Wasn't there huge scouse uproar last time Liverpool had a shirt with a hint of blue on it?

Yes, which is utterly absurd considering the first home kit from the 1890s was blue.

From a distance they just look like beigey-brown boots with blue trim. I wonder if the texture would help impart spin?

I'm sure a lot of hard science went into those and it isn't just a gimmicky way to turn thousands of recycled plastic bottles into millions of pounds.

Well they already make Primeknit running shoes so it's probably just a way to make the most of that technology and try to one-up Nike's Flyknit stuff which has a much larger market share at the moment

They're much more comfortable and well built than the poverty spec versions that you get on the cheap so possibly?

I can't believe it's 2014 and we're still using that loving clip art monstrosity of a crest. The centennial one was so good. I'd 100% be ok if they just said they'd be using that for the WC. The red piping on this one makes it look like a loving dad polo from Tommy Hilfiger.

Love those knitted boots. Not that I'd buy them at that price but if someone produces similar shoes for less money I totally would.

I'm wondering how it looks after, like, 5 games. How quickly does that stuff wear away? I had a pair of Puma v1.06s that feel apart in less than a year and my PTSD is flaring up just looking at those knit boots.

Edit: Basically what TheBigAristotle said.

Hello new boots.

I wear Mercurials at the moment which are nice to play in but I'm not a huge fan of the way they look.
