so /sp/, ive been playing soccer a lot lately, and i wanted to upgrade from the cleats and ball ive had for close to 3 years. so first off, the cleats. i currently have a pair of red and black adidas, the most common ones you see everywhere with three white stripes (i think theyre raptors or some shit) but since theyre worn down, i cant get a lot of grip on the ball for both shooting and handling. what cleats have good grip for the aforementioned handling and shooting? i dont want bank breaking cleats that i have to order from europe, so keep that in mind.

second, the ball. ive heard of the new adidas ball (pictured related) that doesnt have stitching, but is pressure glued on or something of that nature. however, ive been told by multiple friends and retailers that this ball is only availible in europe, so i would have to order it. not only that, but it has a steep price, and if im paying $120 for a ball, it had better be worth it. so, is it worth the wait and $120, or will regular balls serve me fine? if so, are any balls better than others?

tl;dr what are /sp/'s favorite soccer balls and cleats

Oh Yeah op - don't pay $120 for a ball either it's not worth it, but by all means spend that much on cleats ;)

I was the smart ass who posted the brontosaurus thing. For a soccer ball just get a good practice ball. They are designed to not break up. The ball you are thinking about is a match ball. You would probably rip it to shreds fairly quickly.

As for cleats--COPA MUNDIALS!

Boots: Puma, and yes, the fuck-ass expensive ones.
Ball: Nike/Adidas anything, probably the newest series. And yeah, dont buy an expensive ball. Not worth it. A ball is a ball is a ball unless you're playing at pro level.

The ball isn't as important. I don't know what kind of area you train and play in, but the amount of times I've seen my ball(s) get kicked over a massive fence or to somewhere we couldn't get it back, it's not worth spending lots.

Boots, any pair WILL do. There is no difference in football boots apart from what kind of laces you like, the kind of studs, and how sexy they look.

Footballs, same thing. Go to you local sports shop, there should be a big bin/barrel/pit with basketballs/footballs/rugbyballs etc. Pick a football out of that, make sure its pumped, and go have a kick about.

No such thing as friction on a boot. You can get less friction in muddy and wet conditions but never more friction.
