Just buy a low end FG boot like the Mercurial Victory or something similar. Playing soccer without cleats sucks, and like @louislagerfeld said, it's an injury waiting to happen.
They pop up on ebay from time to time. Last I checked there's been a DS size 10.5 that's been sitting for a while at $200, you may try to message the seller and see if he'll move on the price.
Received these Obra FGs from NDC earlier this afternoon, so dope. Got lucky even getting my size 10.5 as they'd been OOS for a while and to make it even better... scored them for 30% off (15% NDC code + 15% ebates).
@jpcarlo Those are legit. No comment on the price beyond saying that those have been well worn and don't appear to include insoles, so I wouldn't pay a premium.
That neon pack...
Really wish Nike would just release some halfway normal color ways for their boots. I've been wanting to pickup some Magista Obras for a while, but of course the only color ways I like are long gone from NDC in my size.
Agreed with both of y'all regarding the fake racers, but it doesn't surprise me one bit that people have trouble seeing the difference - look at the fake trainers for example, those are so blatant yet there are still almost daily postings asking for a legit check.
Anyone recall about how long it took for the first NSW wave to release on NDC after dropping at all the Euro retailers? I have an NDC code I'd like to finally put to use.
Have you checked with your landlord/property management to see if they'll allow you to alter the unit? Basically every rental lease won't let you do much beyond hang pictures without their approval.
