Nike T90 Laser

I have been using the Strikes for nine months and am ASTOUNDED by the high quality in the lesser vresion of the boot. My Lasers are on their way, and I can not wait to see what the big brother has to bring.

The Strikes are made very well. I found a razor blade from my art suplies sticking in the side of my left boot, and after four months the hole is only a millimeter wide. The leather is a little stiff to start, but practically melts to your foot once it breaks in. The ciment used to join the upper to the plate is high quality, as the only sign of wear is the outer bit of leather FINALLY cracking a little. The white leather loses it's shade a bit, and you can see some leather fibers, but I think that makes them look bada**!

The studs do their job so well I had to get used to being able to stop as soon as the idea came to mind. After two accidental flips, I was touching my elbow to the ground on turns and hard stops. I felt like the king of physics :]

The pods, which are the only ball control enhancing tech on the strikes, did their job and then some. Nike claims that they will provide uniform striking surface. They did, and placing the ball was second nature. Nike claims an increase in striking power. I say about 30% if you use them right.

Too bad the strikes don't have the TPU fins. The leather was great for recieving a ball, but raised find would give it that bit of stick I dream of!

These are a bit heavy as far as boots go. Honestly, I didn't notice. I went from a light boot to these, and all that happened was I got these things called manly man legs.

Oh, wait... I've been working out... My bad >.>

I guess some of the weight comes from these things being as comfy as freakign slippers. I stuck my foot in and it didn't want to come out. I had to beat it with a lead pipe before it would leave the cleat, which took a while because they're so well padded!

My negatives?

1) These things are freaking addictive! I won't wear centered lacing in a game now that I've had these beauts.

2) I thought a cleet was a cleet, all that changed from one model to the other was looks. These things proved me WRING. Still a little upset about that >=-\

3) They're real foot huggers. It's a bit tricky to get your foot in without messing up your all-important lacing symmetry, and they fit so well to your foot that you have to mess it up all over again to get it out. Or, of course, you could use a lead pipe. Your chouce ^.^

So yeah, get online and find some Nike Total90 Laser IIIs for your soccer playing friends and/or yourself. I promise that these slightly wide, snug boots will please for at least two seasons.

this depends on if you get the replicas or the pro version. i have only used the replicas as the pros seem very bad value for money (£100-120) considering they are only football boots and they dont improve your game THAT much. also the fact that torres and rooney wear them is because they get a lot of money for wearing them from sponsorships and they have enough money to buy every football boot in the world twice with only one weeks wages (after tax). the t90s have a proven track record and the sole plate (studs/blades) are the same as the immensely popular t90 v2s so if you are used to the last t90s they these boots should be good for you. the heel counter (im not sure if it has changed from the last t90s)is very good and shouldnt give you blisters. the boots also tend to be long and thin (which they say is for a better touch) can improve dribbling but the front can sometimes get stuck in the ground as you take the shot (a bit of a nuisance as the boots are for accuracy/power) causing you to hit the ball with little power and inaccurately (and make you look a bit of a fool, but it isnt that bad because you learn to avoid hitting the ground and can get really spectacular results when you hit it right). i got these boots in a size bigger as often with football boots they are tight and give you blisters. these boots are quite comfortable, but occasionally you can get blisters on the outside of your small toe right after you get the boot but it really will sort itself out. there are 2 colour schemes for this boot (green, red, black, and gold, white, black) and both attract quite a bit of attention. but when you hit the ball right you can really curl it and power it. also you can hit it with pretty much any part of your foot when you want power (inside, outside, toe poke)which is useful for tight angle shots. also you can sprint well in these and dribbling is also very good and the shot is ace if you have the right boot size. in the wet they get a bit heavy but dry off well and the weight doesnt effect play that much.

Great overall boots.

improves shooting power alot

improves accuracy

improves traxion

improves touch

I found them to be quite heavy.

I would recomend it. You get a lot of power on the ball and there good for doing dribbling. The only bad thing is the shoe is pritty hard to get on

Great boot. Better than pred and much better than vapors!!!

They started out very comfortable and I scored twice from distance.They do seem to improve the amount of swerve on your shot by quite a bit and they seem to allow me to launch the ball far and accurately, however you're not guaranteed this all the time.Very comfortable however can get very heavy in the wet.I've had them for about 5 months and they've done fairly well.Would recommend them but Predators are better but require more intensive care.Also fairly pricey but the leather ones seem to be better and longer lasting than their synthetic counter-parts.

Brilliant boot not so brilliant price.

If Rio and Rooney wear them they can't be bad
