salih asked:
Hi Geeks,
I have a pair Adidas World Cup 78 made in West Germany. It is leather and six removable studs and in very good condition, size is 10and 1/2 and wonder how much should I ask for it?
Answer
Hey Salih,
We assume you are talking about the originals from 1978, if so you have a decent pair of football boots.
We are not valuers, but we suggest you give some information regarding their condition. Are they unused? If used, how worn are they? Do you have the original packaging etc….
If we were you, we’d get a nice casing and keep them!
Alex HG asked:
Hi Geeks,
I have a very important tournament next month and I need some new football boots, I´m a right winger. Should I buy Nike Tiempo Air Legend II or Adidas Adipure ?thanks.
Answer
Hi Alex HG,
The shape of your foot is what should determine what boots you should buy in this case. Both are great boots ,but we would have to reccommend the adidas adiPURE if your foot is narrow. However there have been complaints about lack of cushion in the sole of the adiPURE’s whereas Nike’s Air Legend II’s have no such problem with their Air Zoom unit in the heel. You may also want to consider the newly released Nike Super Ligera, which is durable, light, and comfortable. Good luck in your tournament mate!

Jurgen asked:
Hey geeks,
Can you please tell me if the F50.9s are really changing the stud configuration, that’s what i heard. Thanks!
Answer
Hi Jurgen,
Excellent question! There were rumors that a new stud system would be introduced for the newest addition to the TUNIT line, the adidas F50.9. We believed so for some time as well, but now with further knowledge of the boots we know this not to be true.

lampard asked:
What are the best boots for a center mid-fielder that takes all of the free kicks?
Answer
Hey Lampard,
Seeing that you are a dead-ball specialist, we recommended boots dedicated to sheer accuracy and power so that you can beat the keeper. The Concave PT-1 is your best bet. Independent scientific testing concluded use of the Concave resulted in 30% improved accuracy. Independent player tests also showed an increase in power of 15%. Professional player testing using radar gun testing has shown over an 18 metre distance the ball traveled up to 15kph faster. This means greater distance and accuracy in passing and shooting and less time for goalkeepers to react to shots. In addition to that the Concave PT-1’s are very snug and comfortable.

You can order the Concave PT-1’s in the UK through JJB Sports or from Eurosport for our Noth Amercian viewers.

Andrew asked:
Hey Boot Geeks,
Which boots does Geovanni of Hull City wear?
Answer
Hi Andrew,
Geovanni currently wears the classic Umbro Speciali football boots. While at Manchester City he wore the Nike Total 90 Laser’s. The switch to Umbro can be explained due to them being the official kit sponsor and supplier of free football equipment for Hull City’s players.

No, we don’t know of any football boots that will be lighter than the Nike Mercurial SL’s. Only Ussain Bolt’s track spikes can beat them!

Jose Lara asked:
hey geeks,
will the adipure be coming out with any new colourways for the upcoming year?
will the concave football boot have new colourways?
Answer
Hi Jose Lara,
The adidas adiPURE is about to be discontinued due to the imminent release of its predecessor, the adidas adiPURE II. This of course means that there will not be any additional colourways of the adidas adiPURE before the adiPURE II’s are released on January 1, 2009. As for your second question, the Concave PT-1’s will have various new colourways being released soon. You can view the new colourways at Concave Sports.
