i have always hated the F50...don;t really know why. i can't wait to give the fingertips a try though...i liked last years as a training glove...i bet the new ones are even better...hopefully. I really like their design.

OMG anyone fancy MotorCross? Why do glove companies do this? Im sure they act the same on gloves as they do boots, I mean im all for going forward an all but it seems they jump 10 years to forward at once
I am still a big fan of the current line of Response Pros, but these gloves just don't look right to me. If they come out with a version of the Response Pro, I don't care how it looks, just as long it functions like I want it to. That s the most important issue with me.
I am not so vain on what my glove looks like, but holy crap, these gloves look ugly. It's like looking at buildings that were built in the 1970s that try to be modern and futuristic. I kind of see it more as a marketing ploy to get customers to give their gloves a shot. They look flashy, but like someone said before, it would be interesting to see what the professionals have to say or what their SMUs would look like.
The F50's look good to me cosmetically and the closure. Not excited about the palm. THe other gloves are pretty ugly...
Goalkeeping is not just a position on the field, it is a way of life, it is an attitude on and off the field.
Holy smokes- what have they done to my beloved fingertips? And the responses that I have become a fan of lately!!
The backhand design looks pretty cool. But I will never trust a palm with 'grooves' in and oddly coloured thumbs. Looks bloody daft!
Just hope that, when released, Pimp my gloves can work some magic on them!

My oh my how much in demand are clearance Adidas gloves going to be next season when these are released?
So I just got the latest Eursport Cat. and the 2009 adidas range are displayed (sorry about the quality, Camera phone)
1) Cech wearing lotto in the adidas ad;
2) F50 Pro, no more tunit crap, probably an american replacement of the repose???
3) Sala Model
there also is a carbon FS that looks like the fingertip and a wet grip that has the new PS Swerve colorway.
Can't say i'm too keen on the response, they look a bit too bright, however I do quite like the fingersaves, I know they might look a bit cheap and I would not usually choose that style of glove, but there's something about those ones that I like.
When I wrote my post earlier, the Response Pro picture for some reason didn't load correctly on my screen. After looking at that picture, it doesn't look as bad as I thought.
Quick question though, those short finger gloves look like they're winter gloves with no fingertips on them. I don't really see a point in these short finger gloves, unless you have really really short fingers. They almost look like junior gloves. This glove is just hard for me to fathom at the moment.
That type of glove is desgined for Futsal. The ball is smaller and is weighted so you tend to catch more with your palm than your finger tips. It's more parrying than catching.
Also because distrubution with your hands is a big factor in futsal, bare fingers make it easier.
Are the palms on the F-50 no longer removable?
Seattle's new kit. Wonder what Mr. Keller will wear?
I fancy them Response, the Fingertip as well, the Fingersaves not so much. I really like the blue colour on the Response probably because my favorite colour is blue. Any info on the palm is it going to be an upgrade like E8S instead of E7S?
