pair of copa mundials is all one needs.
Can you imagine trying to clean the muck off them after plying on a waterlogged pitch?!
Every parent’s worst nightmare. My wallet feels lighter already!
Time you told your kid the word no!
Ye’d wanna be fairly fast and skillful to get away with wearing them on a cold sunday in wexford
Would go down a storm in the junior b North Tipperary hurling championship! Old bitter full backs would love to see lads wearing these
Nonsense
The Metatarsal will become even more popular so!
Here’s hoping , Suarez will be the first one to try them out :-)
He is the first one actually, against united. As a Liverpool fan I’m dreading it. Imagine vidic going in on one of these things. Break your foot off
No, Suarez is trialling the knitted boot, not this.
With the sock bit I mean
Read the story about Paul Scholes purchasing boots for €30 at JD sports before his comeback at city, says it all!
How do you wash the sock? What happens if you get a hole in it!! Even worse image away matches with a different kit!!! Youd need home amd away boots!!!
Hmmm somebody on the pitch to hurt
What ever happened to good old Puma Kings?
Boots of the future hahahahahahahahahashahahahaahahahahahaahahahagagagagagahha……… Wwwwwwoooooioooooooooooo……..!
So when will the nike team blouse and tu-tu shorts be available?
Bad idea. They will weaken players ankles.
Like boxing shoes only with studs
