Nike Tiempo IV Preview




The boot that has lacked technology and change over the years has been the Tiempo series, which is weird because Nike Soccer has always been one to push the limits of technology and the color of their boots. However, the Tiempos have not had a face lift in terms of technology until now. The Tiempo IV will feature fly wire and also receive a face lift to make it look more like a stream line elite speed boot.


Until now like the Vapor series, Nike has only changed the outsole and color of the Tiempo series. The new Tiempo IV with the combination of a kanga lite upper along with fly wire on the inside and outside of the boot will drastically be changed. In my opinion, Nike should have kept the Tiempos series the same and called this boot another name and introduce another style to their boot line.

In the end, with the combination of technology and if Nike decides to go all out and put a carbon fiber outsole on this boot I am betting it will retail at over $300 which will be a bust in the market because adidas has found the perfect price for boots at around $150 for the adiZERO which has been a big hit.
What do you think about the boot?

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?

NIKE SUPERFLY II- BLACK/ORANGE




Footy Guru Review of the SuperFLY II:

Review:

"Ideal if your an elite-level soccer player looking fo the ultimate performance boot. Nike SENSE forefoot studs, Flywire, and carbon fiber outsole are the key performance technologies that deliver dynamic speed, traction and performance on the field. In the end, this product is built for SPEED!"

Specs:
•Next-generation Nike Flywire technology in a streamlined upper for a lightweight, stronger, more dynamic fit
•Anatomically correct, contoured speed last mirrors the shape of the foot for an enhanced fit and feel
•Lightweight perforated sockliner for superior low profile cushioning and support while reducing cleat pressure for comfort
•Super-strong, super lightweight glass fiber composite plate at outsole that reacts to need for speed
•Strategically configured blades for superior footing and quick cuts in any direction
•Toe-off traction for bursts of speed
•Pressure-activated Adaptive Technology at forefoot for superior grip and acceleration on a variety of fields
•Firm-ground cleats (FG) for use on short-grass fields that may be slightly wet, but rarely muddy

"For me, its all about first-step acceleration, but twisting and turning around a defender is also important," said Real Madrid striker, 2008 FIFA World Player of the Year and Portugese star Cristiano Ronaldo. "The Mercurail Vapor SuperFly II helps me do both, so I can beat my opponent and create scoring opportunities."

SOLD YET?
It is that time of year again, and like adidas Nike is set to release new color ways for the new year. ABOVE, is the SUPERFLY II in an orange and black color way that is set to be released at the beginning of the new year 1/1/11. I can not remember that last time Nike released a black boot besides the Legend III, however i do not mind it and i think black goes with everything.
