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.

Nike Vapor Superfly III




Here is a close up look of the Super Fly III. Not sure why it is labeled as the next Super Fly because after seeing images around the net, the boot looks like a mirror image of the second version of this Nike elite boot. The boot still has fly wire, sense studs, and carbon fiber outsole.

Only time will tell footy fans. In my opinion, this series needs to be revamped by the Nike development team. The boot has not changed in the past two years and Nike Football fans are ready for something else/new.

Happy birthday mom gets fined? REALLY?


This past Tuesday Messi was fined for dedicating a goal celebration to his mom. Messi celebrated the PK by lifting up his jersey in front of the television camera and revealed a message on his undershirt which wrote :Happy birthday, Mami". The Spanish federation disciplinary committee which stated he disobeyed the article 91.1 which has to do with excessive goal celebrations have fined Messi C3,000 ($4,105) and on top of the fine he will receive a yellow card.



If you ask me the Federation should be paying Messi for all that he has done for not only the league but the sport in general... This is BULL Sh*t...

Is the Nike Superfly dead?


With adidas releasing the prime at a somewhat high price at $300 Nike and the rest of the vapor series have taken a back seat in the innovation kitchen. In my opinion, the superfly is dead and to increase demand for the boots I think Nike need to look within and more specifically brand Jordan. Make the superfly that boot that is released in crazy cool color ways but make it a limited launch and maybe only the first 1000 consumers get a pair. Why use this business model? Well if I remember from economics you need to have demand for a product to be a successful company. By limiting the amount sold it will increase demand... In the end, the superfly is old news, mercurial fans are ready for the next best thing to hit the pitch from Nike. If Nike has cards to play they better play them soon because once the prime comes out next month everyone and anyone will be wearing those boots. Its simple to buy them, as a consumer you are purchasing the lightest boot in the game, there are no negatives to that.

Do you guys like the superfly, what are your impressions/experiences with this boot?
