A lot of technology goes into the boots, the same with adidas. The adiZero are made almost the same as the first vapor were. Basically as thin of a material as possible and just minimalization everywhere. Same with both the vapor and adiZero I've seen a lot of complaints for blistering and comfort so I wouldn't be surprised if the next adiZero were a bit heavier to try to aid comfort, just as the mercurial line has done for 8 years. Both are great boots don't get me wrong, I again just wanted to point out that the technology in the SFII is very prevalent.

I haven't seen anything about studs falling off, mine haven't fallen off yet, and If I remember correctly Adidas were ahead of Nike on this one too with the ability to change studs, soleplate and inner on the F50.8's! Personally I think Nike were too busy thinking of stuff to add to their boots, and forgot the basics of speed, which is lightness. 3 pairs of Adizeros is nearly the weight as 2 pairs of Superfly's, which one is now king of the 'speed' boots? Go figure........ MisterBroom, do you work for Nike?

i don’t know about the adizero studs -hell, i don’t even own one! but what i see on the big leagues, many pros are switching to adizero on their own free will.

i’m just a regular customer, i conclude from what i see:
ronaldo doesn’t use adaptive studs? hmmm, then it couldn’t be that good…; nani switches to adizero? hmmm, then maybe it is that good…

conclusion: from what i see, nike are putting more effort and hype on superfly’s colorways. not on the technology.

they make ronaldo wear more and more colorways, but never make him wear adaptive studs.

because SG works better on soft ground pitch? then do more research and innovate something that would work better than SG studs on soft ground!!!

then maybe i’ll buy superflys. one thing for sure: i won’t buy superfly because it has brighter colors, or because it has spots.

But Nike provided a way for customers to buy one pair of boots that work on any pitch. None of us would use the adaptive studs if Nike gave us new boots for each match and the studs on them were specifically suited for that game. You also bring up the adiZero whose studs fall off because they aren't properly attached for the rigors of a game. All boots have flaws bit to say that there is no technology in the SFII is just ignorant. channo, I said that we all know SG studs work better.

If you want to see the boots they are over at soccer equipment reviews dot com. they look stupid. making a leopard (not overly fast) or cheetah print boots is idiotic. making them a limited run is pointless - ronaldo signature or not. nike make some great boots - but the adizero has changed the game and coming up with a new "kit" for your boots isn't going to change the fact that some new innovation is req. Adidas changed its stripes, so Nike is moving to Spots... time for new strategy Nike. more useless marketing from NIke.

nike make some great boots – but the adizero has changed the game and coming up with a new “kit” for your boots isn’t going to change the fact that some new innovation is req.

Adidas changed its stripes, so Nike is moving to Spots… time for new strategy Nike.

if superfly II are as effective on any terrain as it meant to, ronaldo and the gank would wear it on every game: from bernabeu’s smoothest ground to my hometown’s dirt-they-called-football-pitch.

but no, pros still wear customized outsole and everything.

the fact that they didn’t wear it, shows lack of successful innovation for me.

if the adaptive studs works as good as SG studs on soft ground, now THAT a successful innovation :)

—————————

now let me take u guys to look at another boots: the F50 adizero.

most pros are wearing exactly the same adizero that are sold in our nearest local store.
well, maybe some pros had their fancy color customization, but the technologies inside the boots are exactly the same.
i definitely could use something that works for nani or lio messi.

i’m not trying to help adidas out. they’re also guilty for beckham’s predator x customized heel counter & soleplate.
i’m just trying to point out which innovation that REALLY works, the pros like it, and maybe we should consider spend our hard earned cash on.

anyway, i’m not blaming MisterBroom12 cuz the guy stood up for the boots he like :) i would do the same if someone criticize my favorite boots ;)

I like playing with unique looking boots. I love my custom vapors so these ones would be the same except I ordered my nike id ones with out a shot shield and cushioned insole. I really like the vapor iv though. The boots in the video don't look as bad as I thought and the laces are pretty cool. I will probably get a pair of these. I like playing with unique looking boots.

I think we can all agree that SG studs are clearly the best for soft pitches, which is mostly what the pros play on, but for a player like you or me that play on various types of fields the adaptive stud is a pretty great move innovation wise. It allows you to buy one pair of boots that have studs which are effective on both firm and soft grounds. If it wasn't for these would anybody be complaining about buying a pair of FG and a pair of SG boots at $200 each? As for the safari print SFII, I hope I can get my hands on a pair, they look amazing and I love that this storied Nike print is being brought to the world of football.
