Chapleski10 read the original post...many of your posts i have seen have you asking questions that have alerady been answered.
- Does he have any other colours? He wouldn't have any other colours, he got them off eBay.
- Buy those off him? There was an eBay link a while back and they went for alot of money.
- How did he get those?

Accurately the material of the Tunits is more smooth and shinning. Like Puma Z5's upper material more.

That would be what he means by the "Tunit'secret."
It's the insoles..
The studs go through the holes on the bottom of the boot and screw into the holes in the insole.

exactly!!!! The Tunit combines the middlesole with the insole to 1 insole.
and Tunit comes with 3 kinds of studs in 1 shoe. just change the studs to change the type of them.
I just thought it is a brand new idear of soccer boots isnt it?

Yes it is a brand new idea..I was just thinking, wouldn't this just put a shitload of stud presure on your feet if the screws are right under them??

Dec 14 2005, 01:33 AM
Ok, im just gonna throw it out there. I think the tunits aren't gonna measure up. Especially with the exchangeable midsole thing, it'll totally ruin your stability. How can a boot that flimsy support your entire weight? And how much will they cost? About US$300 or something? You can get two pairs of reasonably priced boots for that. If the tunits are successful it will only be because of marketing.

A good question ! But the new insole is quite thick, also adidas must has something done to solve this major problem othewise who will wear them ? they are not stupid !
Maybe adidas will add some "adiPRENE" thing between them

Dec 14 2005, 11:34 AM
the whole screw-studs-into-insole thing seem a bit week, first of all they will leak and secondly thenisoles dont look very strong, i cant see them lasting very long under all that pressure from the studs
ejteK
Dec 14 2005, 05:28 PM
Ok ive been looking at the pictures of the tunits with the insoles and the studs and if you look at the studs they've got that plastic bit inbetween the stud and the screw. I'd say that would clip into the bottom of the boot (as it does have the exact shape of the plastic bit) and then you screw the metal tip part and it rotates the screw into the soleplate? That may resolve the leaking issue.

300 us dollars? Adidas is not as dumb as Hummel. Adidas has never gone over 210 dollars. I highly doubt that they will be that high. to compete with Vapors and T903 I geuss in the 175-220. And i also wouldn't believe too much you see in pictures of the shoes this far from the actual release date. They can obviously still make changes, but it doesn't affect me or anyone i know b/c we have to wear firm ground here in the desert.

The basic Tunits are supposed to be around $170. THey will have one upper and just one set of studs for each boot. The 'Premium Pack' will be around $300 and comes with 2 different uppers and all of the stud sets. I'm not sure if there will be different insoles.

ha ha, if anybody here has seen "elizabethtown", this is going to be the shoe that brings adidas down, just like orlando blooms shoe. Ha ha ha
Naw, i think the millions of dollars spent on these, they will have GREAT marketing, with all the bugs worked out in the end. We'll see how the public reacts.....
now thinking about it...i could buy a pair of Copas, World Cups, and K Leather Copa Indoor boots for the price of this "premium" package tunit. big

I'd wanna get them because of the interchangeable studs, (saves buying two pairs of boots) but I'm not keen on this extra soleplate thingy. As has already been said, I don't think it'll be stable, will likely leak, and the wearer doesn't seem to have too much protection from the studs either.
I'll wait until the official marketing blurb comes out, and will try them on before I buy. No eBay for me!

I am sure that you will be able to get any kind of studs for one pair, seperately or maybe even one pair of sg, fg, or hg for $170. It only makes adidas more money.

Yes, I'd definitely like to see the leather versions. Does the standard pack still contain the interchangeable studs, because that's what I'd get them for.
