mi adidas vs NIKEiD – Best of Custom Designs

RICHARD – Adidas Nitrocharge 1.0

From the outset, I was torn between designing something certifiably insane, or something with a bit of class. I’ve been quite interested in the Adidas Nitrocharge since it’s release (despite the fact that no team would ever consider me the engine, I just refuse to move about THAT much); so that was the boot I decided to use as the model for the inaugural MiRichard creation. After a period of reflection in the mood room, I came to the conclusion that the Nitrocharge needed a bit of class added to it, because the player who plays ‘the engine’ role deserves a bespoke looking football boot! The party piece of the Nitrocharge is undoubtedly the Energy Sling, so far on the stock Adidas design we’ve seen only the Electricity colour used, and while it looks perfectly fine, what it doesn’t do is add itself to creating a boot with an air of class. Thankfully, there is another way! Adidas also provide a slightly less garish orange Energy Sling, which when teamed with orange stripes, laces, interior lining, and anall black upper, creates a classy looking Nitrocharge in the stylings of the adiPower Predator (Black/Warning colourway) which was the last of the classy looking Preds, and is definitely something the boffins in the design dept at Adidas should have considered for the Nitrocharge launch.

  1. I'd go Jim, Colin, Aaron 123 and Ethan's easily last haha @SirKones

  2. Kevin gets the nod from me as it is a simple and classy design. Actually Shelvey of Swansea had a gorgeous pair of MiAdidas Predator LZ II's in black and white – as though it were the offspring of the Copa and the original LZ – truly beautiful and something I'd plump for. That or a pair of blue Nitrocharges but I wish the EnergySling could be changed to suit taste or maybe the LZ II's in the traditional red/black/white Predator colour scheme.

    • Thanks Hondo, you clearly have taste. 😉

      • Thank you sir, what can I say? I'm from the old-school when football was played by men and not by mannequins prancing about with their manicured hairstyles and who flop about like fish every time there is the slightest of contact.

        That being said, am I the only one who'd love to see Adidas and Puma resurrect some of their classic boots with modern materials etc.? You'd get the best of both. Although equally I loved the Ryals and the Five Star boots that were mentioned here, and my Copas and Pantofola boots enjoy a work-out

        • Back in the day when football was a man' s game…I received the 3 pairs of Cinquestelle this week and they are very impressive. There is something special about Handmade boots.

  3. Colin – nice colors combination. Tyler's too, but I've seen that before for Adipure. Others, they're all right, but the colors do not catch my eyes.
