My daughter has been wearing Adidas Predators for years now...ever since the first Beckham version. I wish they were $100/Slick. More like twice that. And she wears out about 2 pair per year.

You could be like JC and have 15 different uniforms at u13 from all the teams your kid has been on.

I don't know what soccer world you inhabit, but young girls that you watch are not the sole arbitors of cleats and soccer equipment. Adidas is huge in Europe always has great cleats, Predator, Copa Mundial, Adizero is just a few. It's like arguing Chevy vs Ford. If you don't like it that doesn't mean it's a tired brand. Hit Adidas as a you tube search and you will find out it is still a youth brand. I believe Adidas is the first to make a jersey with sensors that measure distance, speed, heart rate. Adidas made the World Cup ball they are on the leading edge regarding technology and product line.

What planet are you from ?

Based on what ? Your Flea Market booth sales

Wow... nuff said about the best brand names. Buy the company stock if you think the brand is the best. Tell your girls to work on the skills, brands don't matter.

based on what? wait until your kid attends events where they play two games in a day and a few training sessions here and there then they'll prefer the copa mundial vs the colorful plastic cleats like nike's. as i have said in time, you will understand.

2 games a day???? Sorry, we don't do that. I did not realize that you still did. The top platforms play one match a day, not two. This speaks to why you are making your lid wear outdated boots.

It is 2012, do you really think technology has not advanced since 1970? The only boot I see on the top tier players is the
Nike Mercurial Vapor. On the boys side I do see some Adidas.

My point was however that old folks are insisting that young girls wear Adidas uniforms when the girls would choose Nile or Puma 9 to 1.

Poster, you are too young to be so old.

You may be right, but put my kids in adidas mundial and they look like athletes not neon endorsement signs. I like my kids to look classy and respect themselves and the game. Black and white all the way. I am sure your daughter brings a pink ball with glitters to training also.

Sign 21 that you're a soccer parent: you argue incessantly about soccer shoes and uniform brands when there are so many other important topics to concern yourself with. You argue so much that you completely throw off the discussion on what started out as a fun thread and has turned into a thread about subjective tastes in gear.

Maybe start a uniform/soccer shoes thread to get your fill on that topic?
