Truly great things can happen in this world. Wonderful, magnificent, miraculous occurrences that relieve you of breath, and instill a whimsical daze for weeks to come. These are the moments that define their genre; they are the benchmark for all that follows. Reading through several websites, and looking at upcoming catalogs, a fantastical notion hit me today...
Will this season, Spring 2012, be the greatest ever in football boots history?
Indeed, somewhat odd, yeah? Hear me out. The season is started in high fashion with the Vapor 8's, highly controversial boots due to their lack of a Flywire option. Many were skeptical of the exotic mango adorning the purportedly "suede" like finish. All publicity is good publicity. It is impossible to count the number of players who now pledge their allegiance to the Mercurial line. A groundbreaking release in its own right, and I believe most would've been satisfied with simply a large Nike release.
Sometimes you don't have to ask to get what you want.
We began the May releases on Saturday, with the public launch of the the Predator LZ's, arguably the most revolutionary boot in the already revolutionary Predator silo. These boots were the product of years of testing, development, and design. Supposedly, they have been in production since before the adiPower's were thought of, boots that are now a year old. That leads one to believe the LZ's have seen at least 3 years of tweaking! Already, many keynote players have chosen to don the "Lethals", a nickname some faithful have bestowed upon the shoes.
"Slow down!" you are undoubtedly pleading, "the excitement will diminish the power of my heart, and I will not have enough love for your site and YouTube channel!" 'Tis a risk I shall take. Prepare your heart to beat as never before, as the list of Spring releases only grows (at this point, one may want to begin playing the opening number of 2001: A Space Odyssey, a ballad almost befitting of this epic occasion):
- Adizero miCoach (Spark/Ocean/White/Silver) - A boot many fo you were eager to find out about (Check out my upcoming boots video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv07q_tl1-o&lc=ulFVrLxRRsqqGH5xxKHprr1Uj9vYRyrUEb4oRTM4KiM&feature=inbox)
