Lotto Fuerzapura II Review

Lotto Fuerzapura II

Lotto Fuerzapura - White Cyber Yellow Colorway

Even though they don’t compete with the top ranges on the market, lotto continue to produce top class releases that offer optimal performance to professional players. You only need to look at Italy’s Serie A and the number of players wearing Lotto there as an example of their appeal. This latest release, the Lotto Fuerzapura II, falls into the Power category while offering a solid mix of technology, lightness and precision. I picked up a pair of size 9US in the offbeat White/Cyber Yellow/Black colorway for testing.

Adidas F50 adiZero in Prime Blue/Core Energy Released

F50 adiZero Prime Blue Leather

Eagle-eyed readers might have spotted Lionel Messi wearing a new Adidas F50 adizero colorway in El Clasico tonight, switching from his latest Ballon d’Or adiZero in order to avoid wearing a boot that resembled the Real Madrid colors! This new colorway is actually a pretty decent match for the Barcelona colors and they looked extremely sweet on the feet of the World’s best player.

Pele 50/50 Turf Review

Over the past few weeks, I have been working on testing out several pairs of turf shoes. The Pele 50/50 is one of the pairs, and this release continues along the fine line of Pele-Sports releases we have seen in recent months. Building an entire range for players to choose from is a critical step in holding down a place in the market. Rather than focusing on lightweight, this boot offers an ideal option for players who need support and comfort right out of the box. And it is important to note that even those these are a turf boot, they have more functionality than just that surface. I tested the Running White/Varsity Royal/Tour Yellow colorway in a size 9US.

Adidas adiPure 11Pro SL in Black/Core Energy

adidas 11 Pro SL Black

There is something very simplistic about this release that makes them look like your everyday, run-of-the-mill adidas boot. But, don’t be fooled – I have a feeling they will pack a pretty killer punch in action! The Adidas adiPure 11Pro SL has been released and it hits the market as the lowest weighing adiPure ever. If there were any doubts about the direction Adidas was headed, then this release answers those questions. At 6.4oz, these fall more into the lightweight category than the heritage, with Adidas trimming them down to the bare bones.

For those of you that were disappointed about the adiPure 11Pro not featuring a K-leather upper, Adidas has a response. This SL version features a soft K-leather upper with an ultra-thin layer of protection, called DuraCoating, providing an extra level of durability around the strike zone. Not what many players were expecting! As with all current release, Adidas employ their SprintFrame soleplate and the ability to use their miCoach performance tracking system. The chip sits in a cavity in the soleplate.
