If you’re ready to perfect your footballing skills, then get ready for the 1st June with SportsDirect.com.  You can now pre-order the new Adidas Predator LZ TRX football boots from the UK’s leading sportswear retailer. The latest predators are available for both adults and kids from just £23.99 online.

The newly-engineered boot is lighter and more deadly than ever with specialist rubber technology integration to help with ball control. Not only that, but the new ‘zones’ serve different skill purposes so you can excel in every move. The ‘drive’ zone of the football boot creates a rebound effect, ideal for reaching longer distances with extra power behind the ball.

For greater control and ball contact, there are the ‘first touch’ and ‘dribble’ zones which are designed specifically to increase contact time to enhance passing, receiving and dribbling skills. Finally, there’s the ‘sweet sport’ zone, designed to gain a faster pace whilst you’re on the ball. All this and the boot still only weigh in at 225 grams!

These fantastic football boots are also available with the Adidas miCoach integration. The intelligent speed cell fits perfectly in to the boot so you can then record and share your personal game stats, ideal if you’re training for a big match!

Packing vs Rolling- Which is the Best way to Pack a Suitcase?

May 02, 2012   Giulia   No comments

When it comes to travelling, packing can be the most stressful part of the preparation process.  Distinguishing essentials from luxuries, catering for every weather event, plus making sure there’s enough room in the case for gifts on the way back! To avoid any extra stress when going on a holiday, business trip or overnight visit, leading suitcases retailer SportsDirect.com set about a mission to find the best suitcase packing method.

After conducting an online survey, the UK’s travellers decided that overall, folding was the most popular packing method with a huge 64% of the vote- allowing holiday goers to organise travel items into neat piles.

Whilst folding maybe the neatest and most organised packing method, some argued that it wasn’t the most space savvy; 29% of those asked favoured to roll their clothes up before packing to make the most of suitcase space and the help avoid the dreaded creases once arriving at their destination.

Other methods were suggested, including packing all items in to vacuum bags to save space and unnecessary ironing. A small percentage of those who took the survey (6.9%) even decided that packing was not a priority and it was much easier to ‘Throw it all in and hope for the best’!

If you are travelling abroad or around the UK this year, don’t forget you can get web exclusive deals on selected suitcases and luggage items, including family sets over at www.sportsdirect.com. You can also join the conversation and let us know how you pack your suitcase on the official Facebook and Twitter pages.
