are they a big store in the USA? do they have many stores across the US?
In a way its good Adidas are expanding the places where you can get miadidas, but on the other hand I hope they don't offer them at too many places, because everyone will buy them and then they aren't really "Mi" adidas anymore.

I dont even know. I hadnt even heard about them til I saw their website. On their site, theres a gallery section with pics of like DB, Zizou, and Roberto Carlos in their stores, I think. So it must be a bigger franchise than I thought.

Alright, time for another Leather tunit update from soccer.com:
Dear (my name),
Thank you for your email. I am not sure where the picture for the item is, as it
is in our catalog. We will fix this as soon as we can. Until then, you can look
at item 010495 which is the standard upper in the same color and the same basic
upper in a different material. I apologize for any inconvenience. If there is
anything else we can help you with, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Holly W.

Its really too bad I never get my eurosport magazine on time. I swear, my mailman takes them at looks at them, then just puts it in my mailbox a few day later when hes done reading it. haha
EDIT: Wait one bloody minute!!!! I checked the item number in the email they sent me, and the upper is the Shale/Slime upper. Uhhh, before, they told me the leather upper is in Victory Blue/White. I have no idea what is going on now.

Alright, finally, thanks for clearing that up!
EDIT: Just realized what great news this is. I really wanted leather tunits, but didnt want my CCs to be in a blue and leathers. Now I can have a slime and a blue. YES. I'm really starting to ramble, so Im going to bed now, haha.

Actually, I don't think the calf leather is so bad. On the .6s, they felt pretty nice, just as soft as k-leather.

Ebay Link to TunitsThat was in the Q1 2007 Soccer Specific Adidas book. For the Predators release dates: for the blackout is 5/1, the new Champions League Predator and David Beckham International are 7/1, and the White/Blue is 8/1. That is old news, I will call Adidas about the Leather Tunits, but I am nearly 100% sure they were coming out in the blue/white colorway first. A kid who works nites at the shop tried to order some. The release date said 3/1, but they said they weren't available yet. So I am not sure exactly what is going on with them. I will give Adidas a call sometime and get it figured out. As for shale/green I haven't heard or saw it coming out in the leather. The Climawarm premium package for 7/1 will have black/white climawarm, yellow/black, and red/white for the 3 uppers. Black/white Leather uppers will also be released on the same date.
I hope this helps, I would get some pics up but my digital camera has taken a crap. Sorry boys. Just post here or PM me for any other questions.

http://www.sport-boecker.de/index.php/cat/...das.html/page/1on this site i put my details in after choosing a colour of miadidas pred and then i got a email back from them sayin this:
Hello,
before I can order the shoes some questions.
Which size must you have left and right?
Will you the wide medium or wide?
Will you a name, a number and a country flagg?
Thename and number in which colour?
Will you 40g or 60g PowerPulse?
A comfort or a performance sockliner?
Which studs did you want, FG, SG or HG?
The delivery time is ca. 4 weeks.
I order theshoes, if I get the money from PayPal.
Then you get a message from adidas, that I order the shoes.

Thinking about getting the Deep Space Absolutes, and was wondering how the size compares to the Pulses. Are they virtually the same or do they have a different fit? I have a pair of UK 8.5 US 9 Pulses, the length is about right but now they are a bit snug on my forefoot because I have very wide feet. They have stretched out fairly well since I have had them, so i haven't had
too many issues. Are they around the same length and width? Any help would be much appreciated. I wish the wide last Absolutes came in Deep Space.
