Actually puma.com doesn't say that and neither does prodirect and justsocca actually says leather and i cant be bothered checking all those other websites but it wasn't a good half of the websites so i don't think i'll believe the rest of them either!!! And why would you lie for, its just a pointless arguement which i already won! PS eastbay says K-leather aswell, so i'll be damned if any of those sites are actually true!!!!!


Well actually puma.com does say it as do prodirect and justsocca.
Prodirect Read the description
Justsocca 5 lines down. What does that say?

Edit: Iv just reread your post and are you talking about exec or konstrukt. Because i thought you meant konstrukt. my bad if you didnt cheers1.gif

sad.gif I woke up this morning to find a message on my answer machine, the message was from pds. They are not personalising my puma v1.06 italy editions. But they personalise the v1.06k so why not? They're the same material. Complete lack of proffessionalism imo. thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

Exec, this whole conversation was about exec.

Does it really matter anymore, I got over it a while back that's why I stopped posting. Bottom line is, the leather is very soft and you pay quite a bit for the leather so who gives a shit what kind it is, it's obviously high class if its that soft and that much...

When are the Konstruct II's coming out in the US?
Will Curran
Yeah so, this sucks, the tip of my V-Konstrukts is splitting off the boot, and the thread on the white boot has turned white. Sort of dumb... especially since I only wear the boots for game day and rare occasions. I think I'm going to buy the V-Konstrukt II's when they come out in the US (January 20th is the date I think apak90), and they should be much better..

I don't know, why don't you tell me.

Kangaroos are overpopulated mate. There were protests because Adidas allegedly used baby kangaroo skins for their boots. As for sharks, only certain species are endangered due to fishermen killing them for their fins. I have no idea which kind of shark Kelme uses but i'm sure it's not the ultra rare dodo shark.

Someone should tell my friend that.

Hey all,

I live in Canada and usutally it's quite difficult to get a hold of high-end, quality boots here. I play quite a bit of indoor, turf football as you would imagine and I really wanted to get my hands on these babies:

I can't find them for purchase anywhere online, anybody have any idea where I can go to get them?

Thanks,

What size are you looking for?

And that link doesn't work.

I think the model is called "Mizuno Wave Incision"

EDIT: Just saw your other thread, they are the Wave Incisions.

Also here is the link you used in the other thread: CLICK HERE

Don't create a thread and then flood every other thread with the same question! The tide will bring you the answer and if it doesn't abandon ship and stop posting crap!

That looks like a dull mustard colour thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

The boots are fantastic...just the colourway doesn't have that shine that makes it Gold, which is easier with synthetic...but who wants that!
Sky
It looks like k-leather. I think its almost impossible to make a good looking shiny gold on k-leather. The italy colored logo looks nice though.
Juventus_supporter
Why do they disgust me, does all that stitching help at all or is that just for design?
ejteK
I must say I do agree with you now Juventus...taking a good look at those pictures now, the extra stitching is a bit over the top, although I do like it on the Orange and Blue Maximus'.

Italy Maximus: Can cause seizures.
Juventus_supporter
Haha ye, and do they just look cheap to me, i think its all the stitching, maybe the heel counter aswell but it makes em look like them knock-off boots for kiddies!
G-Run
I hate those Gold Diadora's , they remind me of my Gold Legends...at first they were a nice gold colour and theyve practically turned yellow now. disgusting, I'd never get gold boots unless they were synthetic(italy vapors) or unless t was Zidanes Preds tongue.gif
Chippen™
One part though I really like is the golden coloured carbon fibre in the heel! Looks quite nice IMO, but overall they're just "not my cup of tea"!

just browsing through newwitts now, and i found the kontsrukt II's for really cheap, only 72 euros, which is like $140 us, pretty nice since there like 185 at soccer.com and even more on pds.

Shark Football Boots
The KELME Tiburon, a football boot made from Shark leather!


A few years ago, you’d buy a pair of football boots and they would either be made of cowhide leather or a cheap synthetic material.

Recently kangaroo leather and high end synthetic materials have become more popular.

Then KELME released “The Shark!”

KELME are a Spanish company, that was formed by two brothers back in the 1960’s. This year they launched a unique football boot made from sharkskin, KELME Triburon commonly known as The KELME Shark.

So why Shark?

Shark leather is said to be between 7 and 11 times stronger that a conventional leather.

Sharkskin when looked at close up, is like house tiles, with lots of overlapping pieces making up one strong surface. This is similar to the way fibreglass and concrete is made.

These ’tiles’ make the leather feel a little like sandpaper, which helps the ball grip to the football boot and aids your swerve on the ball.

As you would expect from sharkskin, the football boots are extremely water repellent, yet also flexible and light.

found this at footy-boots.com interesting article although i hear KELMES fall apart quickly

They've been out since Absolutes were released...

Then it's a good thing i don't care about other people, lol its fine for them to stand on streets or knock on doors and force it but its not fine for me to express myself on an internet website, lol but as i agree it has nothing to do with the topic i will certainly not mention it again. smile.gif
