Dawno już nie było przecieku żadnej kolorystyki Legend VIII. Nie, żebym jakoś szczególnie przepadał za tym butem, zdecydowanie tak nie jest, ale akurat ten przeciek przywoła trochę miłych wspomnień.

Niedawno Nike zaprezentowało nową kompozycję w Premier II, która nawiązywała ewidentnie do Legend IV z Euro 2012. Kolekcja ta miała nazwę Clash. Prezentowane Legend VIII sa trochę luźniejszym nawiązaniem, bo jednak pojawia się tam kolor "volt", ale nie sposób tez nie mieć takiego skojarzenia.

Swoją drogą Nike sporo majstruje przy designie tego buta. Premierowe nie składały się w taki sposób z dwóch kolorów, po drodze byłą też niesamowita edycja specjalna. W krótkim czasie mamy trzecie podejście. Charakterystyczne w modelach mało ciekawych jest to, że sporo się majstruje przy ich wyglądzie. Jakoś trzeba zachęcić.

Do kompletu z prezentowanymi niedawno Vapor XIII z packu o nazwie Planet Football dokładamy przeciek Superfly. Na tą chwilę zapowiada się, że ten pack będzie składał się wyłącznie z dwóch linii z portfela produktowego amerykańskiego koncernu.

Z tego co wiemy kolekcja te będzie niezwykłą nie tylko z uwagi na kolor. Jest to jedna z tych, które nie będą "podstawowymi'. Zagra w nich niewielu zawodników. Od razy przypomina nam się tzw. Time To Shine, pamiętacie?

Myślimy, że jest spora szansa aby w limitowanych Venom zagrał Robert Lewandowski. Już raz, kiedy grał w Phantom Vanom pierwszej generacji był "nosicielem" takich limitowanych na swój sposób butów. Wtedy były one granatowo-żółte. Pamiętacie?

Niedawno pokazywaliśmy wam pierwszy przeciek korków Nike w kolorystyce Mango. Dziś do Venom dołączamy Vision, czyli model trochę starczy. Poza tym, że możemy mu się przyjrzeć pojawiają się kolejne spekulacje.

Przede wszystkim ciekawe jest dalsze towarzystwo tych dwóch park korków. Wydaje się, że jeśli miały być wypuszczone Mercuriale to już byśmyo tym wiedzieli. Może mamy więc do czynienia z kolekcją mieszaną. Nie raz takowe się przecież pojawiały.

Problemem tej koncepcji jest to, że czasowo pasuje tu jedynie kolekcja Planet Football, natomiast tam widzieliśmy już przeciek Phantom Vision, mamy więc powielenie. Co to będzie?

Wracamy do tematu kolekcji Nike na jesień tego roku, która ma się nazywać "planet football". Nie wiem czy w jej skład wejdą wszystkie modele marki (przyznam szczerze, że chętnie zobaczyłbym Legend VIII) ale na pewno pojawią się te będące przedmiotem tego artykuły, czyli Phantom Venom.

Podobne kolekcje, które kojarzą się z piaskiem miewaliśmy w adidasie. Pamiętacie pewnie Desert Storm Pack. Jasne, już na tą chwilę, chociaż nie minęło wiele czasu są to buty o statusie rzadkich i ciekawych kolekcjonersko. Jednak nie zapadły nam jakoś szczególnie w pamięć, prawda? Wydaje się, że ta kompozycja w wykonaniu Nike będzie szczególna, chociaż historia pokazuje, że status zyskuje się czasem (lub nie) z niewiadomych powodów.

Nie wiem czy zarejestrowaliście, ale na Facebooku pokazywałem już przeciek kolejnej generacji tego modeli. Chociaż widać, że Nike zmaga się z problemem z kreatywnością to z paru powodów warto rzucić na nie okiem.

Ta jasień zdaje się być wyjątkowo ciekawa w perspektywie premier Nike. Zazwyczaj rozświetlamy sobie ten nudny wizualnie czas jaskrawymi barwami, ale jak się okazuje można też wpasować się tworząc ostatecznie korki, które pewnie zapiszą się w historii swoją wyjątkowością.

Nie jest to żaden "sand pack" ani coś takiego. Kolekcja, która ma się pojawić jeszcze w tym miesiącu ma nosić nazwę Planet Football. Musicie przyznać, że barwa jest na prawdę wyjątkowa i może poza dość luźnymi skojarzeniami z pewnymi Vapor III czy też Legend V w startowej kolorystyce (pokazywałem je ostatnio na moim IG) nie ma czegoś takiego w historii marki. A to po tylu latach robienia różnorakich korków nie jest łatwe.

Na zdjęciu pokazujemy wam to co zdaje się być najciekawsze, czyli Vapor XIII. Wydaje się, że w tej generacji Vapory zyskały na statusie i dla wielu są równorzędne, lub wręcz ciekawsze niż Superfly, które po po prpostu oferują niemal to samo, ale są droższe. Do najwyższego modelu z linii jeszcze wrócimy.

Było o nowych Neo II B w blackoucie, teraz pochylmy się jeszcze nad innym bardzo ciekawym modelem korków od Mizuno, mianowicie Rebula, które pojawią się w dwóch nowych kolorystykach.

Rebula swój rozwój przechodzi dość intensywnie. Nie pojawia się wiele odsłon kolorystycznych a generacje zdają się być wypuszczane szybko. Sam miałem w rękach pierwszą generację, drugiej nawet nie zdążyłem. Trzeba zaznaczyć, że kiedy wypowiadam się w pozytywnych słowach co do Rebuli to zawsze mam tu na myśli ekskluzywną wersję Made in Japan. Pamiętajcie!

Pierwszą kolorystyką, która nas interesuje jest złota. Barwa ta ma swoje tradycje, szczególnie w tym ""profilu" buta tej marki. Pamiętamy przecież (mam nadzieję, że wy też" podobne kompozycje w Wave Ignitus. To były ciekawe korki!

Konstrukcyjnie Rebule stają się być modelami po liftingu a nie nowymi generacjami, co tłumaczy trochę tempo. Front jest realizacją koncepcji nakładania skóry na syntetyczną podszewkę, co jest moim zdaniem bez sensu, ale tylko w wypadku tego modeli z uwagi na jakość skóry dostarcza wrażeń, którym można przyklasnąć.

Drugą kolorystyką jest stonowana, granatowa. Wizualnie nie porywa, pewnie was również. Od strony technicznej zwraca moją uwagę jeszcze zmiana stosunku syntetyku do skóry. W "V3" zdecydowanie więcej jest tego pierwszego co zapewne sprawia, że but jest lżejszy. 

Jakiś czas temu Mizuno wypuściło bardzo ciekawy model korków, mianowicie Morelia Neo II B. Przyjęliśmy je jako nową generację, szczególnie, że zmiana numerku na nazwą modelu przy nikłej ilości zmień jest u tego producenta standardem. Dziś mamy nowy przeciek i komentarz do nazewnictwa.

Mizuno wprowadzi na rynek blackouty Morelia Neo II B. But bardzo ciekawy. Przypomnijmy, że mamy tu do czynienia z odchudzoną cholewką oraz włóknem szklanym w podeszwie. Spodziewaliśmy się, że Neo II B zastąpi po prostu Neo II. Stąd nasze wątpliwości co do nazwy. Okazuje się, że standardowe Neo II będą wciąż wypuszczane co czyni z prezentowanych korków koncepcję w stylu SL adidasa.

Ciekawe to nawet. Podoba mi się postępowanie Mizuno i nawet to, że nie tłumaczą się, lub może ten marketing do naszych uszu nie dochodzi. Oczywiście temat Neo II jest bardzo mocno wyeksploatowany ale bardzo doceniam to co marka tu wykonała. 

Jakiś czas temu świat obiegła informacja o pojawieniu się kolejnego remake'u jednego ze starych, legendarnych korków adidasa. Jeśli o takich mowa to chyba nie ma lepszego obiekty do wskrzeszenia niż Predator Mania. Chociaż adidas działa w temacie intensywnie to wciąż pozostało sporo do wydania na nowo wskrzeszając nasze wspomnienia i pożądanie.

Mieli śmy już Manie w oryginalnej czerni, były też "szampańskie", czyli białe. Kolejne w kolejce są czerwone, które na tą chwilę w oryginalnej wersji z 2002 roku są mało spotykane. Jak widzicie odwzorowane będzie bardzo wiele, oczywiście będziemy tu mieli do czynienia z inną podeszwą. Całkiem fajne, jeśli już ją musimy zmienić jest to, że tu chyba będziemy mieli chromowy lakier. Myślę, że jest też całkiem spora szansa na prawdziwą skórę na cholewce tego rimejku.

Akurat to, czyli nawiązywanie do swojej świetnej historii adidas robi dobrze w przeciwieństwie do tworzenia teraźniejszości. Nawet jeśli chodzi o Manie to pozostają nam jeszcze Gunmetal oraz niebieskie, a kto wie czy ciekawym pomysłem nie jest też tworzenie nowych kompozycji albo chociażby blackoutu?

Kiedy buty pojawią się na rynku? To jest niestety owiane tajemnicą, ma się to jednak wg. przecieków stać do końca 2019 roku.

W tym miesiącu na rynku pojawi się jeszcze kilka ciekawych nowości. Jedną z nich jest prezentowana dziś nowa kolorystyka modelu Nike Phantom Venom. Jest to jedna z ikonicznych dla tematu futbolowego marki barw.

Nie sposób nie wspomnieć w tym miejscu Mercurial Vapor VIII czy też nawiązanie do owych w Superfly IV/Vapor X. Wszyscy komentują je jednak z uwagi na charakter buta jako nawiązanie do T90 Laser IV w tym samym kolorze. Była to specjalna edycja tego buta zrobiona z innych materiałów niż standardowo. Do kompletu były też żółte.

Do końca miesiąca nie zostało dużo, premiera jest już więc za zakrętem. Możecie się spodziewać również modelu Phantom Vision w podobnej barwie, nic nie wskazuje za to na pojawienie się Mercuriali i Tiempo.

Szybkie uzupełnienie do plejady przecieków korków marki New Balance. Podejrzewam, że do kompletu z pięknymi żółtymi Furon 5.9, które już wam pokazywałem pojawią się skórzane Tekela, które są głównie czarne, przyozdobione żółtymi elementami.

Polecam obejrzeć sobie film z serii TEPY TALK na naszym kanale na YouTube, w którym opowiadam o tym dlaczego TEKELA były najbardziej innowacyjnymi korkami roku 2018. Może na pierwszy rzut oka nie wyglądają ciekawie, ale na drugi z pewnością takie są.

Premier II są korkami, które wywarły na nas bardzo fajne wrażenie. Na dodatkową pochwałę i wyróżnienie zasłużyło po premierze (i kilka razy później to), że mamy w nich najtańszą opcję na podeszwę Anti-Clog. Jasne, niestety niewiele osób je kupuje, ale może w skali globalnej jest inaczej bo Nike nie zwalnia tempa i wciąż szykuje kolejne kolorystyki

Nierzadkie, zarówno w przypadku Nike jak i nas samych będą celowe lub przypadkowe skojarzenia z kolorystykami z linii Tiempo z przeszłości. Akurat ten odcień niebieskiego chyba nie pojawiał się w żadnej kompozycji, ale skojarzenie z "czwórkami" i tak będzie na miejscu.

Były też całkiem podobne Premier w pierwszej generacji. Jeśli ktoś gra sporadycznie i tamte są właśnie na wykończeniu to niezłym pomysłem może być pozostanie w barwach i wybranie po prostu nowej generacji.

Jedne z najfajniejszych korków na rynku pojawią się wkrótce w kolejnej odsłonie. Niedawno New Balance wypuściło specjalną edycję dla Sadio Mane, w jednym z poprzednich artykułów pokazywaliśmy też żółte Furony. NB ma dobry produkt i całe szczęście równie dobre tempo jeśli chodzi o kolorystyki.

Wiem, z tym "niebieskim" w tytule artykułu pozwoliłem sobie na luz, pewnie to jakiś karmazynowy, a może wchodząc w korkowe klimaty jakiś "aqua blue", bo często tak marki zwykły nazywać stosowane barwy. Kolor jest dość nietypowy jak na tepy, nie potrafię sobie przypomnieć podobnego na korkach, chociaż coś dość mocno zbliżonego pokazało kiedyś chyba Umbro.

Osobiście ta akurat odsłona podoba mi się tak sobie, natomiast jestem niesłabnącym zwolennikiem ostatnich produktów New Balance, bo zarówno ostatnie 3 odsłony Furon jak i Tekela (do nich jeszcze wrócimy) są jakościowo bardzo bardzo dobre!

Pamiętacie pierwszy przeciek wypuszczonej niedawno nowej generacji NEMEZIZ? Miała ona właśnie taki kolor. Był to nasz pierwszy kontakt z tymi korkami. Po jakimś czasie, kiedy adidas zdążył już wypuścić kilka odsłon tego buta wracamy do tematu.

Jak się słusznie spodziewacie nie mamy tu do czynienia z wersją topową, bo jak pamiętacie ta miała na podeszwie lakier. Zdjęcie pierwszego przecieku, o którym wspominałem prezentowało buty wyglądające znacznie lepiej.

Nie często wgłębiamy się w niższe półki jakościowe, ale na potrzeby artykułu zobaczyliśmy co tam adidas ma do zaoferowania. Okazuje się, że tepy z grafik powyżej to NEMEZIZ 19.3 I tu wszystko trzyma się kupy.

Ciekawostką są inne przecieki dostępne w sieci, na których widzimy te same korki (19.3) w wersji ze sznurowadłami, bo taka również przez niemiecką markę jest oferowana. Kołnierz na niej jest różowy, co jest dość nietypową różnicą. Ciekawe czy tak to wyjdzie ostatecznie, czy też mamy do czynienia z jakimiś samplowymi zawirowaniami?

Drugie prezentowane w artykule korki to oczywiście NEMEZIZ 19.1. Patrząc na te korki już bez perspektywy kolekcji przypomnijmy, że fajnie, że adidas nie odgrzał kotleta po raz trzeci i coś zmienił, jednak dziwimy się, że zmienił na minus. Nowym NEMEZIZ brak tej przytulającej stopę wewnętrznej części cholewki, którą oferowały poprzednie odsłony

Premiera nowych Mercuiali coraz bliżej, znamy już całkiem dużo przecieków przyszłych kolorystyk. Mówi się, że znamy tez już pierwszą edycję "specjalną", i oczywiście mowa tu o trochę innej specjalności niż w przypadku edycji dedykowanych piłkarzom.

W zasadzie nie wiem na czym owa specjalność miałaby tu polegać, bo designem korki te przypominają każde inne Merki z przyszłej generacji, ale jeśli faktycznie tak jest to kojarzą mi się z pomarańczowymi Superfly VI, które w ilości limitowanej zostały wypuszczone wkrótce po premierze poprzedniej odsłony. Mowa oczywiście o tych ze wzorem "safari".

Na początku myślałem, że korki z grafik to wersja najwyższa. Na szczęście tak nie jest, Legend VIII w odsłonie niebiesko-białej wyglądają lepiej, co nie zmienia faktu, że i tak nie za ciekawie. A jeśli ktoś nie ma kasy na to co najle... najdroższe, to już w ogóle na nowej serii nie ma na czym zawiesić oka.

Po rozeznaniu się na składzie nowej generacji z linii Tiempo w kolorystykach, które już wyszły uznaję, że mamy to do czynienia z modelem Academy. Chociaż... jak się okazuje, Nike nazywa je Tiempo Legend VIII Academy, co jest kolejną wiksą w nazewnictwie, która zasługuje na osobny akapit w artykule oceniającym nowe Tiempo. Ten być może znajdziecie już na stronie.

Katalogowo korki te kosztują 299 zł. Czyli w sklepie szybko pewnie około 240. Cóż, z drugiej strony jest to but tani, ale jeśli pomyśle sobie, że można za te pieniądze wyhaczyć (i tu na szybko sprawdziłem, czy aby na pewno) Tiempo Legend V to decyzja jest prosta. Zresztą... dla mnie tak samo byłoby gdyby porównać do "piątek" i tą najwyższą półkę.

With summaries of the 2019 I've waited till the end of the year. Who knows if one of the brands wouldn't surprise us with something the we didn't expect? We will publish another article about cleats tat were the most beautiful ones, but the most important category is the best boot of 2018. Sure, this year I didn't have every model on my feet, but my experience mixed with opinions of players that wore certain products make me confident that I can certainly make a decision and pick that one cleat. You know me, when it comes to quality I don't make mistakes.

Many times already I said that a strong competitor at the end of the year that just passed will be the boot that we surely wouldn't bet on when asked in late 2017. Not so long ago neither the brand or it's products could be considered more than just a point on "others" list. They surely weren't important when it comes to true quality boots that we would be interested in. Yes, we have to admit that the previous generation of Furon (the 3.0) was a bright light at the end the tunnel, but these lights tend to disappear rather than give us something more in the following future.

And here we have a very big surprise. After a horrible start (especially for someone who considers lack of quality mixed with lot of marketing as something really terrible) in 2018 New Balance released two very good products. Both were discussed in our TEPY TALK YT series. Sorry, it's only in Polish:) Of course, the brand's progress isn't the point here because you cal learn very much and still don't make best products. But that's not the case here.

As it frequently is, half of the success is no to mess up. It seems easy, but how many times we've seen many companies fail even in this. It seems that New Balance has a new group of people responsible for their football boots that knows what and how to do to make great things. Because of that in my opinion, the New Balance Furon 4.0 is the best football boot of 2018! First of all, there's nothing wrong with them! In theory it's a light type cleat that got couple of (not too much!) extra parts and few innovations, that are real, interesting and never seen before.

For me quality if a sport boots is the top priority, that's why the looks will be discussed in a separate article. I know, that Furon 4.0 will also have a strong position there! From the performance side of things we have just advantages. A thin upper that has control elements that make it thinner, not thicker, is giving us proper ball feel and control. So simple, and so rare! The lacing system and tongue are also very clever. It's inner side material helps holding our feet in proper position. With all elements in the right places there is nothing that would ruin our impression like the blistering heel in the adidas NEMEZIZ did.

At the end some final thoughts. Many could say that Nike's Mercurials were very popular and we see many players using them, so maybe my judgement is wrong. I have to say, that in case of Mercurials a strong factor for me was that for three generations Nike didn't do really nothing new and is serving us pretty much the same thing over and over. Looking at this it's hard not to be happy with whet New Balance did. It's just great to see a new good boot! But even without that, i see the distance between Furon 4.0 and all the rest very noticeable. At the end I really advice that you buy the Furon 4.0, that is if they have that one more thing that is important - if you like them. Remember, that quality is the most important thing and by picking it you force the brands to make good boots, not just to warm up what we many times already saw..

Excitement that is in the air now because of the premiere of new X boot will last for some time, but on the horizon we already have something more. Every model from time to time gets something unusual, a special release that features a idea that we don't normally have in the serial releases. It seems that we have a leak of a first boot like that.

Here we have a sole plate of the upcoming X18. It's hard to say which level that is, but it surely is unusual. Normally the X18 has a solid color mix. Here we have a black-white pixel design. Maybe it's somehow related to the Telstar World Cup ball that also have pixels? We see that the bottom part of the upper is black. We are very curious about the rest if it!

Recently Nike shows quite a lot unique boots. Of course one we have on our minds as first are the special NIKEiD versions of the Mercurial. But that's not the end. Recently we saw one more. Nike created a special version of the Superfly VI for Carli Lloyd.

The reason for that is a special achievement. Carli, who is a long-time woman's US National Team hero scored her 100'th goal for the red, white and blue. Nike noticed that and gave her a pair of special Mercurials. Not just the colorway is unusual, it also has a custom made swooch and ID related to Carli and the achievement. This boot unfortunately won;t be available to buy as the recent special Hypervenoms for Kane were.

In this article we won't present a new colorway. What you see isn't a black and white boot, it's a black and white image. By looking at it we know that what we have here is one of future woman's releases of the new-old NEMEZIZ.

Just as the previous one, these have a external heel counter. This element is something that differentiated cleats for ladies from the man's ones many times in the past. When we saw them our first thought was about the first woman's coloray of the new X18. We wonder how that one will look like?

The X18 is surely interesting in two top versions but many of you are wondering about the lower ones and different sole options. This will be important especially before the next school year which is always a time (and good opportunity) to ask you parents for a new model.

Today we have a first glimpse of what is coming in the X line. Here we have a X18.3. We have to say, that for this level the boot looks really good. We also expect it to be a serial colorway because brand don't make blackouts of models like that. This is definitely something to consider in the near future!

Few articles back we showed you a orange NEMEZIZ 18.1. As you know the brand will bring back few of last-year's colorways in the new generations. As we complained many times, the 18 is not much different then the 17. Only model that makes a difference is the 18+.

As you know it has a collar and this orange colorway is the first one that we can show it to us in detail. It's just another way of putting a collar on the boot, design is matching the worthless bandage design, that's it. For us this is a gimmick and to be honest the boot now just doesn't look good.

The previously presented 18.1 looked way better. Sure many will go for it, but this collar with not changing the boot vary much is a big negative for us. Thank god that what's valuable in this boot is inside. That is if adidas won't decide that to change that. We know that they taken away one of good things in a boot before. We mean the flexible stripe in Copa 17, that is missing on the 18.

After taking a look at the top model (in one of our previous articles) here is the X18.1. Differences between this one and the most expansive one were easy to predict. No shiny coating on the sole and no laceless upper. But when we look at them we obviously see more.

The back part is black and the design is obviously missing bit of that magic that we saw previously. It seems that adidas is trying to make more difference between two top levels than they did previously. Thing we think about writing this is the... Predator! Especially the quality. We see the 18.1 way worse than the 18+. Previously the difference wasn't so big.

Here its even more obvious tat adidas X became the F50 once again. The TPU frame on the front is really noticeable. We think that they will be decent, but the 18+ will take all the glory in that line. Looking at these we wonder what modifications will Bale have in his boot. He always does!

At last we have the chance to look at the upcoming adidas premiere in details. And even on the boot that interests us the most. By saying that we mean of course the X18+. At the point we are writing this we know, that when you are reading these may be on the market. And this means that we are surely getting them in our hands soon to give you our first hands-on thoughts.

This is a change in relation to the X18+. At last. The boot looks great. The upper, sole, even the colorwy from the World Cup Energy Pack are beautiful. All seems to be well thought through. In case of a boot like that, so a speed boot, which wasn't obvious in previous generations, there's really not much to talk about. Because the beauty of this model lays in it's simplicity.

The value will be recognised after we will try them on. adidas knows how to make a boot special without even saying about it. NEMEZIZ is a good example. When it comes to what matters the most, functionality, these can go both ways. Be marvellous or a mistake. Whet do you think, which will it be?

World Cup will surely be the arena of many boot spotting. When we think of the last one we remember Didier Drogba with a carbon sole plate on his Vapor X. In the meantime recently we had some interesting spotting also in the Vapor model. Maybe not as spectacular as Drogba's boots, but still worth of mentioning.

First of all Kuba Błaszczykowski. We like to write about him because a you know (or not) we are from Poland. Few times in history Kuba was spotted in something interesting and here he is again. This time it seems that this isn't a Nike modification. Probably Błasczykowski himself cut the tongue area in his Vapor XII. It's weird, that Nike didn't deliver a matching pair. Or maybe it's a quick fix that had to be done because of a small injury?

Second is Luka Modrić. As you can see the Croatian has a unusual tongue in his Vapor XII. That is he has one. It seems that the normal knitted area is replaced by a standard solution. Both of the examples are interesting but what we are interested in is the sole of Nike's star boots. This mid-foot area that is too flexible is still in our heads. We wonder if stars get boots that have something extra in the sole to forbid a tragedy?

This will be the most exciting subject for the nearest weeks. Nike is ending Magista and starting a new line. We called it FTR10, in the meantime it turned out that Nike might have changed it. For now we know that the top model will be called Phantom Vision. Or at least is supposed to. You already had some publications about it on TEPY.PL

Today we have some new photos of it. Revealing few detials that we just have to talk about. First of all, if what we have here is a top version of the boot, it won't be a laceless model. You can see laces coming out of the upper. We have to say that it is really disappointing to see that Nike copies adidas here, because you can't expect people not to link what you have here with the system used in X16+ and X17+. It's say do see that especially when adidas, which seems to be on the lead now isn't doing anything great either.

There's the colorway. A white/red one. In theory we saw it but let's remember, that boots from previous leaks looked grey and that Nike is planning to release two very similar collections. Maybe we will get the new model in not one, but two of them? That's a probable scenario when we keep in mind that we saw just one leak of Nike Magista Obra.

There is lot that we don't know about. Lack of innovation in one negative thing, but we can have also many positives and we probably will. Remember, that the biggest advantage of NEMEZIZ is something that you can't see and even the brand doesn't talk about. Phantom Vision can surprise us with something and we re surely waiting to see if we will find something like that.

Last thing that we would like to point out is the design. The boot looks really good. It's something fresh and what we see surely macthes the brand and is something that we would expect, at least from the visual point of view. We also remember, that before the premiere of Magista Obra in Barcelone w didn't have a clue that Nike is planning something else than a standard Opus. So maybe also here there's something that we don't know about?

It turns out that we won't get two bright collections from Nike (two white ones were already a surprise) but three! New leaks are coming and pieces of the story are falling into right places. Last week we showed you a third Mercurial. A one with a silver, almost white upper. Today we have a Tiempo, which we haven't seen before.

Till now we presented two other Tiempo colorways. One of the just got released. Both had blue, one also that nearly-white silver colour that mixed with white with a gradient. It seems that this one will be a match with the last-weeks silver Superfly, and here we have a boot for the second white collection from Nike.

What will be the order? Just days ago Nike made that bit more simple releasing the World Cup collection that was called the "Just Do It" pack. So what's next? The one with silver or one we have above?

Yes! We have them. It's one of that few moments in the year when we can be really happy and proud to deliver what every football boots enthusiast likes the most. New model, a very exciting one, before the premiere and in a very special colorway. What we have for you today is the upcoming (we hope we will make it before the premiere) new top version of the new X line generation, the X18+. The colorway is a blackout. This is one of the pairs that you saw during last weeks on the feet of adidas contract players on trainings. This rare product will enable us to give you our first opinion about a cleat that many expect lot from.

So how are they? We will surely repeat many observation and statements that we wrote looking at leaked pictures, but this time we will tell you whether we were right or wrong. Model that we have here has no laces. Ind it really does. The stretching part of the upper isn't the same thing as we had in the Ace Purecontrol or top level Preds. Inside we have a thin layer of knitted material, but on the outside we have a second layer, something very thin, making the upper water-proof, and at the same time noticeably less stretchable than what you might expect. That said, we have to point out that still putting these on stays pretty unproblematic for someone who puts a little thought to it.

The upper looks like a one-piece synthetic, but when you look closer you will see that there's lots going on. We have a TPU stripe making the boot stiffer when it should be by a frame going around the front. Then there's a flexible zone, maybe not as thin as we gad in the EvoSpeed SL, but that's for a reason. You know what would it be if you played in the SLs (little less in the SL-S's:)). Beneath the outside layer we see many lines. They look like veins under the skin. In different zones we have them in different amount. Thanks to that the upper gets differentiated stiffness. It sounds good, looks very good, gives us pretty good results, but we think that it isn't perfect. The outside part seems to be bit loose. It would benefit from moving the three stripes to the centre part, but at the end we still thing that it won't be a crucial negative.

The whole collar part is very interesting. Kind of new, maybe but similar only to the Ace 17.1L, raising questions. Something that we discovered with disappointment is a pad on the back of the boot. You will find it on photos. Every time a brand had w genius idea to make something like that it was a mistake. The leader was... Nike! With the Vapor III, IV, Legend VII. Every time problems. We asked a person who had this size to put them on and tell how he feels. It turns out, that first impression about that element is good. What can give blisters, it the high back part. We would be careful with judgments on both of these elements, however we think that if something may fail, it's this.

The big positive about these it that they gad what's was a sensation in the NEMEZIZ and is on the top Predator. At the same time the thing that adidas doesn't talk about, because marketing gimmicks are more important. The inner cushioning. Very thin, but at the same time soft and just enought. It makes the boot lock your foot inside and is crucial, especially for this model!

For a long time we didn't had a sole that would look so nice. There's no point talking about the stud configuration. It's hard to be surprised by that. Sure, in the past adidas had these shiny soles that would be great if only the effect was permanent and wouldn't come off. Without that, we saw them as boring ad something not relating to boot's design. Here it's a pleasure to look at it. Shiny here, mat there, Flat and with holes. There's lots going on and it makes the whole product seem like a complete project.

And that's what it is. If we imagine a person sitting to design them, we think that many times he asked himself - is this it? Can I do more? Yes! And he did. Can I do more? Yes! And he did. And finally he just felt that it's ended. This is it. And thank got that this designer was one of those who didn't just study design, but he also played football. Or at least knew what the game is about. Because these are both good looking, and pretty promising when it comes to quality. You really have to do got to deserve a paragraph like that from us. So well done adidas!

And here they are. Last week Nike released a new football boots collection. When we wrote articles about leaks we mentioned, that if Nike won't release something on the days it won't till the World Cup. And they did. This is the World Cup collection. Well, at least Nike says it is.

All boots that we have here you already saw. This pack is one of those that will be remembered. Just like most of white cleats are. We have some noticeable changes in all lines. First of all the new Mercurials, Hypervenoms, Tiempo's and Magista have shiny soles. The effect that we have here surely will be linked to what we got during last years from adidas. We guess that it's just a World Cup Extra. Let it be.

If we would pick the boot that we like the most it would ba a difficult task. Many would say Mercurial, especially because it's the newest one. For us it isn't obvious, and these great NIKEiD designs that are now available surely stay in the way to greatness for the serial release. Surprisingly, the best for us is the Magista, which we expect to be ended. Hypervenom is also very nice, however it isn't necessarily one of our favorite cleats.

We have to say that we are bit surprised. We thought, that if Nike will release something now, it won't be the World Cup pack. It's still al long way to go. That makes us think that maybe there will be a change during the tournament? Leaks of other white cleats that will be released and the fact that it would be a great thing to promote the new line rises conspiracy theories. It would be logistically hard to do that, because players would have to change cleats during the most important period of the year, but hey, everything is possible. Just Do it!:)

Somehow we are not as excited about the collection as we thought we would be. The X18 from adidas seems to be a bigger deal. Maybe that's because Nike slowed down, and releasing boots once in few months just made us calm down and loose the hype? It might be.

In one of our last articles we presented one of future NEMEZIZ 18.1 colorways that was nearly exactly the same as the orange one we had in stores last year. That's not the end. Adidas will do that not once. We have another example.

One of absolutely most beautiful variations of last year was the green one, which was a alternative release and we haven't seen much of it. Now it will come back in the so-called next generation and this time it also won't be serial.

This time it will be a Messi edition. This answers our question from few weeks back about what's the future of Messi boots. He will still get his own colorways and this one is one of them. Looking good!

Last-years orange adidas NEMEZIZ football boost colorway was a pretty important one. First of all at the point it was released we were impressed by the quality of the boot. The variation looked great and we also had samples of those so we could show you a comparison.

Last week we complained about adidas doing pretty much nothing with the NEMEZIZ 18, especially the 18.1. Today in theory we have more reasons to complain but... we won't. Because we actually like what adidas is planning. In few months we will get the second gen NEMEZIZ in a colorway vary familiar to what we had last year. Small changes in the design but the base stays the same. Plus a special effect on the three stripes.

It's kind of a re-release. Normally, for example like Nike did with the Mercurials, colorway that are brought back are those from years back. adidas did it differently and we think that it's acceptable and good. If the colorway was not a beautiful one it would be bad. But this looks great!

This article sums up some of recent leaks of the Mercurials. We had a Vapor XII in this colorway, we also had a mysterious, similar variation of the Superfly VI. We still don't know what they were, but by the number of leaks of what we have for you today is seems that his is the way that Nike will go with Mercurial for the World Cup.

We showed them many times and we don't like to repeat ourselves. What we will point out is another change in design in comparison to what we know since the premiere. The new placement of swoosh, but also the lack of that big "M" on the back. What will replace it?

The triangle that you see is something that Nike will use to customize the boots for their star players. It will be replaced with flags and special ID. We suppose that this will be also a special option that will be added to NIKEiD, probably along with some new designs.

To be honest this boot that we will show you today was something that we knew for some time now, but had a problem to classify them. They are unusual, aren't they? Recently we got something similar in the NikefootballX re-release of the Ronaldinho Dois. But that's not it. It seems, that Nike is planning to release something new.

Remember, that we complained about how the indoor Tiempo looks in the leak of the white/blue colorway? This may be the answer. This boot is the indoor version of the Premiere II. First ever, a big surprise, and also something that we expect a lot from.

As you know the Premiere II is a great boot. Good quality, not very expensive and giving the possibility to get Anti-Clog cleats without spending a fortune. Nike is planning to go further with this model. It's funny, because here we don't even have the line name. It's just Premier. So we are not sure if calling them PremiereX is the right thing to do.

This week has been dominated by leaks of Nike football boots. That's unusual, because for over a year now the Americans have been the ones that knew how to keep a secret. Today however, we have also something from adidas. Which boot is the upcoming pack we haven't seen yet? Of course the Copa!

When you think about which model from adidas can be the one that has the power to look interesting, the Copa is the last one you would think of. And yet, here it is. We don't like the new NEMEZIZ, X18 is pretty nice, but not mind blowing, Predators look great but this one is surely the biggest surprise. The mix of colors looks astonishing and too bad, that not many players wear the Copa because we would love to see this one many times on the Russian fields.

If you are a fan of modern, flashy boots, but you were thinking to try out leather ones , this is your way to go and it probably won't get better than this. Thankfully adidas offers decent quality leather in these so you get the whole package. We are really surprised with these. It turns out, that with two new generations of boots the best job has been done with one that you would expect the least of.

Recently we presented a leak of Nike Hypervenom Finale II which was heavily modified on comparison to what we have in stores today. Here is another model that is probably a part of the World Cup collection. The white and blue TiempoX Proximo

The current TiempoX in the top version is a good example of a IN or TF boot by Nike that gave us a way better impression in the previous generation. The TF version of Legend VI was a great leather quality boot, and this one even looks cheap.

In this case unfortunately Nike didn't make any changes and we get it in the same form we already knew. There is of course the new colorway, but surprisingly even this doesn't make much difference. Sure, many of you may like it and we are very happy for you, but we ourselves are bit skeptical.

We just thought that we have everything figured out about the Mercurial line for the World Cup, and here comes a leak that raises some questions. As you know the upcoming new speed Nike's are supposed to be white and orange. So what is this?

Here we have a Superfly VI, in theory in the same colorway as the World Cup one, but with extra silver, the "M" on the heel (which was absent in the tournament boot) and the Swoosh placed not in the middle of the upper, but on the front. We also have the AG plate here, but that probably isn't relevant.

We are really confused about Nike plans, and it's probably a good thing because it seems that we can expect more than we thought. We guess that the worst scenario here is that this is a sample, that will turn out to look as the leaks we showed before. However this would still be great because there would be a new rare boot to get. Which one do you like more? This one or the one we showed before?

In this article we won't just show you the upcoming World Cup Vapors. It's time to sort things out about upcoming Nike football boots, especially this whole mess with two versions of white cleats. Previously we thought that the tournament silo will have two versions, and first Mercurials will be white and blue.

It seems that it's the other way around. The World Cup Mercurial, according to many sources its this one. The white and orange, which has the same chrome Swoosh as the Hypervenom and Magista that you saw in our previous articles this week. Also more and more leaks of this variation prove, that this one if the first to come.

White Mercurials are one of these that stay in our minds bit longer than other colors. The white Vapor II, III, Superfly IV. But there were also some that has been forgotten. Remember second colorway of the Vapor VIII? We feel that this one will be a part of the first group soon. Hopefully because of some great things that we will see in Russia.

The current generation of Hypervenom as well as new Mercurials look nice, however we feel that there is something that went wrong when it comes to their "X" versions, the IN and TF. Somehow they don't seem to be as exciting as previous releases like the first gen MercurialX Proximo, etc. It looks like Nike is planning to do something about that.

What we have here is a leak of one of future Hypervenom colorways. It surely is nice, first thing that comes to our minds is the similarity to upcoming World Cup collections, especially with small green details that we have here, and which links these to the FG version. When you look closer you realize, that there is lot more than just the color.

The upper is heavily modified. Front stayed the same, but after that we have a new material that makes the boot lighter, more breathable and way better looking. A pretty simple change, but with that new variation it makes the HypervenomX Finale II way better than what we had previously. Good work!

Just as we promised in our last article, in which we presented what is expected to be the last ever Magista Obra, here is the non-DF version of Hypervenom Phantom III. This is of course the colourway that we expect to see on our TV screens when we will watch the World Cup in Russia.

We didn't had many white Hypervenoms in their third generation, that is of course because the flyknit, which we have lot more in the top-end DF version. Only one that comes to our mind is the white/blue. When we think about that we see that these new models, as well as the Fire and Ice collection don't feature that two-side upper. They have just one main color that makes them look fresh.

As you know the colorway that will come after this one, the red/grey one will not have the Nike Swoosh on the front, so it's not the end of changes. And that's still not all. Nike is planning to make some special customizations for the World Cup. More on that soon.

Many times we talked about the upcoming, probably last Magista Obra II. Two reasons for which a boot that is on a market so long can gather such a attention are a big tournament and the fact that we are expecting a replacement. These gives us both.

The Russian World Cup will be the stage of the end of the Magista line. It was presented in March 2014 before the World Cup in Brazil and will be ended after the next one. As you know Nike is planning to release a completely new line. Till now we are not sure about the name, rumors say that the top model will be called the Phantom Vision.

The last Magista Obra II will be a mix of white, red and chrome, which we will see on the swoosh, and which will be seen in all Nike World Cup models. Something extra is a shiny pearl coating on the sole, that we also seen in the leak of white/green Nike Hypervenom Phantom III DF. We will show you that boot in a non-DF version in one of our next articles.

Puzzles seem to fall into right pieces. In our article about the white/red Tiempo Legend VII we wrote that there will probably be two white Nike collections. One for the World Cup, and one after it, the one that will feature a new line replacing Magista. This time however we will get back to the Hypervenom line.

Yes, we know. It's not white but gray. But didn't we wrote the same about the first leak of Phantom Vision (FTR10) colorway? This gray color is surely a link to the new, exciting model from Nike. Along with these change comes also a change in the design. Notice, that now the new Hypervenom Phantom III both in the DF and standard versions has only one swoosh on the heel. The one on the front disappeared.

It looks great that way. You have to admit that the clear zone on the front of the boot looks good Only thing that is negative is the thought that these will probably be presented after the World CUp and they would surely fit our Polish kit, especially on the feet of the man that we expect lot of. Robert Lewandowski.

Here we go again with the World Cup! What did we already seen? The Mercurial? Yes, even in two colorway. In one of our last articles we showed you a white Hypervenom and f course we have the white Magista Obra II and... the white Phantom Vision that were previously called the FTR10. So... it seems that there will be not one, but two editions of white Nike boots.

Today we have a white/red future Tiempo and as you know there already was a similar one, a mix of white and blue. If there won't be a woman's collection. That's good. We will never complain about too many cleats. We are also glad that the base color for duplicated collections is white.

Especially when it comes to this line. Many first editions of Tiempo Legend VII were black, we had to wait a long time to get something in color. Classic boots are mainly black, but also white has it's place, especially thanks to Ronaldinho. Who know what legends will be born in these during the upcoming World Cup?

Few years back cleats like that would be a sensation but we guess that now pretty much everyone is used to custom products made by more and more people who do such work. Not every time we write about them but we think that now we have to. Because these are something that we really like.

Tigran Barseghyan is a player of Wardar Skopie. Not really a athlete that you had to hear of but if you are a cleat-fanatic that will surely change. He's called the Armenian Hulk and that's obviously what guy called "Swithadot" focused here. The base is obviously the Nike Mercurial Superfly V, probably from the Pitch Dark collection.

We have to admit, this work is really impressive, You need not just a great artistic execution but also a idea that would finally look good when put on a upper. This one surely does. Congratulations to Swithadot and we with the Armenian Hulk a good season so that we would be able to see him and his boots in action more often.

In one of our last articles we presented a leak of Nike Premier II. Not a popular one like Mercurial or any of the leading ones, more something that's kept on the side, but for us a valuable product that is worth of mentioning. That's why we do it again.

Here you have a leak of a whiteout. We know that there will be a blackout, probably with the next Academy Pack, and here's something that at the same time is a contrast and a match to them. Yes, we also see it, maybe it's a question of light but they seem to have a pearl shade. Maybe that's their thing? It would surely be interesting.

If you're a long-time fan of TEPY.PL you remember, that once was a year when we presented nearly 10 adidas football boots that were planned, but never released. As far as we know, that is as far as leaks prove that this brand produces the biggest numbers of samples that stay just samples.

Today we have one of this boots for you. It's the first generation of Ace, the Ace 15.1 in synthetic version. It was supposed to be called the "Ice Pack. It's obvious not because of the color but the design featuring ice cubes. This is one of four upper options that this model was available in. There was the standard synthetic, leather, Primeknit and a leather-synthetic that not many remember about.

Existence of these is a interesting fact and we're surprised, but at the same time happy to see them so long after the generation has been replaced by another. The fact that they were produced a samples tells us, that probably there was a matching X 15.1, that as you may remember was a model that was bit more exciting.

Few days back Nike showed how great they can relate to the past, especially to big tournaments that we all remember. We're talking about the famous old Mercurials designs that now are available on NIKEiD. In one paragraph of that article we mentioned not the World Cup, but the European Championship of 2008. And here we do that again.

What we have for you today is a leak of future Nike Premier II colorway. It has a black upper, but, what's more important, a blue sole. What does it remind you of? If you are old enough and into cleats it has to bring back memories of famous E8 collection. It were all Nike series, so for that year the Mercurial, Tiempo and T90 that was released in leather upper versions. With that, there also were special carbon Elite versions, but that's another story.

Nike Premiere isn't a very important boot now but with colorways like that and good price/quality relation it hits our headlines from time to time. We surely admire what Nike does and hope that they will continue to do so.

When it comes to adidas and Nike it seems that we already know pretty much all there is to know about boots that are meant to be released for the biggest tournament of this year. You have already seen the Predator colorway but now is the first time that we can show them to you in the top version.

There is a pretty big difference between the 18.1 and 18+ when it comes to quality. Despite them both being pretty similar when it comes to the visual side, our perception is still very different. We thought that if we saw the 18.1, the one that is more expensive won't be impressive. But we were wrong.

The colorway is pretty sick. It's meant to be like that. People like flashy to the proper and only way to release something that will be popular is gist giving it to them. As you know the main thing to shine in this version is the sole. It's covered with a shiny coating, this time with not one, but two gradients that make the boots leek really great. We feel that in few months when the prices drop this one will be the one that we will test.

You already know that the new NEMEZIZ generation won't be much different from the first one just as X16 was very similar to the X17. Few days back we presented the first known serial colorway which was blue. Today we will answer few questions of those who don't wont to spent a lot on 18+ or 18.1 version.

The gimmick in the new 18+, only thing that will make them look different is a unusual collar. It turns out that it will be gone in the 18.1, but will come back in cheaper versions. Of course this part of the boot has more a visual value than practical, but as we all know collars sell, so that's why adidas did it that way.

We also look when things look nice if only they serve us well, so we guess that if this condition will be fulfilled it's ok. In today's article we present what we think is the 18.3 version in FG as well as the TF.

This is clearly a answer to Nike's DF editions of cheap models like Victory etc. A bit late reaction, kind of like Puma's with the collar at FUTURE, but from the financial point of view we guess that its's rational. Of course, money in more important than our opinion and respect:)

In one of our last articles we presented lower-versions of the upcoming NEMEZIZ. Not really that interesting because adidas was lazy with it and didn't change much. That was also the case with X line year back, but the upcoming X18 will be different. Today we will show you few levels of cleats from it

The top one is the 18+ which has no laces. We showed it few times before but today we will miss it and start with 18.1. We commented it as the return of adizero, which is pretty obvious. The boot has a synthetic upper, laceless design and a external heel counter. In a way it reminds us of the Ace 17.1L, especially when it comes to the back part. But this models is surely not the most interesting one for those of you who came here.

The X18.2 seems to feature the same upper material that we have in the higher model. As in most cases, also here the first difference to spot is a sole without the external heel counter. Biggest difference (when it comes to construction) is probably the whole back area and the way that the upper meets out feet. It still a tongue less boot, but with many changes (except the main green one) made to the materials.

The X18.3 looks pretty decent. When can be a good thing os that also here we don't have a classic tongue, what makes the boot look not so different from the more expensive versions. The upper material changes, as well as every outer one. Also the lacing system is modified to one that isn't as sophisticated, but still not the simplest one that we could imagine. Of course the stud placement stays exactly the same as it was in the top model, but flexibility may be way different.

The last oen is as always the 18.4. Here we have some nice surprises. No classic tongue and most of all the sole plate, that features still the same stud configuration. As far as we remember standard for this level is a complete change of the plate. Here we see another progress made by adidas. The shape of the upper still imitates what the clients expect to see but obviously uses cheap materials and ways to put all together. Still, for this level (and surely price) we are surprised in a positive way.

Not so long ago we wrote a article about few future colorway of a boot called by many the Puma ONE 19. It's the next generation of a boot that had its premiere not so long ago. Today we decided to do the same with next variations of the second Puma boot.

It's the FUTURE netfit that we already saw in few some interesting colors including special Griezmann's edition. What we have here is interesting also because boots feature a rare (at least on our home market) AG sole plates.

The black one is pretty good but not as good as blackouts that we saw before the official first serial colorway. The ones with green laces. DO you remember? And it's also hard to be excited about them when you see the second, orange one. Isn't it?
The one that we are most excited about is the chrome one. We love the color and love the combination. We guess that you could call the knitted part "mint". The AG place doesn't harm them and because it's not often we see it makes them even kind of attractive.

This one is also silver but the navy blue makes them totally different than the one we showed above. on one hand calm, on the other we don't expect them to be seen on feet of players who really don't like to be flashy. Do you share our thoughts? What is your favorite?

Copa surely isn't the most interesting model made by adidas. In a way they can blame themselves. Leather boots are not something that is popular. And if you take a model like that and release it in a "new generation" and not change much, no wonder that the interest didn't stay on the previous level.

Recently we showed you few of the upcoming colorways in NEMEZIZ line. There will be some blue, and this new leak of future Copa 18.1 colorway seems to match what we saw earlier. Do you see anything unusual about them? Look at the three black stripes on the side. Do you see that colourful effect?

In one of last articles we presented a black Predator 18+ with something similar. We had no clue when it will be released, but we think that now we have one. Somewhere near the premiere of white and blue collection that will feature the new NEMEZIZ and X18.

As you know oa one point of the year Puma will release a completely new ONE model and make some changes in the FUTURE that we consider to be just a visual "lifting". Today we are presenting a leak of one of future colorways of that boot. A black/gold one.

Not often we see gold boots, and when we do we expect them to be great. This color can't be used to models that are poor, be a special editions for players that are not phenomenal (phenomenal... does that ring a bell?:)) etc. Do you think that Puma FUTURE deserves to get that colorway?

Well, it's not all gold so it also doesn't have to be that marvelous. Thing is, that we ourselves didn't test the FUTURE, but we didn't heard a bad thing about them. We surely like how they look and this variation make the impression even bigger. What do you think?

Not so long ago we had a beautiful black Predator. It was a model that we wrote many positive things about. Not just because the 18+ seems to be a really good boot but also because we like what adidas did there. You could see them as a blackout, but even fans of all-black cleats said that this little silver assent on the heel was something that was just OK.

It turns out that it's not the end of adidas black collections. As you know Nike id preparing to release the Academy Pack once again and maybe this is the reason to make another one. Above you see the Predator 18+ that may be a single release or a part of a whole pack. Obviously, the thing about them is the multi-color accent that we will see on the stripes. Looks interesting.

When we think about Nike future colorways first thing that comes on out mind are the white ones and the re-release of Academy Pack that as you know is also expected. But let's not forget, that we also had few leaks of navy blue boots. Today we're just reminding you that fact with a leak of HypervenomX Finale. When you share our taste it isn't the most exciting perspective, but it will surely find its fans. For now a desired leak from this collection would be the Magista. Lack of it is also a interesting thing... if you know what we mean?

Did you saw the article about upcoming new generation of Furon 4.0 from New Balance? Of not you should definitely go back few articles and check it out. The reason for which we mention that is that the new Furon will probably be released really soon. The reason for us to think so is the launch colorway of the upcoming completely new model named TEKELA which we talked about many times.

Here it is again. We look at them and know, that really we have no clue about what is the concept of this boot. What they are supposed to be according to their creators. Sure, a football boot, but what kind? New Furon will be pretty much a speed-boot, so what's this. We are really curious of this product.

The release date is surely somewhere around the World Cup. Unfortunately for now NB does not have many players wearing these but we hope and expect, that they will really turn out to be good, we won't be disappointed and things will progress.

For us this isn't a important article but we guess that some of you might be interested. We got some pictures showing the low-end Mercurials in colorway that is expected to be the one for the World Cup.  As history shows, these will be the ones that we will see on every field out there.

Phantom is still here! We know about a leak of a new model that will replace Magistas (the Phantom Vision) and expect, that next that will be changed is the third Hypervenom. Every leak of a new colorway pushes the premiere of a new one further. We like premieres but with colorways like that we can wait bit longer.

The new leak of future Nike Hypervenom Phantom III DF football boots shows us a nice white/green colorway. There are few things to notice here. First of course is the sole. Nike follows adidas and makes it shiny just as in X17+ or NEMEZIZ 17+. Did you thought of something when you saw them? Yes, the special, limited edition EA sports Phantom III DF from few months back.

Another things are these stripes forming a triangle on the heel. We guess that this is something corresponding to the design of new Mercurial generation. Once again we are really surprised to see white flyknit in football boots. We guess that there's not much more to do and Nike is giving us every last option that is there to show.

What will be the future of Messis boots when the next generation of NEMEZIZ will appear? This could be the question one would ask if he cared so much. The answer was partially answered by the previous leak of the blue colorway of NEMEZIZ 18.1. Will there be a separate Messi boot? Will adidas modify it even more than it was changed in the "17". No. Everything stays the way it was.

It's hard to say anything positive in a article in which you present a new generation when the only thing new is the name. Why bother? Just leave the 17.1! We had a similar story last year when the German brand released the X17 after the X16 that was a really similar boot. There however, we had some differences. At least minimal, still  a illusion, but they were.

Today we clearly don't have humor to be good politicians and one of those blogs that would be excited and clap their hands. That's a joke from adidas.

Here is the second leak of adidas NEMEZIZ 18+. Surprised? We already showed it once in a FG version but the picture quality back then was really bad. Here we have a better one, but, unfortunately, it's a TR version. We like, even love the TR version of these ones but of course also in this case we don't like that not much has changed.

Yes, we see, the collar is different. We had a change like that many times since Nike released the first Magista Obra and that does not really do the trick for us. We even like the shape a lot, but the new NEMEZIZ is still a fail for us and it will be for some time, at least till we will forget that this is a new generation.

There is also a time to talk about the colors. We think that they are really great, both the blue one which we already presented on NEMEZIZ 18.1, as well as the Messi one. Simple, but nice, especially to the Argentinean shirt and when you think of very similar (in terms of color) Messi 15.1.

As a site that stays for quality and not doing things that make no sense we should really write more about New Balance, that seems to really know what they are doing for some time now. Many good words were said about the Furon 3.0, in few weeks we should get the new TEKELA, now there's another leak of a boot that seems to be ok. The Furon 4.0.

A new generation so quickly? Yes! In a world in which Nike releases a new boot once in every 1,5 year, adidas pretends to release a one by just changing the name and not doing much more New Balance will probably put the new Furon 4.0 on shelves before the first birthday of the 3.0. Way before!

We already had the first player to wear them. It was Liverpool's Sadio Mane. He had beautiful whiteouts. We like them not just because of a great colorway, they actually look good and of course that ID that he has makes the bit more special. Dear New Balance could you Please send us a pair of his whiteouts?:)

So what the boot is about? Minimalism would be a good word. A synthetic upper, pretty clear, probably thin. A point in which NB managed to create a model that we consider to be a speed-boot with everything in its place. And yes, that do it with all these things that "have to be" in a cleat now days, a tongueless upper, shiny sole, but they still do that in their own style. Someone who made them knows what football is about and FEELS how cleats for this brand should look like.

We applause when someone deserves that and we really hope that with all what's happening with the "leaders" New Balance will make it and Furon 4.0 will be a step on the role to becoming one of brands that really count.

One of new leaks of football boots from adidas is this one. The upcoming blue NEMEZIZ 18.1. A new generation, that should be exciting. Like a next-gen always is. Well, it is but for the same reasons we value the first one for. Quality and a good, new idea. By the new idea we don't mean of course the same thing that adidas says that was "the thing" about them.

Besides that, unfortunately this boot is not exciting. It's frustrating. We in TEPY.PL are really people that like progress, quality, not just posing that you do something and that's it. The NEMEZIZ 18.1 football boots is almost exactly the same as the NEMEZIZ 17.1 was. Do you see any difference? If they are, you would have to be a cleat-maniac to see them. And as we see, adidas does not make boots for those.

Even one thing that was bad about the previous one, the back part seems to be untouched. Something that even before the premiere was a obvious fail and it really turned out to give people besters is still here. Whey to work? Why to release something new? What is the meaning of doing something? Of you would try to answer these questions by looking at them you would surely not get good ones.

In one of our preious articles we wrote about the newest product from adidas, the first Paul Pogba edition of the Predator. We mentioned, that it seems that when it comes to cleats it will be released in just one version. But we didn't say, that there won't be more than just cleats!

When you are reading this adidas probably presented more, because Pogba, a man known from his taste for fashion is a good star to show more than just football boots and more was promised. We like to stay in the game and will show two more boots that you are able to buy. First, showed above is the indoor version of 18+. A boot that we commented few times, said some good words, especially for the BOOST sole.

Second may not be seen as something considered to be football boot, but you have to admit that these TR versions, that for us are always nice to look at became a part of the cleat hype, especially when it comes to Predator line. Maybe they don't look as good as the black one from few weeks back, but still we like them very much.

How many times looking at remakes of Predators we wrote that we wish that Nike would do the same? Legendary boots like these with a big red tongue, as well as many Mercurials live their own life in our minds along with mental replays of beautiful goals. When we thought about football boots business we understood that doing so may not necessarily be a good thing for such a brand. We guess that in a way Nike dod what our hearts wanted, but also in a safe and wise way.

Now we are able to buy some of the legendary colorways once again. Did You seen Mbappe wearing the original R9 Mercurial design boots? They were the Superfly's VI. Or did you watch the last Copa del Rey final? Coutinho in a beautiful chrome/lime Vapor? The new boots are not available in stores. You can get them from NIKEiD. A service that let you design your own boots now delivers few old colorways and designs that you can complete with your own ID.

What is available? Let's start from the beginning of Mercurial history. The first, legendary silver/blue/yellow Match Mercurial design that now, just as all of them can be pasted on the uppers of Superfly VI or Vapor XII. In case of all these boots what the new Mercurials are is something that has to be considered as not the most important thing, even for us who always judge a product for its quality. New Mercurials are OK in terms of performance, so let's go on just admiring what Nike did to please us. 

Next is the chrome/lime "remake" of Vapor I. The legendary colorway that soon will be presented in its original version in our YouTube TEPY TALK series (just in Polish). Of course the upper can't be just as shiny as it was in Korea and Japan years back because of different material but the fact that Nike reminded them is good enough, and if you really need that shine you will find it one the sole that has a chrome coating.

When we look at the next boot we see that it's not just about Mercurials. It's also about the World Cup. Every colorway is related to one of the tournaments from last 20 years. Starting from 1998, next with the chrome/lime 2002, now the yellow Vapor III that we saw on Ronaldo's feet in Germany when he reached the title of best scoring player in the history of World Cup, which was taken from him not so long ago by Klose. This is one of most memorable variations of Mercurial and it looks great on these ones.

The next one we consider to be something really different. Maybe because it was not so long ago? Maybe because this was the first World Cup (in RSA) without the great Brazilian? Or is it because some ups and downs that the Mercurial had back then? The violet/orange colorway is surely a memorable one. Many of us remember is for the fact that there was w one pack featuring the same colorway, second tournament one after the Euro 2008 black/blue leather editions. They look great, we love it, but in comparison to the previous models... you know what we mean.

The last ones is a comeback of something that we remember like it was yesterday. Four years back we were at the Madrid premiere if the red/gold Mercurial Superfly IV when we saw Cristiano Ronaldo. A boot that many of you probably had or at least remember from the fields. Now you can get it once again, probably in a even better version, especially when it comes to Vapors.

Nike, you are great! We still hope to get real remakes, once again that Vapor I, and we hope that it will be something for the people, not limited editions or NIKEiD, but what you gave us now is also magnificent Sure, we see that the Dynamic-Fit formula is ending, would like you sometimes to do more, but things like that make what you do fine. We expect from you because we love what you do. And with this you surely delivered.

In a way they are nothing new, in a way they are. Year by year Nike releases a Academy Pack which is a pack of blackouts or almost-blackouts. In theory the exciting pat of it, except the colorway, is the model that in the meantime got it's new generation. After that, next year we see just a re-release.

If you remember the last one you know, that the Academy pack was also a... Tech Craft pack! A special leather edition of a boots, that in most cases are normal synthatics. Because of that, even when the current Hypervenom is over one year old we will get it's first synthetic, blackout edition.

We don't know when the pack will be released, but with this leak we got to know that it will really be! Only leaks that we got previously were the Legend and Premiere and that made us thing that just the "classics" may be black. There will be more. Surely the Mercurial, and, who knows, maybe the Phantom Vision, which were known previously as the FTR10? Does blackout FTR10 ring a bell? Yes, their first colorway is suppose to be black!

We just showed you a leak of another colorway dedicated to Ronaldinho and here's the third one. As far as we know that's it, there will be no more, but of course we hope that Nike will get back to this player with special Legend colorways or even more.

This one is red. We have to say, despite us not liking rally the idea of this boot, which we think should have been done way better, we like the colorway. It looks really great and probably many psycho-fans will have the idea to wear them. That is of course, if they on't share our opinion that Nike should do more here.

With all that we said about this model we have to point out, that this is the first time when Nike made a special player edition JUST in indoors and turfs. Or did we miss something? We're searching for positives here really, but with no doubt that's true.

The story will continue. We guess that not just in case of Ronaldo de Lima, even long after the player retires Nike will remind us of his greatness by new special editions. Few months back Nike released a special edition of indoors and turfs in the TiempoX line. It was a renewed concept of the first Ronaldinho boot.

Now we will get a second colorway. It's a unusual strategy, to release the same boot with different variation with such a long break between them. If you look for any changes, don't bother Only thing is that it's white and it look way better than the previous one. At least for us.

For us this edition is not good enough. It's Ronaldinho. And this isn't a boot that would be great in any aspect. When we think of this player we expect Nike to do more. Even a cleated remake of the original Ronaldinho bot would be better. That's not really a big deal, we're just saying.

Not so long ago adidas unveiled a new collection of football boots and few days back it landed in stores. It's one that we knew about a long time back. First of all one of adidas stars, Karim Benzema leaked the colorway of X17, also the Predator had it's first leak in a variation that belongs to this new pack. It's name is Deadly Strike

The pack contains five boots. As you can expect the fifth is the second colorway of NEMEZIZ made for Leo Messi. The same the he wore in the memorable game with Savilla. Two versions of NEMEZIZ are completely different. Messi's one is rather dark, the serial one is the lightest in whole pack. We like the second better and it's not about the player.

Surprising part of the pack is Copa. Just the fact that we got a new colorwy. Previously adidas had the tendency to use this model to tease a future colorway. That's not what happens here. We have a violet boot that looks decent. Quality of the leather in Copa was always good, and on photos in this colorway it looks exceptionally great.

Predator is a strange story. The top version's color, even the base looks different than on the cheaper ones. We like the 18+ as hell but other ones are something that dosen't really catch our eyes. Visual side of the Deadly Strike predators reflects what wee see when it comes to performance. 18+ seems to be way more better than the 18.1 than it should be.

X17 is a boot that we talked a lot last months, especially in this colorway. We expect it to be the last one, that is if adidas doesn't play to say goodbye in a special way. We know that there will be a X18 and showed it to you many times already. We don't know if that's because we know about the continuation, or is it really too much at this point, but after two generations of a boot that is pretty, but was seen too many times, we are bored with this one. 

All of these boots you already saw in our previous articles. We have to say, that last few months was probably a time when we had the biggest numbers of articles about Puma cleats. It's hard to not notice, that if a brand makes good football boots, the obvious outcome is our interest. Good to see Puma back in form after a horrible last year.

The boot that we have here is on one hand something that we know for a long time, on the other a mystery. In the title we wrote 18.1, but many times we referred to them as 19.1. The truth is that they will be released pretty soon and the name will probably be the second one. Puma will probably change the way that adidas does things. The number refers to the year a generation will end, not start.

One thing worries us. This mean that One 18.1, which is a model that we really like will ba the shortest-living Puma cleat ever, and let's remember, that the evoTOUCH already had a really short lifetime. It really is a downside, but if the 18.1 will turn out to be OK we won't mind it.

One of good things to say about Puma is that they went back to being not just good producers of quality boots, but also good looking ones. Also the future release has some great colorways what you can see here today. Orange one looks great, one with turquoise also, even the darker one, which is a type that we don't usually like looks amazing.

These here are the serial releases, Puma will surely surprise us with some player-versions and special editions as they always do. Let's keep in mind that also this one will have a synthetic and leather upper version. That is if Puma won't change it's plans. One last thing to wonder, maybe the brand will decide to do in this one what they didn't end up doing in the previous. We mean the laceless design that we saw on some samples.

For some now Nike is telling us the Cristiano Ronaldo story by his boots. The last colorway, first in the new Mercurial generation is the sixth one. Of course there were more CR7 boots, it's just that the previous ones were not so-called "chapters". Today we have a leak of next CR7 boots. Here they are.

Photos were presented by Pjimenez71. As far as we know this one will be the last chapter of the story. We have to say, that we are glad about that. Sticking to something from the players way to the top is always a kind of limitation. Now designers will have more space to do whatever they want to.

It seems that they are already starting to do so. Design of this boots makes us think of... nothing particular. We always had a idea about what the story is about. Here we have a orange net. Does that ring your bell? We are confused. Who knows, maybe, if that one is the last part of the story it's about something that will be revealed at the same moment that the boots go out? Who knows.

From the visual side, these boots look similar to the launch colorway, at least when you look at them from distance. Up close we see what's going on. The interesting past is the back. Is it just us or does that look like carbon? We wonder what is the idea here. Doubt that this is really carbon, but maybe it's a teaser of something like the next version of the Mercurial SL?

Week back we presented a pink adidas Predator 18/3 football boot. The obvious first thought was that it's a woman's edition. Till now we don't know if that's true, what we do know is another thing that we wondered about back then. Will there be a top version. Yes it will.

Here it is. The pink adidas Predator 18+ football boot. It looks astonishing and we surely hope that this one will be a unisex and available for men as well. Sure, pink might not be a best color for a man but in football boots it has a own story started by the Vapor IV Rosa.

Another week brought us some new photos of the upcoming X18. Normally we would be excited about colorways that we newer knew, most of the times when we see blackouts they play they role and raise the level of excitement, but in the end not really show us much. Photos that we have today push the blackout experience to a new level.

That's because the photos are good, bright and show the boot in detail. This is the moment when we start to see the blackouts as a model that we desire. Despite serial releases, these prototypes, where they somehow reach internet auctions are a valuable and rare collectable item. But let's go to what's important, the boot itself. The thing that strikes us is the pattern on the upper that leaves clean, flat stripes. We didn't saw it when the color made us look on other things.

X17.1 looks great and it probably will also be great when it comes to performance. Because the back part we see it as a modified, synthetic version of the Ace 17.1L. You must see the that. Along with the net tongue area that we talked about in one of previous articles it looks like a really promising boot. Let's hope we're right!

It's the second time when Nike releases a special Mercurial in it's newest generation. Not bad for a boot that is about two months old. First, the "safari" one was something that we not quite liked. The artist that collaborated there normally makes handbags. He used a safari print that is kind of iconic for Mercurial line and made it something of his own. Not good. Here we have a different story. Yes, there is a man that doesn't have much to do with football, but ha made something really new and fresh. This is what Nike says about the new release:

"In the eyes of Virgil Abloh, the lineage of Nike’s Mercurial football boot is filled with great storylines. He’s quick to reference the players who’ve worn it — the likes of Kylian Mbappé — and considers it one of sport’s most dynamic and exciting product lines. Beyond, he says he’s excited to leave his own stamp on the contemporary game with his take on the new Mercurial Vapor 360.

“For this Mercurial, I was interested in bridging the gap between foot and eye coordination,” says Abloh. “All the dots on the boot represent an optimal place to strike the ball.”

The idea is two fold: First, to help the wearer recognize where he or she should hit the ball' and second, to present a powerful message to the opposition."

There are two more things to mention about this new Mercurial. First is that Mbappe himself got a Superfly. This version won't be available to buy, at least as far as we know. The second is that at the moment of showing them Nike didn't say how much of these will be available, or will they be available at all. If Mbappe got a Superfly, that we guess that the Vapor isn't made just to pose for pictures. Probably at the point this will be published we will already know how many of these will be available to the public.

As it is for the design we absolutely love it. Something unusual is what Mercurial is about. Just look at Vapor I, it was a boot completely out of the box, and not just in the literal sense. It surely fits the line and we hope for more fruitful collaborations to come. However... we feel that Nike could done this on their own. A added name isn't really a added value here. At least not for us, clients.

Nike Premier, also it's second generation is a typical classic boot. Sure, some may say that it isn't really old, because Nike released it not so long ago to be a competition for cleats like Copa Mundial or Kind, but it surely has all that a model like that should have. Not only it connects us to the old days on the field, but Nike uses it to remind us of some good times in ther products past.

When you see a white and gold football boot what do you think of? And if it has a swoosh on it? Sure, in most cases it will be the white and gold Tiempo Legend I R10. The same one which was seen probably millions of times in the Ronaldinho Ping-pong ad. Another one is a special limited edition Legend V inspired by the mentioned older model.

Here we have another one. The link to those two from the past is obvious and whole internet sees it. Even without any branding, under almost every Instagram picture we have #r10 or #ronaldinho hashtags. For us the Premier II is a decent boot for a good price. And with colorways like that they are even more attractive.

Aprils is the month when Nike will release this colorway. We showed it already on the Phantom III DF version. Here we have a lower-version model and that tells us something about what kind of "special" these will be.

We knew that this won't quite be a standard release. Nike is planning to make some kind of fuss about it. As you can see it's not one of these releases where we have numbered pairs etc. To be honest, we would surely like them as a everyday serial product because we just don't like them that much.

Both the colorway and unusual design are not something that catches our eye. Hypervenom isn't a boot that let's designers do a lot and here's the result of that. We wonder what will be the future of the line, that is the next after the new Phantom Vision (FTR10) to be replaced. With a new generation, or something completely new.

Leaks of X18 keep up coming. Many players wore the upcoming new release from adidas as blackouts on their trainings. The new X18.1 is commented to be the comeback of adizero and we surely share that thought. The top version, X18+ is however something completely new and gives us a similar excitement to one that we feels when years back adidas experimented in the F50 line with Crazylight or 99 gram boot.

However for now all we have is waiting and looking al leaks of another low-end versions in different colorways. Today once again we have the blue one. One on the front is probably the X18.3, however if you look closely on the back you see better boots, ending with the 18.1

And here we have something new. This is a colorway that we haven't seen before. It's also the X18.3, unless adidas changed the sole plat in its cheapest model. From time to time we see big progress made in the low-end boots so maybe this is another one. We doubt that, because we see few interesting things in this one, however we would surely like that to be true.

Few articles back we showed you the blue Hypervenom Phantom III DF. We speculated about many blue Nike boots that are coming up. It turns out the this boot won't be a special release but a part of a whole back. We know that because another one was leaked.

It's the Tiempo. What we have here is the Tiempo Legend VII and a indoor. Pictures have been taken from Footballbootlism. It's calm, and we guess that this will be the climate for the whole collection.

Sure, we are waiting for pictures of the Mercurial, but the most interesting thing is if this will be the pack where we will still have the Magista, or maybe the new FTR10 will appear. We would love to see that boot in blue!

Who's got the new Predator in one of the top versions? Adidas surely have much to offer when it comes to his type of boots, especially when we also take the TR versions into consideration. We are expecting a new pack seen, and part of it will be this boot.

It's the blue Predator 18+ TANGO in TF version. Just like the top cleated one this doesn't look as similar to the cheaper ones as it normally does. The FT however has some elements in that green, or as some say "mint" color.

The boot looks great and what we like here, is that unlike the FG or SG versions, this really uses the BOOTS technology that isn't just a element of marketing, and really can make a difference.

Not so long ago Under Armour released a new model replacing the ClutchFit. The name is Magnetico. It's pretty good looking, however is doesn't seem to be a model that would count in competition, more something that you could buy as a option and because of curiosity.

Under Armour is giving us reasons to be curious because they have just released a new version of the Magnetico. Pretty interesting and worth of mentioning. The upper is made from leather. And not the front, but the entire upper! In the first colorway it's also gold, so it's hard not to notice them.

It's a interesting boot. On the side we see the characteristic patters. We guess that in the it has been made using a typical heating process. What's important, that it will probably give the right level of stiffness where it's needed. To be honest, this one is way more interesting for us than the synthetic. And that color!

Innowacje są istotną częścią historii butów piłkarskich. Czasem marki robią coś co jest na prawdę znaczące w postępie ale nawet nie robią z tego powodu wielkiego halo, innym razem reklamują rozwiązania, które w gruncie rzeczy są nieznaczące. Ciekawe jak New Balance zachowa się prezentując nadchodzący nawy model, Tekela, który może okazać się być czymś więcej niż nam się wydaje.

Spójrzcie na nie. Syntetyczna cholewka, nietypowy kształt, interesujący pomysł na okolice języka. Mają one dodatkową poduszkę w miejscu, w którym często widywaliśmy ją w Tiempo albo evoPOWER Jest to coś, co zawsze przyjmowaliśmy z otwartymi rękoma. Jak będzie zachowywała się ta nowa cholewka? Co jest w środku? W przeszłości New Balance a) robiło bardzo kiepskie korki, i b) zdarzało im się robić świetne. To jakim butem okaże się być Tekela zdefiniuje nam opinię o tym producencie na najbliższe kilkanaście miesięcy.

We guess that there will be lot of blue in near future from Nike. We had this color in the Mercurial, there were also two Tiempo colorways. Now we get another one, the Hypervenom Phantom III DF, that soon, or at least at the point of these being released will be 1,5 year old. Soon we should see first leaks of the next gen. Hopefully.

We have two thoughts about these. First, these remind us of the special edition of Hypervenom Phantom I, that was worn by Lewandowski. Only difference, that that one had also a yellow swoosh. Second, these repeated colors remind us of Nike's strategy of using the same colors in three different boots, but in different combinations. It happened after.. the last World Cup. Interesting.

Sometimes we get really surprised with a great boot that no one heard about. At least in some places. A brand that was noticed last year was ATHLETA with its O'Rei model, that got its second generation this year. Another one, that caught our eye lately is Athuza.

Despite the brand having a IG account (athuza.x.room25) we don't know much about it. It seems that it comes from Indonesia and the designer (he's name is Athuza) in one of us. A cleat fanatic that knows what football boots are about. You can see it in his work.

Few models that we see may not be the top of what modern technology has to offer, but they are surely designed well. they both look good, and try to give the player what he needs. We don't see things that we sometimes see from the big brands, that makes us as - how could you do something like that? Hare everything is on its place.

To be honest we are shocked to see that releasing a football boots can be done by what seems to be one of few people. We guess that it's just how things can be done in Asia:) For now we wish good luck for the creator and hope to see more of his work.

Last week we showed you a low version of the upcoming Mercurial colorway. We expect i to be the one for the World Cup. Here is another one. Many times we wrote about many scenarios for the release date and strategy that Nike may take with these so let's leave it for now and just enjoy the boots.

Not often the top-end versions are being leaked so today we are lucky. Here is the Superfly VI, called also the Superfly 360 Elite. This time the sole plate is just one color, but with a sweet coral effect.

We can also expect some kind of a bonus with the swoosh. We expect it to be reflective. We think that the orange version looks way better then the one with the blue sole. What do you think?

Some time back we showed you a fantastic model of football boots. They were the Joma Propulsion Lite II. The first generation, that we also had in our hands made a very good impression. The second one as you know turned out to be just a sample prototype.

Here is how the boot looks like when it got released. This is the new Propulsion Lite. Pretty similar to the previous one, some things have been changed, it surely isn't a model that we should say something bad about. Or that would be the case if we hadn't see what Joma planned.

The prototype was way more interesting Better looking, and we think that also better prom the practical point of view because the flexible part would make the upper to hug our feet better. We are sorry that it wasn't released, however this one isn't also bad. We like it.

Many times we wrote about the X18.1. We even were the first one to leak them and it was the very same colorway that we have for you today. Till now many things about the upcoming premiere were just speculations. For the first time we have photos showing us more details.

It is a boot with a very interested top part. We think that the top-inner part may act like rubber and "glue" the boot to our feet. This would be interesting. What we are bit more worried are the pads that we see in the inside of the boots. We saw something like that in Under Armour boots and few times from Nike and it never ended up to be a good choice. We hope that there's more than we see and it will turn out to be OK.

The X18.1 gives us a interesting front. The outside of the boot, which thanks to the lacing system gives us much space for control, when it will be combined with proper upper material will surely be something that we will say good things about The inside is little less slick, we see a structure that will surely let us control the ball when running and kicking. A stripe that we see on the inside is also a element that let's us know, that this model was well thought-through.

The top part of the tongue-area is obviously knitted and will let our foot breath. It seems to be kind of thick. When we look at the lacing system we think that this time it's a good thing because the thickness and softness of the knitted tongue will let the laces to be pushed into it, creating a system that will secure the foot stability. Many good things to say about the X18.1 as you see.

Not so long ago Harry Kane got his special Hypervenom III for his 100 goal in the league. Another player was horned for the same achievement. It's Inter's Milan Mauro Icardi for the same number of shots that made it to the net.

The boot is is pretty similar to the one that Kane got, however few details made it way more appealing, at least in our opinion. It's mostly blue and has a big gold "100" on the side. Gold is also the sole plate and it looks really great. Too bad that Nike didn't to more fuss about them like they did with the previous special release. It also looks like these wont be released to the public, even in limited quantities. Too bad, but it's good that Nike remembered to honour the player and made these.

Normally we say that the sock-type football boot is getting boring and every time a brand releases one like that we are bit disappointed. One of last year's models that were different was NEMEZIZ. And also, it turned out to be really great! Now, when we are waiting for the new generation of X we forget that another one that will get the new version is the NEMEZIZ. And today we have a first leak of the new 18+

It is high! Another "sock" football boot, however obviously bit different from all that we previously knew. Is adidas reaching the level of quality, and because of that also confidence, that lets them redefine the football boots market and start all over? Another question, of the 18+ looks like that, what will Messi wear? We guess that we have to wait to see the first blackout training photo to know that.

It seems that both Nike and adidas didn't managed to keep their secrets when it comes to World Cup boots. or at least not all of them, because we think that we know a big part of what the big brands are planning to release in few months. We showed many adidas white boots, we also talked about the WC Predator.

Today, as a reminder we have another photo showing the upcoming premiere, This is the 18.1 version. Of course many of you know the colorway from the Predator X from few years back. We guess that a boot to pair this leak would be the first colorway of X18 that was ever leaked, and it was by us. THIS one.

We showed them already but when it comes to a new generation, and a line that we can expect a lot of it's never too much. What we have for you today is a new leak of upcoming X18 indoor. Looking at the size of it we think that this may be the JR version.

The blue-green colorway is the only one that we saw many times. This makes us think that this might be the first colorway to come. Probably somewhere around the last games of the Champions League. Remember, that last year when the X17 was presented we also got the NEMEZIZ, so we expect the same story this year.

We still don't really know what's the story with Nike white football boots pack. It seems that there will be not one, but two. We already showed you two Mercurials, one with a blue sole, this is the one that we expect to see at the World Cup, and another with a red-orange mix on the heel and the swoosh on the side.

Here we have the MercurialX indoor in the second colorway. Their existence tells us that this probably won't be a limited, special edition. Using white flyknit so many times is still something very surprising for us. This of course doesn't mean that we don't like it. It's beautiful, as well as the chrome swoosh that has been moved from the front to the side of the boot. 

As you know April will be the month when we will see the next adidas serial collection containing the blue Predator, very light coloured NEMEZIZ and the last, green colorway of X17. There will be also a special Messi edition of the Nemeziz. Here it is.

We're really glad that adidas stopped making Messi's line and changed it to just a special colorway. We are also big fans of how adidas did it. Different pattern on the upper and leaving the original Messi16 sole plate are these special touches that proves that guys from adidas know what football boots are about.

The new colorway isn't the best one in our opinion, but let's face it, it doesn't have to be. Fans of the Barca's super-star will still like it, and that's the point. Offer products for those who want it, don't force it on people.
