    Hang on, im a bit confused. I know this was highlighted before but not many people responded to it. Are the Nike GS being re-released in december?! What is the point in releasing them in limited quantity if they're going to re-release them?
    http://d.pr/i/Jg8k - August
    http://d.pr/i/scCV - December

    Are we sure this is correct or is this like the K-leather vapor 8 which was 'misinterpreted'?

    After seeing Neymar in person wear them in the semi final, i REALLY REALLY liked them and if theyre going to go on general sale, I am 100% getting them...along with the CR7 vapors. I think ive found my perfect boots!

    hey guys just wondering your opinion on whether or not I should send in my CTR360 Maestri I boots to nike. I just noticed today that there are a couple cracks on the sole plate of my right shoe. I don't know if that would qualify for nike canada to send me back something or not.. The date on the tags inside the shoes are 5/13/10, so about 3 months past the 2 year guarantee... Thanks!

    I would think that the GS release will be like the Tiempo '94 release...special color way, limited numbers, followed by the general release Tiempo Premier different colorway and sole plate. I'm betting that the general release GS will be tweeked or downgraded to keep the limited model "special". Maybe the prototype that Gunt has with the Vapor VIII sole plate is actually the general release model?

    Hello!! How are you, guys? My parents are going to London next week and I asked them to buy me the Nike5 Lunar Gato Metallic Black/Yellow Chrome/University Gold (http://www.sportsdirect.com/nike-5-lunar-gato-indoor-competition-football-trainers-mens-261042). It is the only colour I like. But I have a problem, Sportsdirect does not have them in my size (UK=7 1/2, EUR=42). Do you think that, perhaps, some Nike Store (or Outlet, I don´t know) in London has those boots in UK= 7 1/2? I know it´s an old colour. I´ve never been in any Nike Store, that's why I´m asking your opinion, guys. Thanks a lot!!. (My english it´s rusty, I know. I´m sorry)

    Bye!!

    Just saw that soccerbible has a post about Ronaldo's previous boots and another post discussing whether or not the GS should be continued...is there any chance that they are building hype for an upcoming CR7 GS?

    So, I bought a pair of Vapor VII's last weekend and tried them out in a pick-up game on Wednesday. I'm normally quite a skeptical person (and in marketing) so I try not to be taken in with the various claims made by manufacturers. I should also point out that I'm slow and unfit.

    I love these boots! I rarely try to dribble the ball but they actually made me want to because I felt like I could beat the opposing player. Well worth the $129 I paid locally.

    I have to agree, after trying speed boots for the first time I can't say that they make me any faster, three knee surgeries have robbed me of my youthful pace...but the lightness sure does put you in a mindset that makes you want to take on a defender.

    ^^Agree with that. It might sound a bit sad but it does, in my case too!

    Doesn't sound sad at all - it's why I always love speed boots. Personally... The new CTRs I just don't get along with as much as my Vapor VIIIs. They may fit better, be more comfortable.. But they just don't tick with me properly.

    However ridiculous that sounds, it's true.

    Saw some lads wearing the baby blue/orange vapors at 5 a side yesterday. I didnt even realise they were out. They looked really nice on though, are they the same upper are the mangos?

    Good to know I'm not the only one that loves speed boots. They make me feel faster, even though it may not necessarily be the case!

    I am a avid T90 Laser 4 and CTR wearer, but i must say that the Vapor 8 took me by surprise. What a gigantic leap from Vapor 7 and the Superfly.

    They could be, I didn't get a really close look at them but. Thought that the sole
    Late looked a little bit dark, I put that down to them playing on 3G turf though. I only really saw them close. Up when they were walking past me. I thought it was a bit. Strange for them to have them when nobody had mentioned them because I think they will be a popular colourway when they finally are released.

    Depends which ones you are going for, if you are getting the mango ones with the suede type upper then yes, i found that they actually gave a lot because the upper is so soft, i think you'd be safe to go half a size down with those. As for the other upper which is like leather im not sure. The other risk would be that if you had the upper too tight, the boot might start to rip away from the sole as there has been durability issues with this version.

    But basically yes, they suede type upper will give.
