Nike Thread [20] - Post all info, pictures & questions here.

I'm rounding up a mob.....we're gathering some torches, tar and feathers. Be afraid.

 

InterTract is FG and the top end model will say ZOOM AIR on the outsole near the heel. It also lacks rivets; I believe the take down has them as the Zoom Air is in the insole vs. the outsole.

Finally the top tier says Air Zoom Total 90 on the tongue and Made in Italy on the inside of the tongue. There are no lower tier models that are the same color ways as the top tier either. There are other ways to tell by the quality of the upper and so on, but these are the big things for the less nuanced observer.

 

Finally got around to buying new replacement boots for my tired Mizunos (which I still love to death).










So far they feel kind of 'tight' and plastic'y. The nike skin creases really tough at where my toes bend and it hurts just walking around...hoping it's an easy break in.

Bummed that it didn't come with the laces that they have up on PDS's site. What gives? Were those just sample laces?

 

Those look cracking.....I've got to get some new turfs for 6 a side and those are on the short list. I'll probably end up in some Legacy or Mundial teams though. I always go back to leather, haha.

Is there a heel lift in those? There is one in my black and pink Bomba 1 and that lift is what I dislike....I'm a minimal drop kind of guy.

Before anyone says it....the Mundial isn't lifted that much, it just looks that way because the of outsole lipping over the heel counter.

 

Do they have a US 11? If so, we might have to rekindle our old arrangement of sending boots across the pond.

 

very nice, I wore my launch colour way for the first time in months Thursday night, and they were nice and comfy, its strange, I actually wore mine indoor once(i fancied ice skating) and the nikeskin you can feel how soft it is, when I play on astro it does feel like a plastic, the heel area does wear in though, strange that they crease on you're toes and it hurts, I've never had any problems with the nikeskin tbh.


My only issue with the shoes are I wish the sole was more aggressive, On sand turf I've got barely any grip, might be because I'm pretty quick, but there was two big occasions on Thursday where the grip let me down

 

Hmmmm...I can't find the button to upload a file. It's disappeared???!!

 

OK, so another pair of boots for you lovely people to identify

 

Old Nike Air Zoom Brasila. Middle tier of the older leather Zoom Air boots, before the silos were streamlined and coordinated as much as today. It would be comparable to a Mystic when it was sold. I think they went for about $64.99.

Super wide boot, BTW. A lot of guys I played with from Nigera had these hulking wide feet and they lived in that line of boots for years.

 

I've tried contacting them in the past directly through their site--and didn't get much back.
Do you have a more direct email addy?

 

Yea--it's weird. I wore them with normal running socks around the house and they didn't hurt as bad...

I will be playing my first game in them Thursday. Time to test how they match up to my Mizunos.

I am sure the NIkeskin will break down...just bumemd it feels so 'plastic'y'

I expected it to be a little more 'quality'...for a lack of better words.

 

I think its more down to the fact there really isn't all that much nikeskin, and its surrounded by other materials kinda takes away from how it feels on the hyervenom, or the elastico.

 

In Nike it is a UK 10. They should have a US size on the label, as well. Thanks!

 

are the upcoming chrome/lime Vapors going to be a general release and easy to get my hands on or will they be fairly limited and better snag asap?

 

It's actually on the nike skin:



Either way, I'm not that worried. Some folks have told me the nike skin softens up after some use. More and more I look at these...the more I keep falling in love. They're sweet looking!

 

Hate to ask, but would you mind looking if there's a UK 10.5 / US 11.5 of the Tiempo Clash in FG? Thanks girl =)

 

^ it's commonplace for stores in the UK to put little stickers with the UK sizes written on them over the us size

 

i wish nike would make a blackout elastico, I would defiantly buy those for indoor, but the bomba do look great black out.

 

How jingoistic.....I thought my people had the most myopic world view.

 

That's a tad harsh. I'd say it's done with practicality in mind; how many Brits are familiar with American shoe sizes?

 

Apparently sarcastic inflection is lost in text from my end.

 

" - Adidas is history. Nike are basketball shoes.(...)
- They are plastic. Madrid is Adidas. Adidas is 70 years in football, not like Nike who have been around 3 days…".
Alonso, Xabi.

 

LOL, I hope CR chirps Xabi Alonso once Adidas releases the new Predators and the pink and blue F50s…
