Not fakes. They are the silver/black SG Flares. They must be stocked in the UK, not in Australia. Let me see if i have any pics...

This is the only pic I have of an original FG sample. You can see how much the leather has improved from sample to final production.

The heel on the ebay pics looks really high. IS that part of the raised heel thats supposed to help you get in better form for sprinting?

those look hot the black bits look like mesh almost..and any chance those will be available in Australia?

They're the UK version. Australia gets these http://www.shopnomis.com/au/DisplayDetail.aspx?which=193

thanks for clearin that up ejtek

Only 300!!! But seriously who heres gonna fork out 300 for one pair of boots?

that would be me heh, only like $50 more than what absolutes are here and wanted to give Nomis a try, the black/silver Fg is what I should be getting in about a week from my brother in uk who got them for me

Well the HK07s are RRP$300 but you can get them for $265 at sportsmart here in Melb

ejtek the one's you say Australia gets instead of the UK version...well I saw them in Greaves Sports in Glasgow, so some shops in the UK must stock them.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but will the HK07's be available in the US?

I live in mississippi and i recently aquired the money for some nomis boots, should i get the instincts or flares?
im leaning toward flares and do u know if any new colourways are coing out soon?

Why only instinct and flares? Have you considered other models, glove, spark, etc.? I ordered a pair of sparks because they are wider than the instincts. If you have wider feet, I've been told the glove and spark are better choices than the instinct/flares.

I guess thats a good idea Because i could get both of them for the same price if i went with control freaks @ this link here http://www.shopnomis.com/au/DisplayDetail.aspx?which=190

The Control Freaks Scheme is finished..I was apart of it and asked what was happening and recieved email saying it was finished..In regards to Instincts i have had mine for about 2 weeks and very happy with them..i have wide feet and thought they may be a bit narrow but the leather stretches to fit comfortably so i would not worry about that..

What is the sizing of the spark and glove?
What are their US sizes in comparison to UK?

really? so if we order from that web page then what happens?

does anyone have some kind of nomis video about preds? cheers

What....

If you mean the one where they compare the grip on a Nomis boot over to the grip on a pair of Manias, it was on youtube but has now been removed by the user apparantly

so no one here has it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnAV5wsmZxU

found this tho, its hilarious

Does anyone have sonics or strikers yet or know what they are made out of?

Crofty has a pair of sonics? I think.

AND:
I just received my Nomis Sparks !!! Yellow/Black, fg. They are so comfortable. The second I put my foot in it felt like a glove-literally. The control leather is great, and the ball doesn't stick as much as I thought...I also have only worn it around the house, so I don't really know yet... An unexpected thing is that the tounge under the laces is made out of an interesting material...sort of like foam, the surface reminds me of the long stick lifeguards have. The inside of the boot looked a little hard at first, but it is super supportive and unbelievably comfortable!! Its great to have the spare set of laces, orthotic inserts ( I wear orthotics when injured) and the boot bag. Terrific so far!!!

what size are they? also, what size are they in comparison to your other boots and which boots?

My Sparks are size 8.5 U.S Mens. I wear a size 9 U.S. in Nike Legends. Compared to my Legends (my only other boot I can wear nowadays that I can compare to) the Nomis' are smaller, but do not feel half a size smaller. The heel and midfoot is snugger than the legends because of the better shaped insole, but the toe area is a little larger and more comfortable in the Nomis Sparks. I would definately recommend one half a size smaller U.S. from most other boots. They are very comfortable, fit me much better than Adidas Predators (from what I tried on at the store)

hey guys!

finally got my HK07s, love em!
first thing i did was put in the shorter shoelaces, theyre perfect lol
great boots

anyway i got a question ...

word on the street is the HK10s have a different kind of leather to the HK07s, and the booster cloths are only for the HK10s

id never heard anything like it before.. and well its sounds like bullshit
thing is the bloke that told me is a shoe distributerererer guy or wateva, so yeah im confused... anyway

my bro also got his HK10s, man they stand out lol

thanks hellonomis for all ur help

That's very odd, as far as I am aware it is exactly the same leather - K-Leather on the Hk07 and the Hk10. The booster/cleaning cloths can be used on any leather boot - obviously the wet leather booster cloth is designed for the wet control boots. The booster cloths will shortly be sold as general accessories too.

does anyone have that video????

what comes with the new Sparks? eg. extra insoles...etc

I think:
Extra insoles, extra laces, booster clothes pack and shoe bag. and i heard about a dvd?

Question for the Nomis man:
Do the kids size sparks (the dual control ones) also come with the above?
THanks

Hey everyone,

Im thinking about buying a new pair of top boots and Im leaning towards a Nomis boot. Now I don't much about Nomises...but what is the best Nomis boot in your opinions and where can i get some for less hen full price?

Thanks in advance!

Hey crofty how are those sonics doing? Do u know what kind of leather they're made out of? Im looking into getting some of those ,but they're not on shopnomis or soccer.com. I live in america and they dont have many soccer shops where im from.

ps: Frenchman i would go with Gloves or Sparks

In response to what comes in a with Nomis Sparks, I am not sure about the ones they ship out now. I think it is safe to assume my sparks have been sitting at the soccer.com warehouse for a while, but I got them with these accesories: Little kangaroo shaped kangaroo leather keychain thing (pointless), A very small leaflet with no information I haven't known, a pair of flat insoles to accomodate orthotics ( I think), and a pair of shorter laces. This all comes packaged in a clear plastic shoe bag.

Gloves or SParks....okay, so Ill do some researchhing but where can i buy them for less? and hows the sizing?

well for gloves and sparks you need to buy half a size smaller and you can still get from soccer.com or try ebay.

Well I just had my first training with my Sparks...Nearly perfect. A little tight but it got better as practice went on. One weird observation that is just a little feeling in my heel: there is barely any padding in the back top part of the heel, but a lot of padding on the sides of the ankle. A little weird. I think I will either try another practice or double sock, because other than that these shoes are perfect!!

P.S. ZeFrenchman I highly doubt you could find them for significantly less than full price. The cheapest I've seen the sparks and gloves was 180-ish, but on ebay you could find them at 150-160, but then shipping might be more.

Hey Michael, any chance of more nomis schemes like control freaks to become a product tester, there is a thread of people who became nike testers and there would probably be enough people willing to join in for nomis could be a way to get better corporate image! just a thought!

played a game of touch today, apart from kicking the footy with mates its the first real use of my HK07s

and well, they were f***ing great!

my feet love them, impossible to get blisters, they performed really well too

another thing, it was raining and shit, ground was pretty wet, after the game there was a little bit of mud on the bottom of the boots, im sure it would be less than everyone else though.. didnt think to compare at the time lol

Yeah, good. I think i probably bought them a half size big, they fit pretty huge. I'll deal with it tho. Im getting used to the extra grip, when you hit it right on the control bits you get massive amounts of spin and you have to re-think your aiming. Its worth it when your figure it out tho. Im pretty sure they're bovine/calf leather but its pretty good stuff and is conforming to my feet pretty well. For sure k is better but not that much better if you know what i mean...

To tell the truth, I have the sparks and the grip isn't much of a difference for me. The only time it really makes a difference is when you try to bend the ball on say a dead-ball. Other than that it just makes it easier to kick. I haven't found myself having to rethink my aim though

Thats what i mean, when you try to bend it it bends more than standard boots. So if youre going top left (with your right foot) you have to start it more to the right. Thats all. You get used to it tho.

Oh. I guess I got used to it pretty quickly then

I'm predominantly right footed & can curl a ball both ways fairly easily. Yesterday we decided to put this Nomis leather technology to the "non-scientific but beats working" test. So you know it's worth quoting! I took a few pairs of boots: Adidas synthethic, Umbro EliteX, Puma vKons & my HK07s.

On a sunny, still day we agreed that 7 strikes with each boot would be a fair comparison. The target was to curl a ball in from the corner over the crossbar/between the poles of league posts. The Adidas & Puma were rather hit & miss, 2 & 3 respectively . The vKons I've not worn much but still. The Umbros are a bit of a fave & gave quite a bit more swing than the other two. 5/7. The Sparks I hit 6/7 straight away. Now this IMO wasn't a great difference compared to the Umbros. BUT where I did think there was a marked difference was the distance I could push the ball out with the Sparks. It was around 4-8 foot over the others. Tried the first 2 pairs again in case it was more practice then substance getting them over. I went 3 & 3 that time. Twas then I thought about hitting around a wall on a penalty so thats a test for next time. Once we "borrow" some otto bins...

I realize this will mean nada to everyone but I'm bored & still in love with my HKs...

i hate you. lol, i'm jk. just a bit jealous that here in America we don't get the HKs

LMAO flights are pretty cheap this time of year. Well worth it!

But there's always the Nomis online shop...

You'd probably fly all the way here and not be able to find any.

I'd also like to remind everyone that borrowing (read: stealing) bins is a crime and is in no way endorsed or encouraged by soccerpulse.com. Much fun tho.

hey all, I got my black/silver Flares in mail yesterday, look pretty sweet . The only problem I'm having which I remember others posting about is heel slippage guess maybe from the raised heel feature, will see how it goes in a game tonight but short of using some ductape did anyone find anything that helped with this? thanks

Great deal on Instint FG on eBay Australia:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-Nomis-Instinct-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Size 9.5 for $170 so far or $220 buy it now.

Isn't Kewell wearing the Spark not Instinct this season? And everywhere I've seen the Instinct it's been $295-$300. Why do sellers pump up their products as though people are idiots?? Still if genuine & new $220 is a fair price.

Bit of a rumour that Nomis products (well some at least) will take a dip in price around late April/May. Hmmm, might have 2 pairs this year

Anyone heard anything about that fabled Nomis DVD yet? I'm going to stick with this till I know something!

Went to Rebelsport today, saw the old and the new (white/black dual control) version of Sparks. The old yellow/black (only dry control) ones felt softer for some reason hmm...
they didn't have HK7's which was disappointing, but do they fit the same??
Also the heel does slip a little bit even though I tried on a perfect fitting size.
Or should i have tried a tighter size (half size smaller) since they'll stretch?
