Nike Elite Series

Nike have recently released the much anticipated Elite series of cleats. The colorway of the series is distinct and it seems that the Nike company are all about colors that will stand out on the pitch and allow players to notice where the other player is moving to.

New T90 Colorways

Nike has released two new colorways for the T90 line and Nike once again added a eye popping colors to one of the releases while keeping the other colors quite calm. One colorway is Neptune Blue/Vibrant Yellow/Black. While the other color release is Black/Challenge Red/Metallic Silver. Both, in my opinion, are quite nice but I wold much rather have the Black/Red/Silver. The silver on the instep provides an easy way to focus on where you need to place your foot on the ball. Though the yellow Spotsheild pods on the instep also provide an area to concentrate on.

New Release

As everyone most likely knows nike has released a flurry of new colorways for T90 and CTR360 ranges, and they have also added the new mercuial vapor IV and Superfly II to the market. The T90 has a blue/yellow/white and black/silver/red colorways. The CTR360 now has a team red/gold/white colorway. The Mercurial range now has two colors obsidian/cool mint/white and violet/orange/dark obsidian. The new mercurials seem to be doing well on the field and no one that has worn the range before has switched out of the new designs.

Cleat Superstitions

Many of you may have heard of the new Nike Superfly 2 that will be released soon and are wondering about some of the specs. Well from what has been released the rumors of the spinning studs is not true. The cleat pattern is different but all of the studs are stationary. Also Nike has done a good job of keeping their elite collection on the down low but the rumors around that line are the carbon fiber sole plates. The elite collection will consist of T90, Tiempo, and CTR360 cleats.
Adidas is also preparing a new release of a brand new design, Adizero. This cleat is supposed to be revolutionary in the weight and design. Adidas's three stripe trademark is included on the design.

Adidas F50i

I have had the personal enjoyment of being able to wear these cleats. I bought the macaw green/white/black version. The single membrane Sprintskin upper is surprisingly thin yet very durable. I have had these cleats for about 6 weeks and cant say anything bad about them except that you have to tighten the studs before every game because they get loose.
Since the cleats have a very thin upper it allows for a better ball feel and allows for precision touches and passes. The changeable studs were one of the reasons I got the cleats. They allow you to have three pairs of cleats in one: a pair for soft, firm, and hard ground. Since the release of the line Adidas have made many color and upper options for this line. So if you don't like the synthetic leather you can always buy a kangaroo leather upper instead. Adidas also changed the lace cover for this edition of the F50 series. Instead of having the full lace cover that velcros to the cleat, this one has a partial lace cover. In my opinion i like the partial lace cover better. It makes the laces easier to tie and also allows you to change out the laces easier if they break. Click here for more

Puma Powercat

For those of you who are in tune to the puma cleat range this will be similar to the v-Konstruct. It is geared more toward the power section of the cleat market and boasts similar quality to the Adidas Predator and Nike T90. Unlike many of the power boots on the market, the Powercat is made mostly of super-soft kangaroo leather that will allow for better feel on the ball. A new feature that this boot has is Puma 3D power shooting technology. Built into the kicking area of the bot it allows for an increase in shooting power while also allowing great control. The lacing system on the cleat is off-center to allow for an increased "sweet spot." The studs on this cleat are also a little something new for Puma to try. Puma has added bladed studs that improve ground penetration and stability. The cleats are set for release on February 6th for around $200. Click here for more.
