go to gettyimages.com and type in Zidane and look at any of the pics. he is definatly wearing the absolutes in the game against MLS. but theyre all black for sum reason. i thought they were sposed to be black n red.

the absolutes are in the stage where top adidas players will 'test' wear them.... zidane WAS wearin em along with others and the ARE blackout because in the test process adidas dont want ppl to notice these unreleased boots (as u know from other posts) so they put em disguised as the latest pulse colour and most unrecognizable colour, black out.... theres your answer and here are a few pics to go with that.........

Yes, alot of other boot makers black out theyre boots, I remeber Umbro doing it a few years ago with the XAI's, the new preds look great astonishing affect on the side.

I saw those pics, and they are simply amazing! but how come they get all blacked out ones and we haven't seen pics of them before??

Is this to somehow try and disguise them as blacked out pulses?

Im confused?

lovely boots!

that was clever marketing by adidas to cover up the absolutes

OHhh i see, does anyone know if the blacked out ones will be released to us??

as in the general public?

prob. not they usualy never release blacked out boots unless you can get them directly from someone who got them from the factory or if you got them from the factory

Maybe this is the reason for the marketing of the blackout predator pulse....





BTW in Frace vs Ivory Coast he had the original black/white/red pulses...strange

yea that was weird..

I think he may have just had those Pulses with the national teams kit guy/equipment manager.

He was wearing the black with the silver stripes that were out before adidas was marketing the black white and red ones as Zidanes choice of boots and he hasn't played with them since the Euro's when those were the current Pred's on the market.

Really though it doesn't matter which boot he wears in terms of fit he gets his custom fitted anyhow so they all will wit the same way.

o my, those look so amazing, if they are as comfy as they look, id def. get em, i dunno bout the other colors tho, blackout are the only 1s i like

Go to miadidas & you will get them custom fit also

here's Gerrard & Lampard with the blackout pulses (feb 2004)

serioustly how can u say the boots luk good u can hardly c then they look like the black out pulses so how do u even now if there absolutes n whoeva said i like the affect on the side propa sort ure ed out u idiot u CANNOT c n e fin on the boots

the small pic.. the guy on the foreground.. he's wearing the new grey/yellow f50's..

It's very clear that they are absolutes...just compare pictures of the black/red pulses & the blackout absolutes

Can People plz fucking put commas and periods in their posts.....trying to read this was annoying as hell. Plus, I dunno half of the shit he said..plz be considerate of others and take the time to nicely write out an understandable statement....


and btw..if u look really close at the absolute tongue, u can notice that the 3 stripes also say adidas under them and are sideways, clear signs of absolutes as pulses dont have the tongue like that. and the predator vamp has 3 big stripes instead of the 6 the pulse have......

plz look closer before u post.

I am getting some for my birthday

Yea thats how i could tell mainly is the toungue.

ohhhh you are one lucky dude..... i hope u will post pictures of them

Players like Fabian Ernst & Gerald Asamoah from Schalke now wears the Absolutes black-out.

Anybody know why Zidane wears a white sticker on the back of he's boots?
