look comfy though, but that is what konstructs were designed for so fish.gif
h o t s p u r
actually they were designed for protection

v1: speed

v-konstruct: protection

king exec: comfort

Why can't Puma make a boot that is a protective, comfortable boot built for speed. Besides the obvious reason of wanting all our money.

you got that all right except for the durability. Pumas are very durable with the exception of one or so cleats. my old Cellerators were like tanks when it came to durability, my friends Kings lasted him 3 seasons with everyday wear, another friend has the Konstructs and they've held for a season and a half, and another friend has the Kings, they've lasted him 3 seasons. The only one that i've seen problems with are the V1s but that's just from the effort that they made to make it so light and "fast"
Timho
true, my v1 only lasted 2 months
NDG8
^^^Not sure, the heel counter on my friends konstructs fell off after not that long, an i've heard some bad things about execs durability. And then obviously there's the V1's which have crap durability.

you mean i got that all right an he got the durability bit wrong laugh.gif

Durability is down to style. Like how, if you drag your toes when you strike a ball/run then of course the toes will wear down easier/seperate from the upper. If you walk really heavily the sole may be under more strain and break. If you involve twisting and turning alot in your game, then the glue attatching the sole to the upper will be strained more and will seperate easier. Maybe you play very aggresively, diving into tackles, throwing yourself at the ball, of course the boots will break easier.

I, personally, find my Konstructs amazing, but another person may hate them for being un-durable. My Exec TTs were great, comfy, no signs of wear, even though I used them most break times at school and every friday on a sand-based-turf pitch, so no durability issues there either.

Also what many people forget is that each boot is different, there is no way of making one boot exactly the same as another, so there are always bound to be faults.

...Just while we're on the topic of durability smile.gif

Ayresome
I havn't seen any posts about them being on the site, and most days I go on the Puma turf page and I've only just noticed them today. Knew they were in the catalogue though (I think I posted it when I got the catalogue).
h o t s p u r

That's a very nice colorway, like it alot.

oh they x revolution 2 boots are the shit!!! pity they probably wont release them-just like some colourways Deco has worn havent been made available to the public.
g rad 4
imo umbro x revolution 2 are crazy and have too much going on.. on the other hand ive just found my soul mate in the x boot 3 new colorway.
the oz
What's the difference between the x boot 3 and the x boot destroyer?
Which of the new releases are center-laced, if any?
These boots look all really good quality and really comfortable.
ejteK
X-Boot 3 features centre lacing.
G-Run
Does anyone else think that Umbro are 'over designing' their boots nowadays? like they have put a little Michelin symbol on one of their boots etc.
Ayresome
No I quite like the x boot 3 but the x boot 2 is over designed
Kippax Street ™
its sad how centre lacing is now "a Feature" it was on all the best boots like copas and pantfolo d'oro but since the AZT90 came along nearly every boot has crappy side lacing. If I become a football coach after i finish school when i tell kids to strike it with their laces they will start spinning the ball off at all angles. Bring back centre lacing!

In the press release that mizuno issued saying Sheva had left he was wearing those shinkens. They weren't brought out though.
Wave17
i never really liked thed wave shinkens but that colorway looks just too good
Sky
Not sure about the quality though, my friend had a pair and after about a month, the threads started splitting. And they are definitely not made in Japan.
Pubes
I posted a pic of those ages ago in here I believe.

I dont know about new colors, but the silver ones that are out now look alright
ejteK
And Puma still persists with the full grain leather instead of kangaroo leather...meh, just aslong as they're as soft and comfy as the past Konstrukts.
Kippax Street ™
there were pics of the konstruct 2 in a jjb ad in 442 magazine, also had pics of the low end edition, the V-KON and they looked pretty nice aswell.

Italy Diadora Maximus on PDS now (didn't know if it had been posted or not)

IMO they look quite nice in these pictures, the gold looks classier.
Kippax Street ™
Yeh the maximus were in 442 also, they said that he would wear them in champs league and international matches only.

Yah I saw that too, eurosport made them look a lot duller, washed out gold. They look much better at pds.
Redwolf9
yea eurosport always makes cleats look bad whereas pds is the other way around

hmmm... wore my v1's for the first time today...wasn't too pleased; they make my feet look well fat aswell...yea, they were well comfy for the first hour or so, then they started to hurt real bad. after the game jus checked my feet an had blisters on my heel an blood blisters under my big toes.... dry.gif

thanks
G-Run
