Soccer Shoes Adidas adizero RS7 Pro Shoes - Infrared/Cobalt & White/Red

Boot choice is a very unique and individual thing, the type of player who's worn Copa Mundials wouldn't likely switch into a pair of Superfly's, or someone who wears black boots probably wouldn't jump at the PowerCat Elektro's. So here presents to you an interesting case - the adizero RS7 boots - technically a rugby boot, but if they're your personal choice is there anything wrong with wearing them?

Before we talk about the tech of these new adizero RS7 rugby boots, lets get to the main question on everyones mind - can you play football in them? Well yes, we've checked regarding boot specifications and can confirm you are legally allowed to play football in the new adizero RS7 Rugby boots.


Better still, there is no obvious bespoke rugby branding on these adizero's, which some fans will notice aren't too dissimilar to the adizero 5-star American Football cleats, because as usual you get the standard 'adizero' text on the toe and 'sprint frame' on the outsole.



The next question to answer then is - would you want to play football in the adizero RS7 Pro boots? Which brings us back to our original question regarding personal choice, because technically these boots offer the same performance characteristics as the standard football adizero. But the colours and design offer something different to what currently exists.

The White/Red adizero's are a clean and classy colourway we've yet to really see in the range, apart from the whiteout synthetic and leather versions. Whilst the Infrared/Cobalt versions are an eye-catching number that will stand-out on pitch, and mixes just two colours rather than three and is without any of the artwork over the toe area.



As we know the adizero's are all about lightweight speed, and with their Sprint Frame outsole adidas really made a breakthrough in the market, therefore it's no surprise to see it on the RS7 Pro adizero Rugby boots. Around 50% lighter than all other regular TPU outsoles, the Sprint Frame still delivers a strong and stable mid-foot area designed to help prevent injury's, whilst giving you the reactivity and flex needed for acceleration.

The stud configuration is slightly different, with a combination of molded Traxion studs and longer exchangeable aluminium studs, which combine for maximum acceleration and speed on wet surfaces. But what might surprise a few people by not changing, is that adidas have still finished the adizero RS7 with the synthetic print and textured surface to help improve control when striking the ball - ideal for footballers!

With the winter season coming before summer in Europe, these adidas adizero RS7 Pro boots could be a real option for some boot fans out there. They not only look great, but you can be quite sure there won't be another player on the pitch wearing the same boots as you! Obviously the debate will still rage on, but ultimately is it not a case of personal preference?Plus a nice bonus, these versions come in slightly cheaper than their football counterparts at around £140 GBP / $190 USD / €170 EURO.



MTC: Bloomington K9

I've always wanted to do this concept. K9 would be a very cool name for a minor league baseball team. It's unique, and has 9, similar to baseball teams of old. I sketched up the dog, made it on inkscape, adjusted, and here it is.

Nike Juventus Away Jerseys Season 2011-2012

So here it is. The replica shirt that will have the whole world talking! Italian giants Juventus will turn heads this season wearing the new 11/12 Nike Juventus Away Jersey – a unique design and colour that certainly won't go unnoticed!

The new 11/12 Juventus Away Shirt is a modern design that pays homage to the Turin side's illustrious history. Delivered in an audacious bright pink, the away jersey is now dominated by an over-sized black star across the front of the shirt. The shorts that will compliment the new Juventus Away shirt are black, while the socks are completely black except for a small ‘J’ on the calf.


uventus are one of the few football teams that have become famed for wearing pink jerseys. Following the foundation of the club in 1897, Juventus wore pink coloured shirts with black shorts for six years before switching to the traditional black and white stripes.

Besides the colour, the main talking point has to be the unmissable star that drastically dominates the front of the shirt from neck to waist. The unique feature alludes to the Champions League success of 1996 where Juventus claimed European glory wearing a blue shirt with over-sized gold stars on the shoulder.

The strips also actively contribute to the regulation of athlete’s body temperature on the pitch thanks to the Nike Dri-FIT fabric. The shirts contain a new aerodynamic fit, now more slender, which offers 17% more elasticity than the previous shirt. The new shirts are made entirely with Nike’s innovate recycled polyester: each one is produced directly from the recycling of fourteen plastic water bottles.

MTC Design


My friend Neil from Minnesota and I were talking about starting a design company deal. Try to promote ourselves, and make some cash. His nickname is TC, and we were coming up with things that it could stand for(Such as Top Cat). We started thinking, and he said if we ever go into business, our name should be MTC, and it could mean anything. I said, “Why don’t we?” We decided we would make logos for the new company, and get back to eachother. He went to bed, and I went to work. The next morning, I messaged him this logo on facebook, and he responded, “Fuck you.”

I also made a template.


If you see this, and have a request, feel free to ask!
