Young Gun Proves Deadly

DonJulio — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:29:03 GMT

When you're young, you think you can take on the world. Sometimes you're right.

With his team down 2-0 to Juventus, Marek Hamsik decided enough was enough.

In the 58th minute he slotted in at the far post to ignite the comeback. But that was just the beginning.

Less than 10 minutes to go, 2-2. Marek ran onto a perfectly cushioned ball and lashed a shot into the top corner for all three points.

Just wait until he's unleashed in South Africa next year.

Tiempo SL: Light in touch, heavy in class

Gronamo — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:58:52 GMT

Everyone in soccer knows that form is temporary, but class is permanent. And, there’s no more sophisticated boot than the new Tiempo Super Ligera.

Crafted from the softest kangaroo leather, the boot’s contours are designed to mold to your feet the longer you play in them, offering unparalleled comfort and control. Whatever the game throws at you, a suede collar keeps your ankle cushioned, while the flexible outsole and dual density studs give you the on-field traction you need to make the most of the ball when it comes your way.

Weighing in at 25% less than the classic Air Legend, the Super Ligera is the latest and lightest Tiempo boot. And when every extra gram you carry means a split second less to play that killer pass, you need to know that what you’re packing on your feet is the very best out there, pound for pound.
