My Wish List

There is one item on my wish list, aside from getting a few pair of pants, I am looking at some shoes. Mainly futsal boots, what I am current using is Nike's Tiempo, the older version, nothing is wrong with it and I am pretty happy with the design and stuff but just feel like buying a new pair with the new designs so tempting...

Well, I got a few choices to consider, between the two main rivals, Nike and Adidas. Maybe I'll just write some on each brand. Nike, for all its technologies on the boot and its fancy design, the boot's durability questionable. Adidas on the other hand, durability wins hands down over Nike but the designs....err....hmm...quite alright only. Below are some of my considerations.

Let's start with Adidas.

First up, its the new Adidas Predator X. The design, compared to the pioneer design where it blew my mind away, is not as strong as its previous versions. Decent looking but price is a bit on the higher grounds for me.

*The black one

*The white one, which is better looking than the black ones.

The other is the Adidas F50i. It has a smooth look and feel to it, but for futsal purposes, only F5 is available, not much different in terms of design, so I am just going to put the F50i here.

*Blue is my choice, as there is also Black, White and now Green.

Next up, let's jump over to Nike's boots.

Firstly, let me talk about the boot which caught my interest for a while before losing it not long after, is the one Michelle calls it the McDonald's shoe. Introducing Nike's Total Control 360. The boot claimed to have improved technologies in enhancing the player's performance. I am no pro, so I do not think will make much difference for me. Besides, I am trying to get a pair for futsal, and the design for futsal is just bad. Unlike the other version, the one with black sole, with is suitable for artificial pitch (like my current Tiempo) which looks better but the sole deteriorate quite fast so its kinda of a turn off point for me.

*The Nike's Total Control 360

Moving on, I am a speedy guy if I may put it, Nike got a boot for my type of players. Adidas got its F series, Nike got its Mercurial series. This series of boots are light, have an elegant feel to it and the design is quite simple. However, its comes with shiny surface, and with the wear and tear involve, the 'wrinkles' on the boot would make the boot look really bad which is a major no-no because I do not change boot frequently. Moreover, again, the futsal version is not as cool as the football version...

*The Nike's Mecurial Vapor Superfly (5th series), the lastest colour is yellow.

*The Nike's Mecurial Vapor limited edition. I like this version more
as it has a smaller swoosh. =)

*Speaking of the Vapors, I like the 3rd series best

Lastly, its another pair of Nike. The Total 90 series which its previous design looked so 'web-by' that it turned me off straight away. Now, the Total 90 Laser 3 is out and the design rocks!!! BUT~~~~~~ The futsal version just SUCKS!!! AGAIN!!! Grrrr....Again, I am waiting for the black sole to come out, if it looks better then I would go for it. But again, Nike's durability....ARGH!!! (I am very picky, yes...I know)

*I just love it. It looks better in real life =D.

*The sad, cheap looking futsal version...What's with the little extra
green patch in front!!!

*The black sole I am talking about. At least look much better than the one above...
