Being a (recreational) soccer player, this news item naturally caught my eye: adidas recently announced a new concept in soccer boots, a modular boot. The new +F50 TUNIT, as the model is called, consists of 3 interchangeable components: the upper, the chassis and the studs. Of course, each part comes in different styles and functions to suit different weather and pitch conditions. Now you can decide how your boot will look and work. Already, adidas has lined up quite a number of star players to wear the new shoes at the 2006 World Cup in Germany this summer. I’d love to get my feet into a pair of these, but I can already imagine the price tag attached to these puppies.

What happened to the IE 7 Beta 2 article?
They’re running at £111 for the full system with one upper, one set of studs and one ‘chassis’, at http://www.prodirectsoccer.com Not sure exactly how that converts to dollars i guess around $200.
