I checked out the V1.08s today and realised that they have double insoles, first the standard and underneath it a carbon fibre sole. if you take away the carbon fibre sole then the bottom part is see through.

Didn't everyone know that already? If I recall correctly, there was a stock photo posted (a few pages ago) of the V1.08's beside the carbon fiber insole and the regular insole. If it wasn't posted in this thread, then I'm quite sure that I saw it somewhere else on SP. If not on SP, then I know that I saw it somewhere else.

new V1

Ayresome
Has anyone else realised how obvious it is that Adidas are influencing Reebok's boots now that they took them over. Just look at the new Sprintfits:

  • Blade placement: Same as X-Trx system.
  • Tongue: Very similar to the Predator Absolute tongue.
  • Tongue Strap: Very similar to a Predator Absolute strap.
  • Stitching: Similar to the Predator Pulse.

Damn, just a glance at those are you can see they look like preds pretty much, without the swerve gimmicks and the 3 stripes

Those new white colourways of the 1.08's are awesome as!!

For those that have seen/touched the new 08's, do they feel more solid than the 1.06's??
I have the 06's and the extra material on these 08's look like it gives heaps more support and wouldn't 'break' that easily.

Also, is that a massive chunk of rubber or plastic on the front of the 08's?? would that affect anything at all?
Timho
true, those white black ones are easily the best yet

Ive had a good feel of them, and they feel several times more solid than 1.06s. Theyve definitely put an effort into making them stronger. And Im not sure whats on the front sorry shrug03.gif
Texas Red Devil
Yeah the new V1.8's do look like they're made to last longer than the old ones. I still am kinda afraid to have my feet exposed with that little protection though. My friend had some and his feet swelled up so bad after he got stepped on.

Cos we all toe poke lol thumbsup.gif
gringoballer13
i got the v108s and the v108 trainers for christmas and have only used the cleats once, the toe is horrible it feels like it is like an inch high and i cant get the ball up at all and overall they just feel very strange had vapors, preds, v106s, and even the f50.6 andthe toe on those seemed low compared to these, hopefully i will get used to them since they are a little bit big the traniars rnt as bad but still feel strange
KenNY-
Hey gringo would you be able to take some pics of your 08's and post them in here?? (rather than Your Boots cos it'll probably get lost somewhere in there)
Thanks =D

What model of Shinken is that? In the item listing it states: ORIGINAL Mizuno wave shinken/blade FG!
But, I looked at the Shinken on Pro Direct Soccer, which is different than the one on Ebay, and it doesn't say anything about being the second model of Shinken boots.

Oh and I have made up my mind about the V1.08's and I think that they look....










Very ugly!

They are totally different than the V1.06's, which, by the way, I like. It looks like Puma used a different last for the V1.08. They look like sprint spikes and such. After the bend in the shoe on the sprint spikes (you know, the front part of the shoe), the front looks like it's three inches too long.

And, I don't know if they do it on purpose or if it just looks that way because the shoes are so long, but sprint spikes look like their front bend is set at a much greater angle than normal shoes. The front part of the shoe is quite high off the ground. I think it's made that way in order to push off of the balls of your feet and your toes. But, Nike's sprint spikes seem to have this more than other spikes.
Oh wait, this is from http://www.runningunlimited.com/shoes/trackandfield.asp#:
(If you click on the link, then click on the question mark next to: Sprint Spikes, this comes up in a new window.)

These spikes are extremely lightweight and have virtually no heel or added cushioning since they are only worn for distances 400m or less. Sprint Spikes are designed to put you up on your toes and keep you there during the sprint. Sprint spikes are suitable for distances from 100m to 400m

So they are made to "put you up on your toes".

Anyway, the new V1 possesses both of these "qualities". Indeed, they are the first pair of clown boots!

This is basically my review on the V1.08's physical construction. I will comment on issues more look-related later, although the construction of a boot is just as important to the looks of the boot as the stuff that's on it.

Hey man I ain't gonna lie I've put in quite a few in with the toe in those messes in front of goals, but hey I'll take the goal biggrin.gif
Lockdown
Too true, a goals a goal no matter how it goes in. Id rather toe-poke one in than score an owngoal..

DB: they might look like clown-boots but if theyre made to be like sprint spikes, then theyre fulfilling their objective. the v1 range is supposed to be the fastest boots out after all

I have a feeling these have already been posted, but they look good so hey
KenNY-
I don't think the v1.08's look like clown boots. They look slick as in personal pics.

Here are some stolen from BigSoccer.

I like the rubber toe feature so the boots don't start talking after a few months, but there's just too much happening on that boot. It looks whack

Theres gravity IIs coming out


graphite black


silver
Ayresome
I think the black ones have been out for a while because they're in the PDS sale.
Predator 23
Both look pretty slick, just don't know about the whole laceless thing. Not to mention the price laugh.gif
Lockdown
Youre right adam, havent heard much about these new gravitys though, there wasnt much media hype was there, because im assuming the 2T means 2nd gen or something
The price is pretty outrageous but my mate had them and if youve got feet that fit them well and you can find a size thats just right then theyre great, comfort and performance wise
Rynningeik
I´ve orded the black ones from PDS so they will come in a week:) but one strange thing is that when have orded it stands that it will come a e-mail that will confirm your order but it haven't come? But i see that I've had payd the money so that´s a little strange but i hope i wil get them, I live in Sweden so it maybe will take a little longer time to get them:P
Predator 23
I remember people in the past saying they never got the confirmation e-mail but get the order fine, not sure what their deal is shrug03.gif
Rynningeik
OK, well thanks for the Information:) but do you now i if they will phone me or something when I will get the shoes?
Predator 23
I sorta doubt they'll call you, you may get an e-mail later, but they probably won't give any definite idea, just their standard estimates. My orders to the US have taken about 10 days.
Lockdown
Thats odd, in Japan I got a confirmation email straight away, then got an email saying theyd delivered it and then got the boots in about 7 working days
Rynningeik
Ok bro:) thanks for the information:PDo you think the black ones look good?smile.gif
Predator 23
IMO they're the best zero gravity colorway yet thumbsup.gif
Rynningeik
Haha thanks:) I`ve orderd 275 mm and my foot are 269 mm, And on PDS it stands regular sze so i think it´s the right size:)
