Hello_Nomis

Hey Micheal, as I was talking to you I have serious serious durability issues with my sparks after only eleven practices. As I was advised, I emailed Shane. I understood he is at some kind of conference?
Anyways, is there anywhere else I can address the problem? could I send it back to the retailer soccer.com, or would I send it back to you?


What would you do with other brands? Wouldn't you usually contact where you purchased them from first? Sending it back to me would be any good as I don't work within Nomis. You could send Shayne a friendly reminder notice...

varies by what boot you want, but I believe (correct me if wrong) its 1 size down for instincts/flares and .5 for most the others(spark/glove), should be a number of related postings as I recall

Btw, I know a few posted about heel slippage, including it driving me crazy with my Flares, found this great little pads that did the trick for me:

Heh, comes with a picture of high heels on package but works great smile.gif clapping.gif

Michael, do you know when dual instincts are going to be avilable on the website? think som1 said they been in .au stores for awhile.. thanks

hmm, very interesting, i just checked nomisfootball faq to verify that sizing on page:

http://www.nomisfootball.com/Nomis/FAQ.asp
then 'what sizing should i get'

is it just me or has this page completely changed recently? never remember the size 10+ stuff or it ever saying stick with your original size, very confusing...
Hello_Nomis
Requested a little while ago - pictures of the two MS boots now available.

Midfielder 11
NICE BOOTS! is the site working now?

can we have the pictures of the new gloves and instinct colors that are on the nomis site? thanks...
Hello_Nomis
These are the Instincts for 07 (Australia). The Glove is just in the Black/White/Gold model as currently.
Midfielder 11
On the new gloves, where the old ones say wet control on the side, it says something different but I can't quite see what it says. can you fill me in...
shoegoe
dam, nice instincts smile.gif, there a release date for that blue/white?


anyone else notice the pop up on nomisfootball.com , guess adidas didn't like the kewell campaign smile.gif, musta won a case or something, bit of humble pie to eat, heh
meista.de
I got my nomis(Black Pearl) about 1 week ago and after I used them the white stripe in the midel looks kind of yellowish, more on the right side of the boot then the left because thats the foot I use to shoot mostly. Did anybody have this also?

The biggest worry I found in that was "d. Nomis branded footwear does not provide better grip than adidas branded footwear, whether in dry or wet conditions". Isn't that almost the whole of the Nomis selling point? Having to say it's BS must be close to fraudulent advertising no? I mean if I, as I was, was to be trying to decide between Preds or Sparks & went with Sparks on the basis tha they give more control then have I not been rorted?

I'm hardly going to ring the ACCC but it would seem a fair call to make.

Come on, does that retraction sound very sincere to you? Because adidas has more money and power than nomis they've gone and got a court order or put other legal pressure to force nomis to withdraw those statements. Its bullshit and typical of adidas. Or have we all forgotten when they threatened soccerpulse with legal action if we allowed pictures of unreleased adidas to be posted?
To be honest, nomis' marketing has targeted adidas more than anyone else, with the whole kewell thing and that video where they compared sparks and gloves with manias. Also they're probably pretty pissed that a former top empolyee has gone out on his own in direct competition with them. Not to mention that on the surface the original boots (spark, glove) seemed to resemble preds (elastic tounge, sole config, basic sillouette etc). But thats still no reason to legally muscle them into this sort of situation.
I wonder if anyone had the time/cash/balls (and could be bothered) if you could get a similar retraction out of adidas, proving that the predator and powerpulse tecnology is bullshit, and has been for years? Of course you could, only no one has all of those things.

And AB, if you like the boots, and youve seemed to be pretty happy with them, wtf would you call the accc? I for one am going to stay loyal, right until i see or hear a confession from simon himself saying the whole thing was a scam.

Money & power matter not if the claims could be proven. Fact is if the info was available to substantiate the figures then obviously they wouldn't be forced to pull the advertising. No matter what sinister forces may or may not be afoot due to Adidas noone is going to have a legal warning given to them if what they say can be verified as true.

I never said I WOULD call the ACCC, just that with the way the advertising is aimed & now an unequivocal denial of "16x & 8x more grip than Adidas" it would seem a fair call. And although you didn't say it as though I had, I have no doubts it wasn't done as a scam, maybe just a little excitement fuelled oversight... laugh.gif

Your right though, up to this point I am more than happy with them & only time will tell for how long, but I dont see where the downside to them is. In fact as of tomorrow night I'll have sold 5 pairs. Not as a retailer just a word-of-mouth unashamed fan!
Crofty
Yeh, i didnt mean to come on so harsh but adidas has a precident for this kinda thing. Its not so much that they have to prove it because its not something that can really be proven. Nomis would have to back down so as to not face a possibly lenghtly and costly legal battle. They've been out muscled and are going to have to design and implement a new marketing plan. The plus is that it shows they must've made quite an impact in the market for adidas to resort to these sorts of measures. Either that or they really got under adidas' skin. laugh.gif

Good stuff on the word of mouth. There should be commissions for this sort of thing. tongue.gif
Aussie Blue
Nah, you weren't harsh, exchange of opinion is good!

As for comission, your preaching to the converted there my friend! laugh.gif

Exclusive: FourFourTwo Unveils First Nomis Futsal Shoe


Staff Writer
Mar 1 2007 15:36
Nomis, the Australian company that is fast gaining a reputation for quality football boots is now embarking on creating the finest futsal shoes.
FourFourTwo is the first site in the world to receive the shoes and brings you the first-ever glimpse of their highly-anticipated new product.

After initial inspection and wearing, the shoes look to be benefiting from the quality and build philosophy that has won Nomis a strong following both here and abroad.

The shoes – which are yet to be given an official name, price or release date are amazingly soft, almost sticky and feature a leather upper, very flat sole, lightweight build and strong heel support.
Ayresome
Very nice but I'm looking for turfs only.
vanpersie17
Those indoors look so good eyepopping.gif

Midfielder 11
When will the shopnomis.com site work because I haven't been able to access it for over a week?
Ayresome
Yeah, I saw those but I am waiting for the new turfs, the studs on those are tiny.
Adambayor
my friend just got some Nomis Sparks white/black, i will see if i can get some pics off him soon
btw they look real nice!
ejteK
Yeah a heap of younger kids playing football and rugby at my school have the white/black sparks...they look soo hot...if only they were made in SG...................
Crofty
Yeh, they're ok. Nothing on the white/gold sparks i tried today tho. There was also these nine pincers (they said dual control anyways) that were black on the outside and white on the instep with orange trim, like valencia colours. They look awesome, id only ever seen the outside before so i thought they were all black.

Cant wait til the nomis shop is actually updated. I hate just seeing the range in bits and pieces. dry.gif

Whitey678
Why are these cheaper than other sparks??

http://www.soccer.com/IWCatProductPage.pro...mis#imageClose1

Aussie Blue
I might change when I spot them in the flesh but DAYYUM I have a thing for those Womens Black Pearls! hump.gif
penf.pat.15
they've been out longer, probably back stocked, so they're cheaper. econ 101. i might buy another pair if i play at college
Giordano e lie
anyone tell me if i got a good price and the boots are good i got the nomis spark red/white fg dry grip from ebay brand new £49.90
G-Run
Mate I was just gonna post about they boots... I checked Shopnomis.com and there is no Spark SG red/white... I know on the eBay page it says they're FG but look at the studs , theyre clearly SG...so I dunno if theyre fake or whatever... the guy has good feedback though.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NOMIS-THE-SPARK-FG-F...1QQcmdZViewItem

what size did you buy?

EDIT: Sorry if its a different seller, but it seems strange that you posted your deal and then I saw them for a similar price a while later, I wonder if Richard knows if they're fake or not-they certainly look real, but as I said on shopnomis there is no SG Spark and that guy is claiming his are FG...
PAFC
anybody know where i can get a cheap pair of nomis boots online? help would be appreciated!

G-Run
I got mine for £39.99 + £4.99 P+P... £45 for Nomis Sparks seems a great deal to me biggrin.gif delivery between 3-5 days.. should be here sometime this week then biggrin.gif can't wait!
Midfielder 11

In the words of one D. Chapelle/Lil Jon "WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!" AU$120+ for import tax? That's just criminal. They better be some gold plated Excels... Or lined with something white & powdery... wow.gif
Hello_Nomis
Let's play "how many Nomis boots can I spot?"...
ejteK

Fortunately us Aussies don't have to pay the import tax...I never have.
Hello_Nomis
