Reviewing the Adidas X16 PureChaos - Women's pack

x16 PureChaos.

From the moment we saw these online, we fell in love!
Not because they are for "Women", as we love wearing all types of boots, but because the colourway was so eye-catching and unique.
We were lucky enough to receive a pair from Adidas when they were just released,
and we were the first people on YouTube to upload an unboxing video of this model! 

Here's the video if you want to check it out.


First Impressions
The first thing we noticed about these boots was the appearance (obviously).
They looked explosive! 
The colour jumped out at us from the moment we opened the box.
The material of these X16's is top quality. 
The white around the front and toe area has a sticky texture with the NSG (Non Slip Grip) technology which is incredible. The soleplate is one of our favorite things about the boot. Again, the explosive colours compliment each other so well. They merge together in a paint splatter-like way, just like they do in the limited edition Paris pack Adidas previously released.
The upper is also a high quality material, which fits comfortably around the ankle area. 
Although these boots look laceless, they have laces hidden under the outer material in the midfoot section.


Trying them on for size.
After trying these on for the first time, we were extremely impressed with the fit, comfort, and the overall putting them on/taking them off process.
They literally slipped on so easily and taking them off was effortless, unlike a lot of boots nowadays.
They were such a snug fit and really matched our foot size and shape. 
As we said before, these boots do have laces to allow you to have a tighter fit, but we felt we did not need to tighten the laces.
They fit like a glove!

Testing - First Match.
Not long after we received these, Noelle wore them to one of our first games of the season.
She brought a backup pair of boots, just in case!

Noelle's views: 
"I slipped the x16's on as I did when trying them on for the first time. 
As they felt like a perfect fit, I decided not to laces them up for a tighter feel.
From the beginning, I was hugely impressed with the NSG technology. I felt so in control! My touch was better than ever. Sometimes I felt like I might trip over the ball as the ball almost stuck to my toes when dribbling, which was a great feeling. When it came to controlling the ball and take downs, the boots felt absolutely amazing! Maybe I was having a great game, or maybe the boots added an extra bit of magic. After-all, I do have 20+ pairs of boots, so I think I know how to spot the difference in boots.
What I loved about these was the fact there was ZERO break in time. 
One thing I was not completely happy with was I felt my foot slip around the boot when stopping and turning. Overall, I was happy with the boots, I also scored two goals which really made my experience testing these very enjoyable".



Cleaning:
After a few games, the boots started to get a bit dirty and the white became slightly dyed.
So here's a video of the cleaning process and how they turned out after their first bath :) 


Overall:
After wearing these boots for quite some time, our overall experience with them has been great. 
As for the slipping, we found that the problem wasn't with the boot, it was with the socks used. 
After trying out different socks with them we found cheaper socks really don't help. 
(That's what happens when clubs chose cheaper kit sponsors I suppose) 
As for the laces, We have used them to tighten to boots occasionally, but really felt no difference in comfort.
The colour does fade which is not a shock, and this in stated on the boot bag you get with the boots.
We noticed the solepate seems to be coming lose around the inner of the foot, which started to happen after a few games. Considering the price of these boots, you would hope this would not happen so soon.
Overall we loved testing these out.

Appearance - 5/5
Comfort - 5/5
Durability - 3/5

Overall rating - 4/5

Gold spray painted football boots.

Spray painted football boots.

As you may know from our YouTube channel and Instagram page, 
we received a pair of Fake PureControl's to rest and review.

We liked these boots but as we do not wear them very often, 
we decided to spray paint them and see how they hold up!


If you haven't seen them before we sprayed them, 
Here is a BEFORE pic/

They look cool, don't they?

Anyway, we wanted to spray the boot all over, except the black cloth like material 
as we wanted to try to replicate the latest Limited Edition Adidas Space Craft boot.

We covered the cloth material with masking tape, which is amazing for covering they parts you want to keep away from paints, etc.
You can see this process on our YouTube channel , 
Here is the video ---->  


Please subscribe.



 

In the pictures above, you can see the boot has been completely sprayed gold 
to match the Space Craft look.



                                              Then we removed the masking tape, 
                              to find the black was completely clean and looked amazing.



Spray painting boots is NOT recommended by us, this was simply a test on fake/cheap boots to see how they would look and if they paint would actually last.
We have 2 spray painted boot videos and the majority of people have asked the same question.
"DOE'S THE PAINT COME OFF?"

To see our answer, subscribe to our YouTube channel and get notified when we post the new video.


Again, spray painting boots is not ideal. 
But it was a lot of fun! 
So if you want to try if out, watch our video to get ideas and ask an adult to help or supervise 
as it can get messy if not done right.

G-Form shin guards.

G-Form

We received these Shin Guards from G-form recently and we were extremely impressed!



Who are G-form?

G-Form have created the most protective and comfortable athletic equipment on the market.
G-Form was founded by avid athletes that shared in a common vision of using advanced polymer technology to revolutionize impact protection and vibration dampening for competition.
G-form specialize in protective wear for sports such as Soccer, Cycling, Skiing, Skate boarding and extreme sports. 
They also have a protective range for the likes of iPhone's, iPad's, Laptop's, which look very cool indeed! 



The first thing we noticed about our G-form shin guards was the cool packaging they come in. The box actually opens like a book, which is filled with interesting information.

As you can see in the picture above, G-form shin guards are:
-Washable
-Breathable
-Lightweight
-Flexible

                  

Our first impressions on these shin guards were:
- Easy to put on.
- A great fit. 
- Extremely comfortable and soft.
- Incredibly light.
- They look really cool.

We have used many shin guards over the years but these are something else!

We especially love the built in sleeve. 
Losing your shin guard sleeves is really annoying, 
and buying shin guards that don't come with sleeves is even more annoying!!!
G-form make wearing shin guards pretty easy. 
No sock tape necessary. No looking all over the house for your sleeves. 
No fixing the shin guards during games.


Normally after wearing a pair of shin guards for quite a long period of time we feel pain/discomfort.
(Especially with the 'waffle' inner part of shin guards by Nike, which we used previously)

We can honestly say, we could probably wear the G-form shin guards to bed and still have no issues.
Maybe We'll do a test video of it!  
Just kidding.


Although G-form are more expensive than your every-day shin guards, they are well worth it!
We've lost count at how many pairs of shin guards we've bought over the past few years,
and had to change due to discomfort, wear and tear or because they are hard to clean and smell horrible!

As they say, 'You get what you pay for'.

G-form Shin Guards - GWG approved!!!

To get yours, go to www.g-form.com

The new MAMBA BALL!

The red MAMBA BALL is finally here!


As red is my favorite colour, I was especially excited about this new product by our friends at Mamba.
 We received our ball on the 2nd of June, the day before its actual release date! 

We loved the presentation box it came in, with red crep paper which was a nice little touch.



The Mamba ball is the ultimate training ball!
It has a unique grip design which gives you extra control to improve your game!
It is great for those who want to practice their skills, improve their touch, learn tricks and play with friends.

The Mamba Ball costs £20 (27.96Euro/$30.56)
 It comes in a small box, with a pump and leaflet included.
The pin for the pump is hidden in the handle which is pretty cool.
We all know how easy it is to lose those tiny pins so it is very handy to have a save please to keep it.


                                           

The Mamba Ball doesn't take long to pump.
Personally, I prefer this ball to the yellow one.
The red looks awesome and the I found the yellow gets so dirty so easily.

Check out our Unboxing video on YouTube!

So, If you are curious about the size difference, here are the two balls together!
Red (Size 4) and Yellow (Size 5)
Which one do you prefer? 



This ball is perfect for Street Soccer!

How to clean your boots - GWG style!


How to clean your boots - GWG style!

It's not easy to get your boots clean, 
but we show you how to get them as clean as possible,
the GWG way!

Here we have Before & After pictures of my dirty Nike Mercurial Vapors.
Look how clean they are against the dirty ones! 
That shine!!!


To see the boot cleaning video, Click the link below.
Please subscribe!

So, to get started you will need three things:
- Flash (Multi Purpose) 
- A nail brush/sponge
- Warm water

Remember to remove the laces before you begin!

Once you have these things, all you need to do is use a small amount of Flash and gently 
scrub the boot with the nail brush/sponge.
You will notice the boots start to become cleaner instantly.
This is a quick process and it leaves your boots looking almost as good as new.

Here is another example of how good the GWG boot cleaning method really is!

I got my hands on a pair of these old Vapors and I decided to give them a little scrub to see
if it makes them look any better.

BEFORE




DURING
AFTER!

I wasn't sure how these would turn out as they are very old, but I think they turned out AMAZING!
They look almost new again!

What do you think of the difference?
 


I would highly recommend trying this out,
especially if you have old boots with black marks and crusty dirt that you cannot seem remove!

 Let me know how it works for you and send your Before & After
boot pictures to girlswithgame2015@gmail.com

It looked amazing and was really fun! 




How do you think it looks?

Adidas Predator colour repair.

Adidas Predator colour repair.

Predators are a classic. It would be a sin to throw these beauties in the bin.
So, we decided to give them a little TLC and repair the colour.

We used Red leather dye, similar to the colour of the boots already.
The dye cost less than 10euro on eBay.ie.

As you can see in the pictures below, the leather is torn and faded.






The GWG Office.


Here are pictures on how the boots turned out.
They look fresh and vibrant again.

What do you think?
