Those are sooooo nice

 

Pink adizero Primes

 

POst pics we have to do a survey before

 

More pics: Pink Adizero

 

First of all, those are not Primes (if they even are legit)...and...the heelcup looks really, really fake

 

those are F30s, very easy to tell.

- studs have have see through bit
- heel is padded, F50s are a tiny thumb sized pull tag
- "F30" letters in red on the top of the tongue, F50s are the same color as tongue, Primes have those letters but i believe they are in white
- Heel is the F30s heel, not sprintframe
- No TPU band like the Primes, and obviously all the studs are the same color which is not the case for Primes.

 

They are f30s and haven't we seen them before? I know i have...

 

Yeah, the exact same picture is a few pages back...

 

^^^^^^

sarcasm?

 

the white/blue maestris are carbon-copies of the current ones, with just a darker shade of blue....

 

agreed! i like new technology and a lot of these new boots but the colors they combine them with is just horrible. I'm more of a heritage style wearer but how could I ever try the SF for example when they don't come in black, I don't want plum or whatever with some bright heel to "stand out". I guess I'm stuck buying adipures for the rest of my life

 

nothing beats the Laser IV... They should just name it Total Ugly.

 

lol @ Naruto's Total Ugly. Yea, Nike is gona do whatever they can to squeeze out every single cent from their loyal buyers and the price is gona go higher and higher and higher every time a new one comes out. It's really crazy and I can imagine how expensive is the next SF /CTR or vapor or laser is gona cost. Soon it would be hard to get loyal buyers and soon they will know that they have to lower their price to meet the buyers' needs.

Really, no way they can keep increasing it. At some point of time no one can afford a pair of 1st grade but just the lower tiers (or maybe the tiers could get MORE expensive too).

 

I've heard Nike are going to the contrary.

Don't expect to see an Elite version of the Laser IV, Nike are going to cut down on things like the 'Elite' Range in order to drop costs and win back some brownie points with the fans.

 

I hope they go back to simplicity. That's what won it for Adidas with the Adizeros.

 

explain?

 

Like the Sensestud, flywire, carbon fiber.. adizero said screw all that technology and came out with adizero which became very popular very fast. Also the price .. 400$ like come on

 

Personally I like the flywire. It gives a nicer, more consistent fit imo.

I do wonder how light carbon fiber truly is though. We all just bought it up on the SLs cuz it looked badass, and I do realize they use it on things like airplanes because it's light, but in the case of airplanes, they also have to consider the structural integrity. We don't go through the same wear as an airplane does, so is something that's as stiff as CF, even if it's light, really necessary? Adidas introduced the lightest boot without really making a big deal out of using a new material (unless I just completely missed it), which makes me think CF isn't really that amazing (at least in the case of boot applications).

The sense stud is pretty pointless. I love the standard vapor outsole, hence why I'm buying most of the III/Vs I can get my hands on. SF1 are impossible to come by in my size sadly, at least in fg.
