Was in Lifestyle sports today and got a pair of molded Nike hypervenoms for ā‚¬25 in their bargain rack. Jackpot

Throw up a picture or GTFO.

The new kicks.

They look fast

they are for GAA than soccer as the upper is quite light, wouldt be great for soccer in November in some Enniscorthy backwater.

Anyone recommend a decent pair?

Iā€™ve had a pair of these Preds for the last 2 years but the synthetic material doesnā€™t really agree with me. Iā€™d like to go back to real leather. I did like the little grooves around the striking area for that added oomph. Will predominantly be playing on dry surfaces so shouldnā€™t have any saturation problems with real leather, should I pursue that option.

EDIT: PRIMARY COLOUR MUST BE BLACK. Sydneyā€™s mean AA2s is not the place to be fannying about in pinky yellow boots.

Bumped for @ChocolateMice, @Locke @backinatracksuit

Iā€™m surprised at that, I would have thought any association football played in Sydney is full of pinky yellow boots, judging by the boots on players in Sydney teams Fitzy Jnr comes up against (his boots are flouro green, or least the main pair, he has about 10 pairs).
I would go the full leather, I have a pair of Adidas somethings myself (not Predators, Iā€™m able to bend a ball quite easily with my laser guided left foot, 2 more again last night). Iā€™m assuming youā€™re playing on grass and the odd astro pitch?

Yeah, primarily grass. But will need to be ok for astro too for kickabouts in the off season.

Iā€™ve had a look at these lads. Theyā€™re synthetic but the ā€œwebā€ feature is meant to add a bit of cushion for the ball that youā€™d get with real leather.

No, please donā€™t, no, under any circumstances whatsoever. Imagine turning up for a match in Scotstown with them on. Youā€™d be dead in two minutes flat.

Youā€™d only ever see about thirty pairs of the old Puma Kings at Scotstown training.

Get these

Do these not come with a K-leather upper option?

I hate these flimsy lightweight modern bootsā€¦ But it depends on your game I supposeā€¦Iā€™m a ball winner and get through a savage amount of tackling so the only thing Iā€™d wear are the classic puma kingsā€¦ I have a cheap pair of things for astro. Iā€™d recommend the same, get a good strong boot for the field and get something handy for pissing about on astro.

Iā€™ve gone for the K Leather option on this pair @count_of_monte_crist.

http://m.adidas.com.au/ace-15.1-fg-ag-leather-football-boots/B32819.html

Theyā€™ve a thinner leather than the Kings @ChocolateMice, which, whilst still providing sufficient cushion on the first touch, are that little bit lighter. The laces are also slightly misaligned to provider a larger leather surface for more oomph in the strike.
