Am I the only person who is scared of the new Umbro site? lol

Hells no! That site freaked the hell out of me! But I can't wait to get my hands on a pair of SX boots! Actually, I will have to, at 140 pounds, I can't afford them until they go on sale for, say, half that price?

New Puma Konstruct 2s are on JustSocca, Link:

(Sorry if trhis has already been posted)

Yea I noticed the new Konstrukts about 3 weeks back but I dont think anyone has posted about it.

^that link doesn't work for me for some reason in fact for me justsocca doesn't work for me at all not just that link is it just me?

It's not working for me now either.

I had seen the Puma v-Konstrukt IIs a while back on footy-boots.com. I'm a fanatic about the original v-Konstrukts, they are by far my favourite pair of boots. They won't be released here in Canada for another month at least, but they've been up on prodirectsoccer for a while now, albiet in the ugly all-white colourway!

On a different topic...

I signed up to be an Umbro product tester, here's hoping! I just want to send a big thank you to everyone on this topic, so far I've learned of two fantastic sales from this topic (the Lotto Zhero Gravities and the 40 pound V1.06s on prodirectsoccer) and I learned about the opportunity to be an Umbro product tester from here as well. People on this forum and especially this topic are quite generous with information and would like to help fellow football lovers. Thank you all!

Just doin our jobs I sent and email to Umbro inquiring about the product testing, the youngest that the site will let you say you are is 17 (I'm guessing the minimum age is 18 though). So I asked them personally, I'm 15 but I'd love to be a product tester even though there is little to no hope

PS. It says somewhere (Maybe T&C) that they will only have something like 10 product testers in total.

Yeah same I got no hope aswell probably, I'm 13 and i wanted to put 1993 but lowest was 1989

could you just say 1989 and lie?

I think it said a MINIMUM of 10 product testers, as in there could be more.

I think for product testing you need to play about 200 hours of football per week! plus I bet you'd have Umbro dudes following you around seeing if you are playing the hours you say you are.

That's what I call a demand!

There isn't even 200 hours in a week, that is like insane to play that much!

LOOL Yup only like 168 hours a week! Can't even be that high because they can't expect a tester to give up there education, can they?

Actually the T&C states that the testers will have to use the product for a minimum of one hour. I don't imagine the other side of the spectrum is quite 200 hours.



15 and 13, eh? How old are the other regulars on these pages? I feel ancient by comparison!!!!

so how many prodcut testers do u whtink they will actualy take beccause i also signed up


that one " why should you be a product tester" was a real ball buster whud u guys put for the answer

I just said I think i'll be gd because I play football regularly and I could give good feedback on products and some other stuff i don't remember now!

Are these puma boots wide fit?

Not at all, they're very thin, I have wide feet and I have a pair, infact I'm wearing them right now.

I mostly wrote a lot of bullcrap. What I wish I could say was "Because I would give my left nut for a pair of SX boots"!

How are they compared to abs?

Jeezo...cant believe some people were taking the '200 hours a week' thing serious... basically I was saying you most likely will get picked if you play a lot of footy each week and if you're with a good team, i doubt theyd let a random boy go down to the park and kick the ball about with his mates wearing the boots then ask for feedback.

I don't think anyone was being serious, I know I wasn't.

where do u sign up to test boots?

ive heard of it, i just thought u needed connections or to play for a big team

Nope you don't need none of that but it does help if our size 9 US!

And 18+!

if u are chosen to test umbro boots do they send u a confirmation email or what happens?

You'll get contacted by e-mail or by phone, if you've provided them with a number.

thanks, is anyone currently a boot tester for any brand?

I think these have been up before but on another site!

very nice

Female version of the V-Konstruct 2

correction, the gutwrenching female version of the v-konstruct 2

Are they really that bad? I like them!

It looks like the V-Konstrukt IIs are in stock (not pre-order) at soccer.com
I think it said pre-order up untill now. I'm going to stop by my local shop and see if they are in and if they are I'll pick them up!

I wore my v1.06 Italys for the first match today, well first time outside. They are something else, I adore them, the material is quite hard yet you get a good feel for the ball, also the synthetic is quite tacky so you can get a fair bit of dip and bend on a shot. And for all those who are smarter than the rest, who know that a boot makes the player better I scored 3 and got man of the match . I think the boots must have a massive sweetspot because I hit a shot on the half-volley with the inside of my boot from near the halfway line and it dipped and swerved into the goal. Normally if I'd tried that, the ball would've ballooned up and out of the pitch . They are comfy as hell too, mould to your foot great, I'll write a review

the trufs are actualy collector edition and your wearing them to play in on a regualar basis ehh ok

I hate people who doesn't wear there boots just because they are a limited edition!! Take no shit, AH02!

Haha, you could collect them, but I have little to no patience so I am not waiting for them to rise in value

And thanks Chippen

I test for Nike.

hey im not saying dont wear them that your choice i just wonder whut they will look like worn down

yeah um i saw deco in a umbro ad and he had on some black and sliver umbro revolution x they have them on umbros website but not anywere that sells umbro boots

Justsocca.com has a new Puma v1 colorway for preorder...

those look pretty nice

zz.db.5 how did you manage to become a tester for Nike.

Anybody know some online stores that have Asics boots, specifically Tigreors.

I heard about it through a family friend who's a rep for adidas. Strangely he didn't offer to set me up with adidas testing, but I'm not sure that it exists in the US.

More on topic - generally how long do Konstructs last? I'm considering picking up a pair on sale (the old silver with a white heel and blue stripe), but I hate paying much for a boot that won't last very long.

It lasts for ages, good tough leather and I've only heard good things about the chance that it'll seperate from sole, I've never heard it happen.

The heel unit is unbrakeable , well it's f'in tough

Was just looking around on soccer.com and saw the Lotto Leggendas. does anyone own these? I heard they are light just like the vapors and have really soft k leather! Anyone know the sizing between lottos compared to those of predators?

a friend of mine has the black FG Leggendas and yes theyre very light and very nice looking.
