Ok, below are the V5 "camo" colourscheme.







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

Good hunting shoes i guess, suitable in the Australian wilderness maybe a snake wont bite your leg

And finally, some pictures of Konstructs Iris/Gold:



On first seeing this Konstruct colourway I didn't really like it, but for a player that doesn't want to stand out, but still wants something a bit different and unique, these boots are ideal.

When are the blacks gonna be released?

So to answer your question, the Black V1 is released early June this year .

haha, thanks! Good story btw

Well, if you say so... my firend has already got the black ones

First post for me

I'm looking to get new boots later this year as i currently have a pair of red Nike talaria's (blister factory) so I'm moving to my other pair (white 90 3's)
If you live in the Eastern part of Australia (ie. Melbourne) you'll know that it does get pretty wet sometimes so I'm just wondering about the SG blades with the aluminium tips. Do they feel as painful as the normal round screw ins with the alum tip when you play on hard pitches?

But a more important question... how come you can NEVER NEVER NEVER find any SG bladed (except for the Kings etc) boots in shops like Rebelsports ?

Hmm that sucks. As some of the dodgy pitches here in melbourne get REALLY and i mean EXTREMELY REALLY x10 muddy its not funny.

But i actually saw the F50+'s going for AUD$159.95 and the Pulse's at AUD$199.95 last year around Novemberish on the Rebelsports site

You can usually get a good deal on SG boots if you look around the usuall websites...shipping from PDS is like $20 and from Justsocca.com is about $28. Not bad as they usually have big reductions (like White/Chrome/Yellow from 120 quid down to 70).

Do we have to pay customs tax buying from overseas?

(this is buying from PDS or other online shops from US posting to Australia)

Are the V1's gold Hleb wears on this picture(arsenal - Juventus)?looks like gold-black, or maybe they're only dirty, but i saw the match and it looks like gold

Aesthetics ~*~*~ 9/10

Everyone has their own opinion, but it's hard not to like these cleats because they are aesthetically simple, easy on the eyes, but can be very flashy if you're that type of player. There are currently two colorways, this red one (Eto'o), and a white/black which Rivaldo wore in the CL match against Real. Personally I think the Puma cat is quite catchy and I am currently preferring it over the Vapor swoosh.

Value ~*~*~ 9/10

I got these through a friend who has some connections on Hong Kong, but looking at the pricing on major retailers (justsocca, soccer.com) I think the value is amazing, they are very affordable to anyone. Don't expect a price drop within a year though, as the V1 will be making it's major debut in the African Nations Cup, and then the upcoming World Cup (thanks to Rich for the info).

Comfort ~*~*~ 8/10

Don't expect Air Zoom style comfort, but the soles feel great IMO (and can be removed for cleaning). I had no problems with any pains whatsoever in my games. They kind of wrap onto your feet like a glove, bit like k-leather for the feel, and although in certain angles they look narrow, they are NOT (compared to Vapor 2's which i also own). They can probably fit wider feet, the toebox is not too tight. The material is not hard, there is no rubbing against the heel or whatever, but different socks provide different feel. I am wearing medium to thick socks as seen in the pic above, but after a few more games I will try very thin socks for even better feel.

It could be just me, but the fiber DOES stretch a little, not permanently, but expands a bit for a glove-like fit rather than squeezing your foot like Vapors.

Performance ~*~*~ 9/10

Reason I dont give a 10 just yet is because my skills limit me I dont have the magic touch of Zidane or crazy skills like Ronaldinho, but performance-wise I think they are great simply because they are LIGHT. I think they are one of the lightest if not THE lightest boot on the market right now. The material is a kind of fiber, with a technical name you can find on soccer.com. At first glance you may think it is cloth, but it's not, it's some kind of woven fiber that does not tear. While it doesnt have any of that first touch gloss gimmick that Nikeskin offers, it is so thin that I can feel the ball with every touch and every dribble. Acceleration and explosiveness can be fully achieved with the V1. The FG studs are extremely well placed that it grips the ground extremely well (the studs are like blades but not sharp), you can sprint stop twist and turn without worry of a slip or twisting your ankle. The heel counter is excellent and provides stability. It is difficult to sprain your ankle unless you really try.

Shooting and crossing deserves some special mention here. If you are really weak and have problems with power on your shots and long passes, you might be better off with Legends or AZT or any other boot with more padding. These cleats are so thin that they give little to no protection at all. It can be a godsend for those light touches and fancy dribbling, but can be tricky if you're trying a Roberto Carlos-style drive shot. If you're naturally a hard shooter you wont have problems, but if you're used to the heavy padding of AZT and Legends, it might hurt your feet a little if you kick very hard. Not that that would be bad for you, it's a great way to condition your feet. Conclusion: the V1 is designed for speedy players (mostly forwards) who have great ball control and can place their shots. You can definitely curl with these babies if you have the technique.

Durability ~*~*~ N/A

I haven't played with them long enough to judge on durability, but have had no problems so far. I don't think the fiber would tear easily unless someone with blades somehow slashes your cleats, or you get stepped on by a big guy wearing SG ( ). The studs, the sole plate, the heel counter, are all solidly built. Because they are not insanely expensive, I would buy them to rotate with another pair of cleats, rather than wearing them day in day out. I can imagine the white ones being a bit difficult to clean, as I have no idea how to rub off dirt and mud, so I cringe at the thought of that.. fortunately I played on a clean pitch so I just brushed off the dust.

Overall ~*~*~ 9.5/10

Definitely my favorite boot so far. Up close, the texture looks and feels like crocodile skin. They fit my style perfectly, relying on bursts of speed and quick turns to beat people, and passing quickly. The tip of the boot is also thin and I had a blast chipping people, it was so easy getting the tip under the ball that makes lobbing a pleasure (you can feel and lift the ball with your toes). Also took a few free kicks and had NO problems clearing the wall. They look great, feel great, and are "unique" because not many people wear Puma compared to Nike and Adidas. I think that will change very soon

i was thinking of getting either the puma exec or the nomis black pearl any ideas?
