Nipper says: OK this is now the thread for smaller brands such as Umbro, Reebok, Lotto etc.

Hummel products are no longer to be discussed in this topic as I have re-pined the old Hummel topic which is full of great information and allows you to talk directly with the Product Manager, Footwear Dept. for Hummel International - a great oppprtunity for you all.

i dont see nuttin

i was thinking of getting either the puma exec or the nomis black pearl any ideas?

I've heard nothing but good things about nomis so I'd say go with them

either way, be sure to post pics here if you have a digital camera

i hope the exec come out in red and white or gunmetal

i will leave pics of them when i get them thanks

I'm a big fan of the Nomis boots, so I would recommend them too. Really really comfy. And the Black Pearl looks like a wet grip boot so you will get more grip in wet than dry conditions. (Still trying to work that one out!!). Defo post a review so we can see what you think.

these are the pics i've found of the execs so far

Wow. Those maroon(?) execs are cool. Where'd you find them? Ive been thinking about getting some kings lately.

they have the maroon execs on soccer.com. i like the black the best tho.

ive heard of new cellarators in black/yellow

they grey and blue execs dont have the strap going over the tongue... whats up with that?

Yeh they do. Its just the same colour as the tounge so you cant see it good. Look at the edges.

The people that made the pic just put the strap under the toungue, not over it.

oh ok, makes sense

Go for the nomis mick!

can you use nomis wet shoes in dry conditions or other way around or do they like not work..

I've recently got execs in black.. one of the comfiest boots i've ever played in - seriously soft leather and the soleplate is so flexible its brilliant - only downside is the stud configuration doesnt give a lot of arch support (on the SG version anyways) - still a quality boot tho

Some Unreleased puma boots: (Expected March 06)
The first will prob be £100-120, the second £80-100

Yeh, i have these black execs, the white ones are surprisingly rare (with navy tongue and the clear blue stud casing):

Those are nice desings!!

that red black and white one is REALLY nice. Great pics

Sure can. Look on their website - the wet grip boots still give a load more grip than any other boot anyway - it's just that the wet grip's get even more grip when they get wet, where as the dry grip just gives a whole heap more grip - I just don't think it responds to the wet in the same way.

Those new Pumas look AMAZING! Really good stuff

what gives nomis the great grip?

My brother has a pair of Nomis Black Pearls and theyre Wet Grip. The leather is specially treated and has a unique texture. Theyre pretty nice and so far the leather is exactly same as they day he got them. So as for durability and the last of the grip they hold up great. He says theyre not as comfy as his old Puma Shudohs though. lol

Does anyone know which footballers outside Australia have Nomis signed up to sponsor?

Not sure, but there seem to be quite a few people wearing them in the new A-League over here.

Nomis said on their website that they've signed a couple of European footballers, so that's why I asked.

I'm sure those execs arent released yet ( the navy blue ones and the white with blue/gold) they have white ones out but they have a more lighter blue stripe.

trust me they are released - well puma didnt seem to have any problems sending some when my colleague ordered them - its weird tho cos the type of stud seen on that one and the one i have, i havent seen anywhere - not on pds or any of the big chain sports stores

my nomis black pearl finally arrived! took 3 weeks to come from australia but they are worth it so far. they are the most comfortable boots i have worn and all of my friends who tried them on said they were like slippers. they give good grip but i havn't tested them in the rain yet but i am sure they will be excellent

Sum wicked boots on show lol Sum ave been made using adobe photoshop and shit I've seen it dun before.

did u get the wet or dry version? bcs i want some very badly!

Where did you get them from in oz? I havent seen any here! Would be very grateful to find out.

no i ordered them off a website from here but they had to get them from australia. they are the wet grip ones you can get them from this site www.sport4choice.com

if you go onto this site it will show you the stockists in australia hope it helps.

if your talking bout those pumas then they arent photoshopped mate, all kosher stuff - on the puma village website (its where retailers buy stock from - i'm the assistant manager in a specialist independent sports shop)

Yeh i saw that but theyre all in capital citys. I live kinda in the bush.

Hummel has now been added to this thread, because the other pinned topic was dead.

I saw some nomis boots in world of soccer, in meblourne i think they have another shop somewhere in aussie, there wasnt just one pair either.

anyone ever hear when the hummel mestallas are comming out, or have any goot pics?

The hummel mestalla are out now. they are actually a 2005 boot, so have been in stock since last jan/feb depending on your market.

i do know though that they may be tough to find, however, as they sold out really fast and it was quite a limited production run.

you best bet to find a retailer in your market is to check the net, or you can contact your local hummel sales office to find a shop that may carry them.

For 2006 the mestalla wont be re-released internationally, but will be available in some markets, mostly in europe (denmark/germany).

Good to have you back Rich, thought you had gone for a moment then.

nope, im here, just been very busy and havent had the time to check back in so often.

R

what happened to this topic? Since it was merged it seems that all the previous posts have been lost!?

there was some great discussion...its really too bad its all gone.

mod?

R

Roque unpinned it, because he thought it was dead. It's still floating around the pages somewhere. If you get it going again I'll pin it again

from the looks of things, the pinned topic idea is good in concept, but not really working in theory. there are tons of posts and new boots (tunit, vap3, etc.) not in the pinned threads. guess it is just kinda difficult to scroll through 10 pages of posts compared to starting a new topic.

guess we'll have to just go with the new posts

does anyone have a picture of the new pumas that weigh less than vapors??

i posted them on page 2 - white one looks a bit like f50 - called the v1 they are also in another post that isnt pinned, cos i'm dopey and didnt look here!!

Henrysrightfoot, do you remember seeing a silver colorway for the King Exec? Is this a future release?
