Are beckham pulses synthetic?
I tried some on the other day and label said synthetic but was stuck to k leather leaflet. Im confused.

As far as I am aware the samples were synthetic but got a poor response so adidas decided to release the boots in K leather rather than synthetic. Anyone else heard anything about this?

the ones that beckham actually wear are synthetic. probably bcoz of protesters (k leather). but samples we're in synthetic and i've got a pair, wut can i say i pretty much prefer the synthetics over the leather. there's a trade off of course. =)

wot iz da trade off? and are retail k leather or what? why cant retail be synthetic ?
and can u tell me where to get synthetic ones plz? cheers

As someone said, the samples put out were synthetic but they had very bad feedback on them so they produced the production model in K leather. Beckham wears the synthetic ones though.

The ones I own are K-Leather, and they feel great to be quite honest.
I think that synthetic boots cheapens the game IMO.

The ones that beckham wears are probably synthetic, theyre lighter and more durable so theyre better in a game situation.

PEACE

yeah, but he only wears them for one game......

True...he might switch off from leather to synthetic depending on the ball or pitch. Who knows he might have this down to scientific stuff?

well i tried on a pair of both the white and silver beckham pulses and they both felt K Leather to me. i wouldnt buy synthetic after going with k leather

Hes not very good at the science if he does.<cough>sprayed pk's<cough>
He prob just wear synthetics just to get the hippies off his back.

adidas Predator Pulse 2 TRX SG Dragon

New adidas Predator Pulse XTRX SG Dragon. Available Now!
The adidas Predator Pulse represents the latest development in the Predator story.

The Predator Pulse is now the 7th edition in the Predator story and benefits from a series of brand new technologies which place the boot in a class of its own. The main purpose of all of the research and technological endeavour was to create a boot that gives far more kicking power to the player, combined with an ability to swerve the ball with unnerving accuracy. The adidas Predator Pulse is quite simply the boot that will revolutionise the game once more as the capabilities of added power, swerve and accuracy are fully utilised by such majestic players such as Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham.

To create the most powerful boot ever adidas have taken the weight and the mass of the construction and precisely redistributed it within the forefoot of the boot. This creates an enormous power transfer and brings to the game of football the same power advantages so well adopted in the sports of both tennis and golf.

· New POWERPULSE technology to redefine Total Control, Swerve and Power.
· Improved X-TRAXION Soft Ground configuration with one moulded stud for increased grip, improved manoeuvrability and less mid clogging.
· New X-TRAXION quick change stud for ease of use combined with maximum ground penetration with minimal stud pressure.
· Finest full-grain K-leather upper for superior fit and ultimate comfort.
· New rubber Predator compound for unequalled swerve, power and ultimate ball control.
· Elasticated red Predator tongue, the classic sign-off for state-of-the-art football shoes since 1996.
· Asymmetrical loop lacing for an enlarged and cleaner kicking area.
· External heel counter with dual compound to minimize stress on Achilles tendon.
· New split sole outsole to further reduce weight whilst providing superb form and stability.
· Injected adidas performance striping to avoid unnecessary overlays.

As worn by Real Madrid and England's David Beckham “When I’m taking a free kick, as soon as I strike a ball, I know whether it is in the goal or not. That is the feeling this Predator gives me. This really is a boot that when you step onto the pitch you feel special in. I wear a new pair nearly every game and as far as I am concerned the Predator is the most comfortable boot around.”

i tried on the dragon pulses and they feel like absoulute crap..

whys that? they are the same exact boots just a diff. color.

they are synthetic

the ones ive felt are pure k-leather...where did you try em on?

hmm on monday i think at a local soccer store.

they felt kinda plasticy, i certainly wouldnt pay that much for them!

yea me either for a boot thats "supposed" to be kangarooooo.

They are K-leather, I saw them in a store here in Brazil yesterday... I think that they were thinking about make them on synthetic, and the first prototipes were on synthetic, but I'm totally sure that the final version on the stores are k-leather... sorry for my poor english

just wanted to know the final say on if they are actually kangaroo leather or synthetic cause i'm waiting for my pair from the foot locker sale:D wats the advantages if they're synthetic?

OK... the ones becks himself wore were originally kangaroo, then he got all these threats from animal right actvists and switched to synths. h/e the ones for retail are kangaroo leather, at least the ones at the adidas store in Seattle are.

the sample prototypes things were synthetic.

the actual boots that were released were kangaroo.

yeha hes right,, i saw the syntheitc dragons on ebay and i thought they were going to be some new realeases or sumthing, they were sold by the guy who was also selling a pair of whiteout mi adidas boots. Either way theyre still incredible boots.

haha ok thanx guys, i can't wait to get mine.... but its taking a while for them to get it here.....

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW COMFY THEY ARE?
