Soccer 2000 Boot Review - Adidas Nitrocharge

 
Soccer 2000 Boot Review
Adidas Nitrocharge
 
The Adidas Nitrocharge was created for one purpose... to simply super charge your game.
 
The upper of the Nitrocharge is a super soft material that is a hybrid of leather and synthetic that keeps flexibility in and water out. The Energysling across the top of the shoe is designed for stability and control during games. The review of this boot revealed that most players thought the upper was "comfortable and flexible". Some, however, thought the "Energysling was too tight around the foot".
 
The fit of the shoe was pretty half and half as to whether customers liked or disliked the way it felt on their foot. The boot is lined with a synthetic leather for comfort and anti-slipping during games. According to one reviewer, "the fit was too tight for my bunions and was uncomfortable because of it". Another reviewed stated the opposite, "the fit was snug but not too tight where it became uncomfortable". With such divided responses on the fit, it is clear that this shoe appeals more to a slender foot without previous issues or problems. The Nitrocharge delivers a snug fit in order to prevent slippage during games and practices.
 
The outsole of the Nitrocharge is constructed with Adidas's new technology called Energypulse. Energypulse works to provide premium energy output during the toe-off phase of a sprint. Energypulse also helps you with your vertical jumps allowing you to reach new heights. The Nitrocharge is fitted with Adidas's Traxion 2.0 FG stud configuration allowing for maximum grip and acceleration on all natural firm-ground surfaces. Overall, most reviewers praised the stud configuration of the Nitrocharge stating that it "allows for better traction" and that "the studs seem strong and stable compared to others". The negatives that were stated by reviewers were "I wish the studs were rounded" and "I do not like how bulky the miCoach storage area is". The miCoach may look bulky but has not proved to inhibit play or traction.
 
The color of this boot was unlike any color we have seen on the Nitrocharge. It has a bright and eye catching color that encompasses everything that the Adidas Samba pack was suppose to. The color was greatly accepted by most. It was a fresh start to a shoe that never really stood out before.
 
Below are the averages each Nitrocharge received from customers and employees. Please feel free to comment with any other reviews of the boot.

Nike Tiempo Legend V FG


Nike's Tiempo Legend V FG

 

The Tiempo Legend has always been known for being Nike's all leather boot. The kangaroo leather is what made this boot stand out from all of the others. However, with most other boots on the market being much lighter and nearly waterproof the Tiempo could not stand up to its competitors.
 
Nike has taken the new Tiempo Legend V to a whole other level by introducing it with Nike's Kanga-Lite instead of a full leather upper. The Kanga-Lite is paired with Nike's new technology called Hypershield. Hypershield is a 2-layer constructed mesh that works with the Kanga-Lite to reduce the weight and enhance the durability of the boot. The upper is still equipped with All Conditions Control (ACC) allowing the boot to be nearly waterproof. The new upper of the Tiempo Legend absorbs almost 2/3 less water that a typical Kangaroo leather boot.
 
Nike not only changed the upper but they also redesigned the insole and outsole of the boot. The new Tiempo comes with a newly engineered plate that has been designed to move with your foot for improved stability, traction and comfort. The poron insoles allow for improved comfort while not compromising weight. The outsole has similar direct-injected studs for a similar traction.
 
The improved Tiempo legend allows for a unmatched feel and touch in any weather condition.
 
Whether your looking for the classic Tiempo IV or the newly improved Tiempo V remember to shop Soccer 2000 for all your needs.

S2K Boot Review Results - Nike CR7 Galaxy


The Soccer 2000 Boot Review Results
 
Thanks to all who participated in our first Boot Review of the Nike CR7 line. We got some great responses from customers on why they like or don't like the CR7 line. All scores are an average of the total number of reviews. Each customer or employee rated the shoe in four different categories. Each category was given a number from one to five, five being the best and one being the worst. The shoes were rated on the upper, fit, out sole and color.

The results are as follows:

The vapor was found to be too narrow overall. Both customers and employees alike thought the shoe was too tight and therefore uncomfortable. However, customers seemed to like the cleat formation of the out sole, whereas, employees here at the store did not. Most felt like the lack of four cleats in the back caused the shoe to feel unstable. Overall, the shoe is definitely a favorite among our shoppers but a least favorite among the store associates.

The indoor victory seemed to be a much better favored shoe. The fit was still narrow but overall most customers seemed to really enjoy the versatile nature of this indoor shoe. The color was a hit with most people because it is different from anything they had ever seen before.

The turf victory by far scored the best between both customers and employees. Both groups liked that the shoe got a bit wider and the fit was not so narrow as the other two styles of the shoe. The color was, of coarse, still favored. The out sole seemed to really be liked by most customers because the full turf bottom that seemed to grip well when running. The shoe maintained its light quality while also improving comfort.
