^those are some nice trainers

i really like the konstruct design..





haha.. just thought i'd share my mind

honeslty i dont hink the weightmatters so much.Its more how they fit. If theyre snug and they dont feel liek as second shoe but rather a part of the skin. And 3 oz isnt much thats a pen cap or so. AS long as its not over 10oz im good. But even if tunits r im getting them anyway.

dude i'm not a lightweight shoe freak, trust me. i play in copas and sambas all day long. i'm just disappointed that everyone kept saying that this shoe was going to be lightweight. to me it should have been lightweight, its past due time that adidas made a lightweight shoe. i'm just saying this isn't cutting it. you guys have to agree with me here.

no, we dont..because each company has individuality..not each company needs the exact same mentality..you dont see nomis making lightweight boots do you?..maybe thats not adidas' mentality in the boot market..

you call that the exact same mentality?

hey has any1 got konstructs?
cos i can buy em if i want i was holding them in my hands 2day i swear the leather felt softer than absolutes!
look really nice as well! im thinking of getting em cos my absolutes dnt fit that at the moment
so what u guys reckon

Those brazil pumas are sleek.

David Bentley was wearing the white/black v1's:

Hi

Don't want to double post such a long post, but just to let you know, in the Nomis Questions and Answers thread I have posted details of our new website launch and the Control Freaks scheme - a fantastic idea to let you "join" the Nomis design team. (Great prices on the boots if you join too). Anyway, any questions - hit me in the other thread.

Thanks
Michael

genius idea.

these pumas are just really awesome

when do the black ones come out???

does anyone know the width of the hummel tomassons??..narrow feet or wide feet?

Anyone remember the classic Hummels from a while back?



Well here they are in trainer form!







I love the white ones. Richard, do you know where I can get the white ones, when they will be realesed and cost etc?

Those white ones are tight.

Glad you like. Actually, both of these models, I believe were only released exclusively in Denmark for this first collection, and although they just came out in the shops a week or so ago, may already be sold out! First production wasnt very big, and on delivery demand was much higher than we expected it!

Never fear though, more sneakers on the way. For fall (july delivery in shops) we will be releasing more colors of this sneakers, plus some other models, in our Old School Collection. Distribution should be wider too.

Check more pics and info, here.

cheers,

here's another pic where you can see the shoes a little better.

Any chance of sneaking a pair in about a size Uk10 out for me?

haha. sorry, i actually dont even have a pair for myself since they sold out so fast!

on another topic, there has been some questions about the new Pittards WR Premiership material used on hummel boots. I posted some info in another post, but here's the full text and accompanying technical diagram.

cheers,

----Goat Skin
In cooperation with Pittards Leather, hummel International is proud to introduce Pittards WR Premiership Goat Skin leather specially developed for outstanding football boot performance. hummel International is the first brand to introduce this exciting new material in Football boots.

High abrasion resistance
Prevents wear and tear

Permanent water resistance
Ensures lightweight comfort in wet conditions

Enhanced Grip
Water resistance enhances grip and touch in all conditions

Optimum softness
Engineered leather remains naturally soft to the touch in use

Excellent sweat resistance
Prevents material breakdown keeping leather soft and supple

Unique breathability
Maximum breathability ensures comfort and performance


Abrasion Resistance
Compared to Kangaroo and Bovine (cow) leather, Goat Skin has a unique fiber structure that gives it natural superior abrasion resistance and breathability.

This natural abrasion resistance is further enhanced by a special combination of high performance polymers, silicones and waxes, Pittards eNamelFlex. Applied by process technology this treatment ensures high strength, flex and abrasion properties.

WR100X Treatment
The WR100X tanning process has been specially engineered to offer improved water resistance properties, which keep your hummel footwear protected at all times. Although water is sealed from getting in, WR100X leather is still breathable and will allow perspiration and air to pass through the fiber structure, keeping the foot cool and comfortable.

Ordinary leathers take over 24 hours to dry and are usually hard and prone to cracking. WR100 leather dries in around 6 hours, and is as soft and supple as on the first wearing.

Pittards
Throughout its 178-year history, Pittards has been at the forefront of leather tanning and raw material procurement. Known for extremely high standards and quality products, Pittards plc is a premium supplier of high performance leather to the world's leading brands of gloves, shoes, luxury leathergoods and sports equipment




Care
Pittards WR Premiership Goat Skin leather is a unique premium performance product specifically designed for the high performance needs of football boots. Pittards WR Premiership Goat Skin leather has been specially treated with permanent conditioning and protection.

If properly cared for, your boots will last a long time providing years of performance.

1. Cleaning. Clean surface dirt from your boots using a damp towel. Use only water and do not use chemical cleaners, bleach or harsh abrasive materials. Never machine wash Pittards WR Premiership Goat Skin leather boots.
2. Drying. Always allow your boots to dry in open air after a match. Do not keep in an airtight bag or place near a heat source. Never machine dry boots with Pittards WR Premiership Goat Skin leather. To help preserve the shape of your boots, it is recommended to use a wooden shoe trees or gently stuff your boots with newspaper while air drying.
3. Conditioning. Pittards WR Premiership Goat Skin leather has been specially conditioned during the tanning process to permanently infuse important compounds into the leather grain structure for incredible softness and touch. This treatment will last for the life of your boots. No additional conditioning treatments are required.
4. Protection. The Pittards WR100X treatment has been bonded to the structure of the leather grain during tanning for increased water and sweat resistance. This protection is permanent. No additional protection sprays or treatments are required. The use of additional oils, or petroleum products on Pittards leather, may clog the pores and reduce breathability.

Hummel 6.2 Concept FG GOLD

http://cgi.ebay.de/Hummel-6-2-Concept-FG-G...1QQcmdZViewItem

sorry Richard, but got to ask you this.....are you on this Pittards company payroll???? Or something????? Just seems weird you have to keeping posting this stuff all the time!!!!! A bit too much blatant advertising if you ask me. I thought that was against SP's policy.....MODS am I correct?? I come here for peoples opinions on the boots.

On my other post about the torn leather, the ground was fairly hard to be truthful with you. I did not notice the rip until I got home to clean my boots, so not sure when it happened. Did do a number of sliding tackles in that game

The white stuff and the foam glued to the back of the leather, easily seen on the ripped piece. I still dont get how it can breathe through all this and glue. Look if you say other boots are like it then so be it, just confused about though. And was interested to see you said it can't stretch....so how can it mould to my foot??? Even more confused. I might try to find my really old copas and cut them to see if they are the same.

Yes, the reason I tried it is because it is pretty much the same as the copa, but does feel quite different on the foot. It felt narrower for some reason, but I thought it would stretch, but I guess not.

Pete

Its just something he knows a lot about, seeing as its a material and a company Hummel work with quite a bit. And seeing as Richard works with Hummel, it makes sense that he posts what he knows about. He's been a great addition to Sp! Some great info has come from him and if he wasn't here, you wouldn't be able to ask him about your boot

Hi Peter,

no I am not on Pittards' payroll. Just trying to post some information about a new material that I think others would be interested to know. This is the Hummel thread so I would think more info about the boots, material would be helpful. I have also discussed other materials like synthetics, etc. so I dont think I am particularily biased or anything.

As for the reinforcement material and breathability, the reinforcements used are acutally totally breathable. The nylon lining is a woven material which means there is a weave and holes in it, and foam by its very nature (have small air bubbles in it which makes it "foamy" is also very breathable.

The point of all these reinforcements is not to make it 100% unstretchable, but to control the amount of stretch. Any natural material will stretch because of the grain and fiber composition, but as mentioned the nylon lining helps reinforce it.

As for your copas or other boots, I cant tell from experience and cutting up hundreds of other competitor samples, that our construction is very common. Indeed there are different kinds of constructions, reinforcements used, and I cant remember off hand if the copa is exactly the same as the 4.2, but in general all boots must have reinforcement or they would stretch out after one game!

hope this helps. maybe ill work on posting some pics of cut up shoes on my blog to better illustrate what is inside.

cheers,

Richard

Hi All

Don't want to do a double post (because it it massive) but just to let you know I have posted pics and info about the up coming Nomis World Cup boot releases in the Nomis Questions and Answers thread.

Thanks
Michael

Ok Guys.

I sarcificed a pair of brand new 4.2 Concept FGC boots for this. Hope you are interested.

As discussed, please find attached pics of the construction of a typical soccer boot, with all the layers inside.

As well, I've got more pics and info up on my blog, First Pullover as I couldnt fit them all here.

cheers,

R

Great pics .

Hey, I recently saw a pair of Black V1s. I was wondering if they are coming out with a navy blue color also? I say this cause I thought I saw a pair on so me pro, but I don't remember where I saw the pic
-thanks

man, those street classics are sick.. i want a pair!!!

I'm thinking of buying the Puma v1.06 but as none of the stores near me sell the boot, I have to buy it online.
Here's the predicament I was always told when purchasing boots go for half a size bigger to let the boot mould to your feet etc. My feet are a size nine (u.k sizes) and at the moment I own a pair of Nike Tiempo premier in size 9.5.
So to those people who have bought this boot have you gone for a half a size larger or your normal foot size?

hey i just orderd my v1.06 in red firm ground and im a uk 10 in adidas and a 9.5 in nike there was no sites that had a 9.5 so i got a 10 as there synthtic and wont really stretch

I think pds do half sizes

PDS have V1's FG Red in size 9 1/2 uk...
http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/cgi-bin/pds...e=Firm%20Ground

Richard thanks for the pics, it makes it alot easier to understand the dynamics and structure of the boot.

i just got my Puma V1 trainers from Eastbay (White/Black/Red). Man, these are sick kicks. I'm in love.

I got em few weeks back and they are the nicest trainers i've ever bought.

i got my v1s all red firm ground damn these are hot better then my mv3s and mv2s anyday

Could someone tell me where to find a onlinestore that sells Black V1s?

do we know anything on any new colors coming for the v1's

For the first time im actually starting to appreciate these boots they are so damn sexy.

they look so nice!! i had a tournament 2 weekends ago and i saw some kid with that color... the toe was a bit dirty, but i heard thats what happens with them.

Is the cleaning fairly simple and dont thses rip easily?

i wonder if thye will make the v1.06 colors the same on fifa street 2

if so YEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I'd like to get the red ones, but don't really want them stained much. Is the staining very bad for the red ones?

Ok, below are the V5 "camo" colourscheme.







Not as nice as the "Grass" ones, but still quite funky.

And the grass ones:
