Ronaldo actually wears a hybrid sole-plate:Originally Posted by riphamilton
^note that cronaldo doesn't wear the plate with the articulating stud; he has his superfly PEs customized with the regular mercurial plate.

WAYNE Rooney was spotted rooting for bargains in Nikeâs staff discount store despite earning £200,000 a week.
The Manchester United strikerâs record £50million pay deal did not stop him popping into the shop at the sportswear giantâs world HQ in the USA, where shoppers can snap up the latest products for as little as half price.
Entrance is by security pass only and strictly limited to Nike workers and their guests.
Rooney, 25, broke off from fitness training at the site in Beaverton, near Portland, Oregon, to buy a mini basketball for his year-old son Kai.

Not to be a **** or anything, but two posts above this one I posted this:Originally Posted by riphamilton
you can't tell definitively from these pics, but i'm fairly certain that he isn't using (and never has used) the new superfly soleplate with the retractable stud.... nike must not be thrilled about that since they're marketing that technology as a game changer, yet their biggest star refuses to use it.
Again, not trying to be a jerk, just pointing out that there's a more clear picture above of his mixed sole plate.Originally Posted by OnlyFootball

pretty nice "Virgule" means comma in English , slash is "barre".Originally Posted by riphamilton
new nike france jersey, which will be debuting 9 february against the seleção....
three buttons on the collar, which is a huge contrast to the techfit that some of the players wear now. the blue is darker, and the article notes that it's comparable to the blue that the rugby team wears. it's funny that the swoosh is called 'la virgule' in french, which means slash (/).

Great photography as usual. Honestly I was hating on these at first, but after seeing them on foot they look pretty clean. Orange was probably the best accent color they could have chosen for these, and the only one to make it work well. One thing I don't get are those faded "arrows" in the upper. Just seems to make an otherwise simple color blocking scheme very confusing.Originally Posted by T21D
I was watching the Milan/ Brescia game yesterday and I can't remember to save my life, that a Brescia adidas sponsored player went down and it seems the 3 stripes have gotten into molded/stud game as well.
I was sitting on the fence on these but decided to pull the trigger. It's a lovem hatem cleat
call me old school,but i've always associated France with adidas...Originally Posted by riphamilton

Glad to hear both of those things. South Africa's adidas kits were stink, and I'm glad there's some form of loyalty left in professional sports. There's no way Nike will ever get Germany.Originally Posted by riphamilton

nike offered to pay the german national team 6 times what adidas pays them (the nike offer was reportedly â¬500M for 8 years!).... but DFB turned them down. i couldn't imagine germany in nike; that'd be like the oregon ducks wearing adidas.
also of note, bafana bafana will be another african puma team - it was rumored before that nike would get that contract. puma's definitely doing big things in africa.... hopefully the newer kits are less cookie cutter than what they have been (i HATE the lower case NOB typeface). SA's loss to the US a couple weeks ago is the last time that they'll wear the adidas unis.
