What Footy Guru followers are saying about the adiPURE IV:

"i played in the adipure iv for the second time on saturday and they are so comfy. amazingly comfy in fact. good fit all round with no blistering. i could wear them all day. i had the adipure ii and they were lovely with a great feel for the ball. i didnt go for the adipure iii as i didn't quite like the styling although i recognize them as a good boot. the adipure iv nail it with the styling. Between the adipure ii or iv i'd say the iv's just get the nod. Only because they are slightly more comfy than the ii's straight out of the box. The adipure ii is a more narrow boot than the iv but once broken in are super comfy."

Speaking on the behalf of the adiPURE IV "i have not had any blisters, the heels feel fine after breaking them in. after playing for a few hours on saturday, the outsides of my feet were getting sore but there were no blisters. I think once the k-leather stretches it will be very comfy. I played a league game last nite and they felt great, the touch is excellent..maybe its a mental thing or marketing hype, but i feel like my touch is so much better with these because of the k-leather. "



NEW adiZERO & adiPURE IV color ways.

Thanks to the help of Big Soccer forum and a follower of Footy Guru i found these images/specs of two adidas boots that will fly off the shelves this summer. I thought adidas was making a big mistake showing their cards too early be releasing the F50 adizero II and the Prime so early in the year, but from the looks of these images adidas is confident they can keep consumers coming back for more with these awesome color ways.

adiPURE IV RED & adi Blackout Predator X

Pictures taken from My Studs; soccer blog

adiPURE II

If you are already bored with the current adiPure and Predator X color ways or if they are just not your style then maybe this post will raise your spirits of what is soon to come. As you know sometimes adidas plays it safe and releases the boring colors first and then later comes out with the color that captures your interest. It is not a myth just look back at the first couple releases of the predators and the adiPURE every boot has black and red on it. Just stating the facts...Furthermore, about two weeks ago I posted a picture of the unreleased red adiPURE IV'S and in the first day almost 100 footy fans visited footy guru to check out these boots. Looking back i was surprised by the amount of attention those boots got but then i remembered and looked in my closet at the adiPURE II's which were also released in a FLASHY red color way. So far it is the only red adiPURE in the series and by the amount of attention this boot is getting, I can tell that fans are excited about this release/color way. Maybe red is the new pink? This color way will be released this fall for those of you waning to get your hands on this boot!

As for the Predator X, which in my opinion has been a disappointment will have one more color way before the new adiPOWER Predator is released in June. This boot will be classic and have a lot of fans because the boot is all black. I can remember when having all black boots were stylish, and specifically remember when the PUMA king was all blacked out. I remember playing with kids from all over the nation that summer and seeing those boots everywhere. Not sure, but i think Puma discontinued those boots which was a big mistake! The advice i can give to PUMA, keep it simple stupid, sometimes less is more and old school is better.

Adidas adiPure IV SL TRX FG

With the release of the adidas F50 Prime soon to hit stores next month along with the news\hype regarding adidas football creating an elite series of boots called the SL series. Footy fans have been searching high and low trying to get a glimpse of what is soon to come. Based off my blog stats over the past week 200 people have searched this site for tags regarding the adiPURe SL. With stats like that I could not ignore those numbers, so I was determined this week to bring some brand new news to the table. Looks like Christmas came early because according to Wegotsoccer the adiPURE SL Will cost $249.99 and is available to preorder for an expected ship date for 4/1/2011. The only thing that it does not say is the weight of the boot which I am dying to find out. However, I was right regarding the upper, release date, and the sprint frame outsole. Check the boot out here, Adidas adiPure IV SL TRX FG.

Tech Specs according to wegotsoccer;

Adidas adiPure IV SL TRX FG
PRE-ORDER. EXPECTED SHIP DATE IS 4/1/2011
Price:$249.99
UPPER: The upper material has 100% ultra soft and lightweight K-Leather for comfortable fir and natural ball feel. One touch construction in the vamp of the shoe for softer feel, less water intake & a more breathable, lighter upper. Premium soft lining features anti-slip finishing for best comfort and fit.
MIDSOLE: The adipure SL comes with an ergonomically pre-molded, cushioned sockliner and premium lining with X-Static treatment for superb fit and temperature regulation.
OUTSOLE: Sprint frame outsole is lightweight and provide stability through geometry. With less layers and removal of a conventional insole board, the outsole has been used to create the entire stability in the shoe. Triangular stud shape offers maximum acceleration, braking and turning.

Are you excited about these boots, or has the price point already turned you off? Please share your opinions and any other information/regarding the adiPURE SL.

RED adiPURE IV...

It seems that if you want the inside scoop on up and coming boots you need to check sites like ebay regularly to find juicy images of what is soon to be. Recently, I found a red color way in the adiPURE IV which is not even out yet. However, I was also able to track down a picture from an adidas catalog that shows these flashy red boots with a description along with the two other color ways that are already released. I personally, like the color of these boots! I am receiving a pair of adiPURE IV Friday and will be testing them for the next a couple of weeks. Stay tuned…
Until then what do you think about the boots and is anyone out there wearing/testing these boots now?

Adipure sl

Here is a sneak peak of the adiPURE sl that will make way to stores in 2011. This boot has all the aspects of the current adiPURE IV; with the k leather upper, old school feel. However, the outsole of the sl version is made up of the a different outsole to decrease the overall weight of the boot. The outsole adidas uses is the outsole from the famous adiZERO which has been a big hit with amatuear and professional players.




I am excited to see and feel these boots... What do you think footy fans?

This weekend was a hit with some of the top players using some of the top of the line boots on the pitch. Check out what players are wearing what boots...

adiPURE IV &adiZERO II Unseen colors

For some reason, Japan gets boots and different colors that the rest of the world does not get until about six months later. In addition, these adiPURES have a HG hard sole because of the playing surfaces in Asia. In the end, I would love to see these boots/ color ways make it to the states. However, we have seen a trend when adidas releases boots, they always release the safest color first and as the year goes on they produce the eye catching boots. I must say, in the past year the adidas color ways for boots have improved alot! Im excited for 2011...




Also check out these adiZERO'S, new colors that i have never seen before. I am also excited to put this shoe to the test!
