** Soccer/Futbol/Football Feet, Kits and Gear - 2013 **

not a fan of bayerns kit.. could grow on me i suppose..

Felt the same about polo kits, but they are soo classy IMO.. LOVE Juve's away..
 
Changed my mind about bayern kit.. Both that n barca kit looked great today

Will only be buying our home kit this yr.. Don't like that away, hope nike releases authentics again
 
I feel like most of the adidas kits took a step down from last year.  AC Milan's is the only one that is better off the top of my head.
 
Nike must have had a lot of yellow shirts laying around...its the go to color for away kits this season
 
May or may not be a nike football product, but can anyone identify Le Boss's footwear in this pic?

Better look in video on ESPN.com

haha I told ya. Although last year's Bayern away kit was better, this year's still looks nice



That PSG away is :wow: :pimp: :pimp: :pimp:

Much better than their home kit 8)
 
^ Im the opposite I like the home PSG better


Bayerns home is :pimp: :pimp: need a Muller..


That Chelsea 3rd :pimp:
 
I actually like the RM blue kits.

And i guess im in the minority but i like the button up no color jersey look. I really like Inter's home kit, but the black City kits might be my favorite of the year. I don't like the black chelsea jersey...too plain and boring looking for me
 
Seen the blue Real Madrid jersey at my local shop today and was not a fan... Can't wait to get that black Chelsea shirt..
 
Do you guys know about Nike's Montebelluna Factory? It's where the pros get their boots from. The link below has a cool article about it.

The story quoted below comes from the link under this sentence. Great read.

FROM MONTEBELLUNA TO MANCHESTER(?): WAYNE ROONEY’S CUSTOM HYPERVENOM PHANTOM
Posted on July 23, 2013 in Football Boots, Nike Football Boots, Nike Hypervenom, Players, Wayne Rooney

Whilst it might not be clear where Wayne Rooney will be plying his trade next season, one thing that is certain is he will be doing it in the Nike Hypervenom Phantom.

The England international gave Nike’s ‘new breed of attack’ the dream start to its life on the pitch with a memorable strike against Brasil at the Maracana.

To mark the retail launch of the Hypervenom range in the UK, Nike have assembled some pretty neat photos of how each boot goes through production at their Italian player-issue factory in Montebelluna. Ever wondered what goes into a pro player like Rooney’s cleats? Find out, here.

The uppers are mostly made in standard sizing – here, each boot is wrapped around a ‘last’. These are moulds taken of each player’s foot (Montebelluna has bookcases full of each of their sponsored athlete’s lasts) for a perfect fit.

Here and above, the Hypervenom Phantom is being heated from different angles to mould the upper to the last.

After that, the moulded boot – still on the last – is stitched and glued onto the soleplate by hand.

Here, Nike can monitor durability and accommodate requests from players for particular stud patterns and the like.

To set the glue and stop the boot shaping in any unwanted ways, each boot is chilled to -15˚C on this conveyor belt, completing the proces

Each boot is then checked against a player’s spec-sheet, listing their size and personal customisation preferences. This allows the Nike master boot-makers to tweak and change little things about the boot for optimal performance.

Wayne Rooney, as you’d hope, is fairly low-maintenance in the boot department, so it’s straight off to the stitching station for his Hypervenoms. Much the same as you’ll find in NikeTowns across the world, Nike stitch on Rooney’s initials and number with this machine.

A quick visual check for imperfections and a cross-reference against the spec-sheet from Nike’s team in Italy make sure the striker will be able to enjoy a distraction-free break in wearing his new boots.

Finally, they’re teamed with a rather striking boot bag (even pro’s love a good boot bag, apparently) and ready to be sent to the striker.

We presume there’s a pair in Montebelluna with a blank delivery label on them for Rooney at the moment. Will they be sending them to Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford or somewhere else next season?

^ yea I already knew about that factory, thanks for that link though :pimp:

For the guys that already have the Hypervenoms, have you got stepped on? RIP to your feet :x

I felt the NikeSkin upper with my hands a few days ago and its so ******g thin and feels cheap. I think that in the right conditions the upper can rip apart if someone with bladed studs steps on it.
 
^ they should just let players play with their bare feet. The players can chose what brand they want to sponsor them by getting the brands logo tattooed on their foot.
 
Fun fact: India was banned from the 1950 WC because they wanted to play bare foot against the other teams and that wasn't allowed.

Not quite true, but it makes a better story. Barefoot play was banned in 1948 but India decided not to play in the 1950 WC because they didn't have enough money for travel, had issues picking the team and, frankly, they valued the Olympics more than the WC.

:lol: but seriously, the upper on my Vapor 8s is thicker than that of the HyperVenoms which is not saying much
