those are always targeted. i've been really lucky in the past few months.
no evidence to support this, but i've been leaving stuff in my shopping cart on purpose lately and that's seemed to help.
not a mens' world cup year, but i'm sure we'll have yet another fantastic year of heat in this thread. congratulations and thank you all for six years! i've certainly gone from being a mercurial vapor to more a a tiempo guy in that time, if you know what i mean.
2014...

thank you everybody for another great year and best wishes for 2015!
if true, that's a great non-world cup shirt. (yes, it'd look even better with the centennial crest)
kit makers should experiment with different ideas during "off" years for national teams and with third kits of club teams. nobody really cares if they're ugly, and it gives consumers some cool...
anyone scoop any black friday deals? it's kind of depressing to me because i lost my family access to swoosh a few weeks back - paying retail is tough.
have a couple nike tech pants in my cart at both eurosport and socceramerican, but i'm waiting for better cyber monday discount codes...
praise the lord finally some decent pants! i live in those things once the cold weather rolls around. one of my favorite pairs is more than 10 years old and i treasure them because all the new ones are terrible.
EDIT: i only see them (nike select strike tech pant) on european sites. i doubt...
i have no idea. they were cool with anything that wasn't an all-out cleat, but then something happened and they changed their policy this past session to everything has to be a flat bottom - so you're basically forced to play in sneakers on a turf field. not sure if it was an insurance thing or...
the previous elastico finales fit true to size, perhaps very slightly tighter than nike cleats. not sure if that remains the same with the flywire upper.
orange elasticos will be copped! i'm still not sure if i can deal with the built in sock, but this is a good way to try it out without shelling big bucks for the magista. bonus that my friday night indoor team wears orange.
now i just have to figure out which sole to get. one of my indoor...
not to the public.
that being said, if you're asking because you stumbled across them in a marshall's or ross, i wouldn't be shocked if they were authentic. if that was the case, all bets are off as to the box that would have been used since it's not an official release.
there are middle schools with more customized adidas kits than that. for a young, up-and-coming team i can't believe adidas just gave them a cookie cutter kit to begin that relationship.
i can only find the white or the blue, even on the knvb site. i think i remember looking for the orange ones in 2010 as well, but no luck.
nike used to sell almost every piece of gear at retail, but they've definitely cut down over the past 5 years or so. it's almost impossible to find pants...
agree completely. plus they're completely in bed with the qatari government, which is essentially killing workers every day to build their corrupt world cup. and they're probably going to sign suarez. i've been a barca fan since middle school, but it's incredible how much the club has sold out...
if it makes you feel any better, there's a TON of counterfeits on ebay. usually it's obvious because they claim to be OMBs with a BIN of $25 shipping from china, but sometimes you get people in the US trying to offload those same ones after they get them in the mail and realize they're fakes...
i haven't sent back anything in about 3-4 years. how does nike know where you purchased the shoes? do they make you show a receipt now? they didn't before.
ohhhhhh i'm liking it.... not necessarily the colorway or the high collar, but the idea that nike will make a premium indoor shoe. hopefully they use zoomair, but i'm guessing there's a 1% chance of that happening.
