    I was having a look for a pair of boots and came across these. Personally I think they look decent but a lot of the other Adidas ones look much better. Even the older Olympic ones look way better.

    Obviously I don't know what they perform like but they look kind of strange. What do you guys think of them?

    I'm disappointed, the 2008 olympic shoes were HOT. These are ugly as ****

    Yeah, I'm thinking of getting a pair of the 2008 ones if they come down in price closer to the Olympics.

    I got the two pairs of the Jordan Show Boxers if anyone wants to buy a pair.

    So would you say it's not worth the £140 or so? Althought I expect them to come down in price a bit they are still gonna be expensive.

    I'm thinking either the 2008 Adidas or the Adidas Tygun which is much cheaper or the Nike Machomai. Haven't fully decided yet.

    I got the Tygun 2 in blue which are pretty good. Still think the Tygun 1 are the best boots, only problem is they wear down too quick.

    Machomais are awesome. After I got my Showboxers I gave them to a friend of mine who can't afford boots, and I regret not getting another pair!

    I don't think they look bad at all, a lad in our gym has just got them and they actually look pretty good.
