Our first professional player wearing the new 2009 boots! exciting times - Danny webber playing this weekend for Sheffield united

In a life that totally revolves around football, Chris Stibich has developed in to a mainstay on the Whitworth University team in Spokane, WA. Chris helped lead the Pirates to their second straight NCAA Division III Northwest conference title this year, the fourth championship in the last five years.

And there was Chris trying out his first pair of Conave PT1’s

My first impression is all positive…..what really stood out to me is how the concave component takes all the spin off the ball when you take it full instep! The ball went straight to where i was aiming like it was on a rail. And after what i have worn for the last two years, these are so comportable!

We’ll be following some of Chris’ planned activities as they unfold during the months ahead: this summer in an under 23 Men’s league in California, then at the Tahuichi Soccer camp in Bolivia, his return to Whitworth, and subsequently a semester playing in Japan to test the waters for a possible shot at signing there.

Chris has posted a 5-star review on the Concave product page at soccer.com

Stay tuned!

We here at the company spend a great deal of time on Soccernet! It’s a great daily source for all things football worldwide. So it came with some surprise and a great deal of gratitude that the folks over there decided to try out our boots and review them.

There was no big announcement or hoopla, but the Concave PT-1 firm ground boot suddenly showed up at the www.soccer.com online store this past week. Cheers!

To view this remarkable new technology soccer boot that is destined to change the game forever, you can use ‘Plan A’ and go directly on the Concave product page by clicking the following link: Concave PT-1

‘Plan B’ is also fairly simple: Goto the soccer.com site, from the Search box at the top of landing page goto ‘Concave’ and click on the listing.

‘Plan C’ is considerably more adventurous: Goto the soccer.com site, click Footwear on the left hand SHOP column, then Firm Ground, then View All Firm Ground , then quickly scroll down the alphabetized product listing until you come to the only ‘C’ (as in Concave) entry.

As our first USA retail partner, the Eurosport/soccer.com folks are basically sneaking us onto their site before all the usual pieces are in place. In fact, the only option right now is to pre-order for late September. But access to the Concave product page will improve very shortly.

Meanwhile, regardless of which path you take, select your size and quantity, go ahead and ‘Add Item to Gear Bag’, and execute a pre-order that guarantees you’ll be among the first to receive your PT-1’s directly from a North American source.

Then give us your feedback, we want to hear from you!

The Concave kickertube, pictured here, allows you to try out our new boot and test your skills by seeing how fast you propel the ball.   This particular event was at Trafford Centre, Manchester during the product rollout at JJB Sports store in August.  Watch for information on other scheduled events. 

Kenny Dalglish (second from right) was recently in singapore and was wearing our Kanagaroo leather black and white Turf model. These unfortunately are not available to the public yet.

We have designed a unique and fun way to display the benefits of the boot using what we call a kickertube. If you want to try the boot out, and while doing so have your ball speed recorded, stay tuned for scheduled events that we post from time to time.

Last we checked the record was 67 MPH.

Alot of people have expressed a wish to try the boot before buying - this is your chance! also there are Concave employees on hand to answer any questions about the boot or the technology.

Concave boots are available online through our exclusive UK retailer JJBsports

Here’s a shot of the Concave perimeter board in Wigan - a reminder that the boots are available at selected JJB Sports stores throughout the UK.  Try ‘em out and let us know your reaction.
