I never wore a cup when I played baseball and I was an infielder(played 2nd & 3rd base). I got hit in the nuts so many time just off bad bounces playing on ****** fieldsI don't wear shin guards in my league, just like I never wore a cup when I played football. They just feel awkward, although I've suffered the consequences at times.
Also I'm wearing a leather pair of cleats now and I think I'm leather for life now. I now know why all the older dudes wear it, it really is comfortable
As far as leather, I have to get used to it since I've been wearing thin synthetics for many years now.
The Evospeed SL-S is supposed to be a more durable version designed to last way more than a few games. I'm pretty sure adidas and puma manufacture AG boots but they're not marketed here in the US. Don't sleep on the Nike voucher, the shoes has to be manufactured less than 2 years ago, they WILL honor it!!!I'd love to see sales numbers on the PUMA evospeed SL that they keep making more colorways of a boot that says won't last a full season. Or did they change that?
Still waiting for other brands to join the AG movement. Gonna need new boots real soon and i hate that i might buy the same pair that i currently have . I don't think in my soccer life i have ever had two pairs of the same shoe. But my superfly IVs have a crack in the carbon fiber and they were pre-toe reinforcement on AG model so the sole is starting to separate. But right now its looking like if i can pull the any superfly (prefere the Mango) for under $200 i will pull the trigger
That soleplate is what Nike calls SG-Pro. It's been on their models for like 4 years now. CR7 was the first high profile player that Nike started providing that type of soleplate for. He never liked the traditional 6 stud SG plate, so he asked Nike to design a mix of FG and SG. I'm not too sure, but I think Nike still makes the regular SG plate but markets it in Europe. I remember seeing HV Phantoms with them on the PDS UK website.^and i wonder if these even see the light of day in the US market. anything with an SG plate is lucky to get a limited release here, so i wouldn't be surprised if "anti clog" (a much bigger issue on SG) follows that supposed logic. they're much more common in europe.
that being said, that plate looks like a hybrid between FG and SG, so who knows what happens. i'd definitely be interested in trying it out.
