BIKKEMBERGS TIROSEGNO
Introducing Dirk Bikkembergs latest football boot, the Tirosegno.



We love the way Dirk Bikkembergs launches his football boots. Conformists suggest that you should get a handful of famous footballers together doing a few keep uppy’s, perhaps even talk about the football boots in a press conference when you launch a football boot. Not Dirk.

The new football boot was launched at the Stazione Leopolda, Florence. In true Bikkembergs tradition, the Tirosegno was displayed sixtyfold on top of black lacquered columns and overlooked by 10 gigantic pictures. These pictures were at first hidden by black curtains in an even darker room. The guests received a torchlight and discovered the reflective qualities of the Tirosegno while walking amidst the columns. One by one, the pictures were uncovered during a countdown, at the end of which the room was totally lit up by a set of dazzling stadium lights coming from behind a stage packed with football players wearing the football boot, 100 in total! Now that’s a launch!

Tirosegno



Dirk Bikkembergs has launched his second generation football boot, the Tirosegno (the last football boot was called Bix). The name Tirosegno, was named to reflect the significance of the radiating circles found on the football boots, and should be read as a combination of the words ‘tiro a segno’. This means ‘target practice’ or more symbolically ‘launch’, ‘kick’, ‘to score’ or ‘signal’. We’re not sure what relevance ‘signal’ is, but the others are pretty apt.

The new football boot aims to be the number one designer football boot with top performance qualities and fashion upbringing. Four versions of the Tirosegno are available, soft ground, firm ground, astro turf and indoor.

Testing was done by Dirk Bikkembergs’ own football team (how cool is that?), F.C. Bikkembergs Fossombrone and more conventionally by Italy and Juventus stopper, Giorgio Chiellini.



The upper is a one piece micro fibre, blended with a reflective 3M material. The result being an alternating reflective and non reflective array of circles on the football boot. The 3M material makes the football boots very visible with even a low amount of light hitting the Tirosegno football boot.

Dirk Bikkembergs said of the boots:

“The Tirosegno reflects the essence of the two worlds I stand for. It is the result of a unique project in which I confronted the exclusivity of fashion and the universe of football in the right proportion. What you will see is a fashion jewel with top performance qualities. What does a player want more?”

Puma v1.08 K on EBAY NICE NICE

We've got some Nomis Glove SG's and Spark FG's at work, both for £36! Ridiculous prices! I've already got the Black Pearl SG, and I don't really use them tbh. But I'm very tempted to get a pair of Spark's just because they're so cheap! I will use them eventually, but I don't know atm.

Plus, we've got 3 colours of V1.08's (Red/White, Dandelion/White, Dark Shadow) in both SG and FG all for £90, which I think is pretty sweet!!

do you work at labsport, i just got a pair great bargain

could someone please direct me to a review of the lotto zhero gravities and tell me what the size and fit is like or any good information about the boot. Thanks in advance

i dont really understand why people talk about how thin the upper is so if you get stepped on it hurts more. To me if you get stepped on you get stepped on and it still hurts. Ive worn legends, vapors and v1.06 and if you get stepped on it hurts whatever.

chester

Avoid Reebok, as their products generally aren't accepted to be on par with Nike or Adidas. You can't go wrong with Copa Mundials, but I've heard of durability issues with them. Vapors are generally a good choice for anyone, and blisters can be a problem at first, but if your feet fit them well after you break them in, they become some of the best boots you can have. The blisters also eventually go away.

Wow they are nice boots, how much did they cost you? I'm guessin they are some sort of special edition or something like that.
By the way guys which boots would you say are better to get... Take into account im on a tight budget as i have a game in 2 weeks and i don't get paid till next month now

Puma King Execs
Puma v-K/Strukt
Mercurial Talaria lll
Mercurial Vapour lll
Kaiser 5

Sorry such a long list, i'm stuck between all of these... I'm swaying more towards the Pumas to be honest.

Thanks for the reply mate, ye they are actually the ones i have been considering the most. I think ill go with the Execs because the Vapours aren't too forgiving in some areas and i want a boot thats more about technique. They look damn nice as well lol.
