 -$100.00 retail and the outsole on them was crap vs. the Brasil. Granted I do rate the Brasil as the best boot ever, so I am bias.

    By the way, I know a place that has has full size runs of the Brasil PU MD intwo different colorways. I don't want to post the link on here because I'll probably get a pair myself but PM me if you're interested.

    Yes, I think that's the one I was looking for. I was young at the time, so I don't remember it really well.
    I had the green/yellow, that looked like this one that Taffarel used the World Cup final: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ShRhTioDu4A/T9shJUXmr5I/AAAAAAAAArc/IvQCmEaZjXs/s1600/Tafarel.jpg

    Thank you very much for the answers!

    I am thinking about picking up a pair of the Diadora Brasil's. I remember hearing that the sizing on those is off. Is if half a size down or a full size?

    gwood,

    my previous pair, brasil MD PRO Italy is a uk6.0 eu39 1/3 jp24.5

    narrow fit, but shoe length is about a uk6.5 mizuno Morelia and nike legend IV

    i'd love the diadora Napoli (japan made), but sizing is unsure.....

    So is there any boots coming out from diadora similar to the maximus? Fold over tongue and elasticated just look amazing.

    funny how companies are going less and less with tongue, my personally prefer a decent sized tongue, I'm not keen on how small nikes are going tbh, the ones are my nitro charge are actually pretty nicely sized.

    Anyone here have the DD-Na GLX 14 yet? Have seen a review from unisport and they look interesting, different from most boots out at the moment.

    Are these Diadora Brasils some take down model or the real deal? Are they some kind of a re-release? I know they're made in Bulgaria. I'm not that familiar with Diadora, although in my childhood it seemed almost all the boots were either Lotto or Diadora :) , but it would be nice if some expert could give some more info on these.

    Looks like the Brasil of the mid 2000's, but possibly a re-make/replica.

    DISCLAIMER: I am far from an expert.

    i had a pair of the dd-nas in the blue pink colorway, felt like i played for catania.

    They were very light, the sole didn't let in water on wet pitches. The fit was great. wide in the forefoot and heel was nice for locking you in. The instep provided a clean strike, the lacing was off center for a good fit. The blades in the outsole were nice for grass pitches. Wore them for a couple of months then sold them, but wish i still had them!

    Hope this helps guys. Wish they would come out with a black pair and I would be all over them. By far a better boot that f50s.

    Anyone know any web site that sells Diadora boots that ships to the UK? (apart from ebay).

    They look really nice actually. Do need some FG boots and nearly ordered some of them on rakuten a few months ago... might go for it.

    Diadora boots might be good, but I have never been wearing them, because I always though they are not good. I love Nike and Adidas, I also think they produce more cool soccer boots. They are more fashioned or something like that. My favorite brand it's Adidas, I mostly buy their cleats, because it perfectly fits on my wider feet.
