Olmeca Master PK Review

A great alternative from the mainstream Olmeca Sport is one of the major sports brands out of Mexico. While relatively unknown outside of Mexico, the brand has been making quality products for years at more affordable prices. With the rise of other brands from Mexico like Chalry beginning to push into the US market, it […]

Adidas X 99.1 Speedportal Leather Review

Close to fulfilling potential It felt like adidas was fulfilling people’s wishes when they released (several times) the X 99.1 Speedportal Leather. Getting rid of the awful upper of the Speedportal, adidas then slapped a soft leather forefoot along with a much more pliable midfoot on the boot and it seemed like adidas created an […]

Nike Tiempo Legend 9 Elite MI Review

On of the best Tiempos ever Ever since its introduction in 2005 (and even back to the introduction of the series in 1984), the Tiempo Legend has been one of the most versatile kangaroo leather boots on the market. To a certain subset of players, choosing Tiempo Legend when looking for new boots is one […]

ASICS DS Light X Fly Pro Limited Review

I can’t believe its synthetic! While ASICS is mostly known for their mainline X Fly numbered series, a few years ago they came out with the X Fly Pro. The X Fly Pro has a more aggressive soleplate and an internal heel counter as well as a kangaroo leather foot. While well received, there has […]

ASICS DS Light X Fly 5 Review

Impressive The X Fly series has always been one of the major reasons why ASICS remains competitive with Mizuno in the Japanese market. Almost every team has at least a couple of players wearing the X Fly 4 (and to a lesser extent, the X Fly Pro). Popularity can be a double-edged sword since any […]

Mizuno Monarcida Elite Review

A Great Boot Mizuno’s Monarcida series is one of the reasons why the Runbird dominates the Japanese market. Coming in at a cheaper price than many other Japan made models, the Monarcida was a classic go to for people who did not want to spend the extra bit of cash on the more expensive Morelia […]

ASICS DS Light X Fly 5 Tech Breakdown

Evolution, not revolution Aside from the regular DS Light, the X Fly 4 is probably one of the most popular models in ASICS’ line up. Almost every team I have played with or against at least has one or two members wearing the boots and almost every store seems to have them in stock. So, […]

Nike and Puma Abandon K leather

Nike and Puma’s latest moves seem dishonest News broke recently that Nike was going to stop production of kangaroo leather football boots. In the announcement, Nike also mentioned that they had divested of their only kangaroo leather supplier in 2021. This comes only two weeks after Puma had announced that they will also stop the […]

Adidas Predator Accuracy .1 Low Review

A Proper Modern Predator Hopes were initially high when adidas brought back the Predator series in 2018, however, the boots were still very much just a newer version of the Ace series. It was not until the Predator Mutator in 2020 that we finally got rubber elements on the boots again. In spite of the […]
