What do you guys think? Its hands down the best looking boot adidas or nike have ever put out, and its worn by tons of pros in the world cup. Many things like this get rare after a newer model comes out and the prices for remaining stock goes up dramatically. What do you guys think, stupid idea?

As another example, if you picked up a bunch of first gen ipod nanos you could sell them each for over 300 today

Horrible idea. I am assuming you are referencing the Copa Mundial cleats, not the Predators. Adidas has had the Copa Mundial since the 1970s and it has not left their line-up, nor will it. If you want to buy cleats and hoard them, you would be better off buying the Predators. The original F50+s now can go for 2-300 a pop USED. It is impossible to find them new.

why would anybody want to buy out of date soccer cleats for more than original value?

What im thinking is the design on the copa mundials is awesome right now with the black and white. The next rendition will undoubtedly be less aesthetic

Those boots are fucking ugly. They'll go down as some of the worst looking products Adidas has produced (outside of the '94 US World Cup kits). They don't have anything on old school preds. I miss those.

Nope. Still a bad idea. They look horrible. The reason the original F50+s and Predators were fantastic was due to the fact the looked sleek and classy.






Once they reach that white and yellow combination, it went downhill.

The Tunit F50 is what dreams are made of. My friend still has a pair, though one of the studs fell out.

Nooo. I hated those boots. The studs always fell out or the sockets stripped. They looked sweet, but those f50+ were just pure class. I always wanted a pair.

Pointless. Go buy some shares in Nike or Apple or something.

Tis true. Cool idea but poorly executed. I know people that just ended up super gluing the rubber (because metal is illegal in HS) studs in. Love the look though.

And those white and yellow (gold) one were my favorite but thats just me. Had 3 pairs of those suckers.
