Adidas Predator Lethal Zones

I went to Pavilion today and saw the LZs in Adidas. MYR 799... What the ???
At Sports Direct: GBP 112.99 for Blue
For the White/Black: GBP 99.99

Of course, the official price is GBP 160

Comparison between Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII FG and SG pro

FG 

• Lighter
• Fore foot section is more flexible
• Twin studs at the back 
• A bit cheaper
• 'Quicker release from ground'

• Not suitable on turf
• Twin studs at the back might break
• 'Studs are molded'
• Only bladed studs

SG Pro

• Interchangeable studs (screw-in)
• More traction on SG
• Mixture of FG molded bladed studs as well as aluminium SG studs.
• 'Suitable for any condition' (HG, SG, FG)
• More support at fore foot section

• Heavier
• Stiffer fore foot
• A bit more expensive

Jalan Keranji 2

There is a really nice 3 storey house in Jalan Keranji 2. A white Audi R8 was parked inside, right in front of the house. There were several people dressed in a sort of 'bell boy' uniform outside.
Damn, that house looks so grand.

There was a Porsche Panamera parked outside the house next to it.

Pavilion

OMG Pavilion was so crowded today. Try finding a parking space at 8pm :|

I went to the Nike store in Pavilion and tried the Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII FG in US size 10/UK9.
Wow the fit was so perfect... The length was good. The toe box had a really nice fit. No stud pressure at all when I walked around. On seconds thoughts, the mid-foot was not that narrow. Now I know why Mercurials are so popular. I think I should follow the US size for Nike, because it's American. The UK sizes tend to be bigger. I like the solar red (pink) so much. Probably the nicest out of the clash collection. If I can't get the SG pro version in the clash collection, I might consider the seaweed colourway. I don't mind the FG version. (depending on the condition of the school field)

Malaysia is not very fast when it comes to bringing in new football boots. Shops don't have SG boots. I don't think they are popular here. In England yeah...
There is a new seaweed/volt colorway, but I'm not sure if I like that.

There is also the new CTR 360 Maestri III. Quite cool looking yellow /red with black. This model has fins at the side for passing as well as dimples at the mid-foot to increse friction for control and touch. (Kind of like the Adidas Predator Lethal Zones)

Looks like Nike is using a lot of Black/dark colours on their latest boots.



I really like the Juventus 2011-2012 Away jersey. It's pink with a star in front. Sadly, the new 2013 jersey is black.

What??? Nike GS replica. They sure can copy anything.
Hahahaha... I might buy this for SGD 80 just for fun, since the originals are USD 300 and limited edition. 

Almost 5 times cheaper X

That explains it. Today I saw a black Jaguar XJL while getting stuck in traffic. The other day, a BMW 7 series. Other days: Mercedes S-class. No bloody duty/tax. 

Mid Vallley

I went to Mid Valley with Jin,Dustin and Zach. We ate at Delicious. I had duck confit with spaghettini.Nice.
We watched an animated movie by Pixar 'Brave'. I was thinking... Scottish accent? Glasgow perhaps?
It turns out, Princess Merida's voice was by Kelly Macdonald. Interesting. I really like the accent.
We went for some bowling. Lolll 102,107. In the second game, I kept getting 9-9-9-9 -.-  (Unlucky)



I also went to the Nike Store in Mid Valley. I found the Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII FG clash collection colourway and tried it on. That particular one was US 11/UK10. Hmm... it was too big in the fore foot section. I think US10.5/UK9.5 (out of stock) will be fine. I did not try the US10/UK9. As expected, the mid-foot section was narrow. I really like the material.
Wow the price: MYR769 (I saw the price online)
The down side: MADE IN CHINA ???? Seriously? I was expecting Bosnia. At least that is made in Europe. 
 The shoe size tag was not on the tongue (like the ones that are made in Bosnia), but at the side.
The store didn't seem to have SG boots.

Anything goes when you have a  № 1 license plate (WSX 1) and an Audi Q7 3.0 Hahaha...
The Audi was trying to turn right, but unfortunately was in the wrong lane. It was alright. It just went in front of the first car and turned right. Another car behind it followed suit.

That was so funny. The first car did nothing to prevent that.


WOW the lights on the Audi... stunning.

Nike GS

The Nike GS looks quite interesting.
It's limited edition. It's more limited than I thought it would be. 2012 pairs
I was expecting 5000 or something.
The GS is supposed to be very green.
Lightest at 160g
 Pebax Renu  + TPU sole plate


Price: $300
Hmm... $100 more expensive than the Vapor 8.

The colourway looks nice. Black and green.
However, I still like the Mercurial VIII's Solar Red and also the glass fiber sole plate.

I just realised that "The Soccer Scene website is operated by SportsDirect.com"
Trolll

But what I don't understand is: There is no Mercurial Vapor VIII SG Pro on the Sports Direct Website.

The SG Pro version is tempting. Just £3 more than the FG version. 




Let's compare the differences: 




FG:
More flexible (top of sole plate has 1 layer of glass fiber. Bottom has 2 layers)
Lighter

Yeah, new stock from Sports Direct.

NIKE MERCURIAL VAPOR VIII FG CLASH COLLECTION (SOLAR RED)
7,8,9,10,11,12

OMG nice... so many sizes.

GBP 109.99
This seems to be the price.
 The Mango/Sail versions are priced at GBP 99.99 at Sports Direct. Aw man £10 more for the Clash collection :|

I have seen £80 price tag  before online(Mango), but it was sold out.

Whereas for the SG Pro version, the price seems to be GBP 112.99 for both the Clash collection and the Mango colourways. (Soccer Scene)

Sports Direct is clearly not encouraging people to buy the Vapor VIIs (same price as the Vapor VIIIs and plenty of stock)
Very enticing XX
Please make the Vapor 8s cheaper.

The Nike Mercurial Vapor VIIIs are disappearing fast on Sports Direct :| I have noticed the Solar Red  FG edition literally disappearing from the Sports Direct. The size numbers keep diminishing (disappearing) with each passing minute and them poof...gone. Even the mango/sail version is not spared. The sizes keep disappearing... Of course there is plenty of stock for the Miracle, Glide, Victory ranges. Interesting.
The Solar Red FG version costs £109.99 . Gone.
Rich Brits...

The Mango FG version: Only 7,10 left. (Retailing at £99.99)  This price is the same as the Vapor VII. That has plenty of stock. I can understand why so many people want the Vapor 8s.
