Well my obvious advice would be keep a hold of everything! That will certainly be worth something in a few years time, quite a few collectors would like to own that.

Haha yeah. I've never really had anything special like that with football boots before so it's a bit weird for me.

vanjory · Jul 19, 2013

Really love the box, zz.21! Apart from that, not really a fan of the boot lol, was looking at the design aesthetics.

appleCORR7 - these the one's from Reading's Nick Blackman. Looks like Nike told him to remove the pic from Twitter

I have done a quick unboxing video of The Nike Premier and some brief soleplate flexibility. I've also took some shots on foot against some other classic boots which i'll post up later. Let me know what you think! First time i've ever uploaded a video....

The soleplate itself is very very flexible in the forefoot and the midfoot is structurally strong. Im really interested to give these a run out and should be able to on sunday. All the signs are really good and pointing firmly in the right direction

Not gonna lie, i love boots that are really really flexible (probably the reason why i'm the only person who liked legend iiis). Anyway, that video of the soleplate flexibility really makes me want a pair.

Grande Jorma! Very interesting. I am looking forward to the comparisons.

Had a friend who ONLY played in SG's...because that was his only boot.
Click to expand...

I had friends that did this in high school, because studs were "cool" and were what "the pros wore". Where I lived, SGs were never really needed but for HS we played a fall season so the ground was rock hard July-Sept. I'm talking turf shoe hard. Once Oct-Nov hit you could probably get away with SG but by no means were they needed. Talk about dumb. All because SGs were seen as the cool thing to wear.

Now I have a friend/teammate that wears nothing but indoors as long as it's not too wet/soft. Most of his moves revolve around rolling the ball and controlling it with the sole. It's crazy how much better he plays in indoor shoes as opposed to FG.

Dr. Boots · Jul 19, 2013

So the HV is on NikeId in the USA as of today....I tried on the HV FG a couple days ago and I was blown away by the fit of the boot. I was concerned with the finishing on the outsole attachment to the upper. It looked as if the edging was exposed and glued over vs. molded around the shape of the upper and sealed. This is why the Predator Absolute came apart so frequently so it is a concern when I see it.

I am pretty sure I am going to go for an AG NikeID model in either whiteout or blackout and see what I think.

rooster · Jul 19, 2013

Nike's new AG sole looks really good. Looks like it will provide a comfortable ride!

Ha! Had a friend like that too. Up to a certain point, he wore some SG's in EVERYTHING. Then we got older..and he changed boots.

I useds to LOVE to play in my World Cups when it was wet, because it's how the pro's mostly used at the time. In retrospect, I wish I knew about mixed soles...because my playing style SUCKED for SG's. My game relies on using the sole of my foot a lot, and with those 4 in the front studes...I could NEVER stop the ball with my sole if it was moving fast and the ground was wet. It would make me look like a newb and the ball would slide under my foot lol. Bad memories!

appleCORR7 · Jul 19, 2013

If those white HVs were a general release I'd snap them up. They look amazing!! I bet Nike were just getting 1000s of tweets asking where they could get a pair from!

Anyone know why a lot of the new upcoming Nike releases have the reflective chrome tongue? Looks like tin foil...

fakes of held up pretty well

appleCORR7 · Jul 19, 2013

Why would you even bid on those? they are wrecked!!

AllanBhoy · Jul 19, 2013

The sad thing is that 2 people bid on it...

appleCORR7 · Jul 19, 2013

At least they aren't going for a crazy amount, they do look good though (well when they were new) colourwise - I love red boots.

It happened to me. I was used to think SG is COOl. Strong, replacable studs meaning I don't need to change boots. I did OK meaning no ankle sprains though the studs pressure and knocking sound disturbing me. Nevertheless I am learning more from this forum then now I wear proper cleats for proper field as long as my 'equity' is fine.

Some players in my place also did great in nike t series and the way they slide and maintain their traction while shooting on the artificial grass really amazed me.

appleCORR7 · Jul 20, 2013

Most places ban you from wearing SG on turf because it cuts it up - but i still see a few people wearing them, and when i see them in the hot weather and my feet are hurting from wearing FG boots with a decent insole i think they must be mental! - saying that though i hate SG boots only wear them when i have too.

David89 · Jul 20, 2013

and thats why its great we now have the option of mix sole

plus I wouldn't want to be slipping over during a game on wet grass

Jorma · Jul 20, 2013

Heres the boots i'm benchmarking the Premiers against. I should have probably got my Panta's out but completely forgot. So there is the Italian made Tiempo 94 reissue, Chinese made Tiempo Premier reissue, Indonesian made Morelia UL, Japan made Morelia UL and a German made Copa. Will write a proper 'review' and play test the Premier this week and feedback.

Heres the photobucket folder where i've put a load of the photos showing the weights etc of the boots and general on foot shots so you get an idea of the stitching and different qualities of the boots.
