    Yes it does make sense. I fight in mine, train in them, and go for pee breaks...etc lol

    It's good to know they require a bit of breaking in. Thanks.

    And for the difference of what...$30 for the older version, 40 or 50 for the newer, versus paying $50 for wrestling shoes really is a no brainer imo.

    I never called today...totally forgot, sorry. I think I am just ordering the ones thru title anyway tho as some other stuff I want there too, so...tnx for bringing this to my attention.

        wow, i tried making a post exactly like this a while back and didn't get a good enough response.. i did alot of research myself on the shoe because i was just as interested as you are, and i dont necessarily think that the zippered version on the nike site is the newer style. i thought that for a while, but pacquiao himself still trains in the non zippered version at times if you watch carefully in some of his recent training vids. the nike machomai shoe itself has just been released recently and i dont see how there could already be a "newer" version already.. seems to me that it's still in its first few batches of production so i doubt that. i'm also from canada and tried ordering off the nike site and was pretty pissed about that as well, but just ended up getting the style that the title site has

          Thanks. I'm lookin to get myself a birthday present...and i just wanna make sure these shoes are good... (I have never owned any pair of boxing shoes in my life)
          i also did alot of research on this as well, because i've owned the nike lo pros that title boxing has on their site, and had to upside a full size.. i'm a size nine in almost everything, but was advised to upsize last second so i went with the 9.5 (a size that i hardly ever wear). When i got them, they were still too tight.. a ten would have been perfect. With the machomai, i was told that they fit more truer to size, and fit slightly bigger than the nike lo pros which makes more sense. since i wear a nine in almost everything, i went with the 9.5 and i'm sure they'll fit well based on my research. i ordered these less than a week ago, and i can give you a personal review on the shoe when they come in which should be very soon. hope i helped you out.

            Hey, ya...I'd appreciate you letting me know also in here or PM when you get them. I just ordered a pr. through title also...as well as a bunch of other stuff. The order I was told will take 2-3 weeks as i have some custom stuff coming also, then has to go through the customs and excise procedure (whatever that is). Basically what shoe exactly you got...because I'm still not sure what I'm getting. haa. If it is what is pictured, or a slight variation.

            Where bouts in Canada are you? Ontario here.

              ^ Thanks a lot guys...gave u both some Good Karma.

              As for Manny......he's a Millionaire, i'm pretty sure he has a bunch of pairs laying around... in the video i Posted in the first page, he said in Tagalog..that these were Brand new shoes.. and that he had to get used to them ahead of time before the fight....these were infact the shoes that had the zipper. I could tell from the color ...i'm still certain that he does wear the title shoes...except his are custom made...(the white/red ones you saw him wear against Erik Morales)...

              Anyways, since I'm a gear addict (although i'm broke)...i've spent a lot of $$ on MMA gear..which I now regret... but im not going to think about that. lol. I'll probably get both in the near future.. when I get more $$$..

              Thx again..oh and post back any reviews u got here or on a new thread. peace

                Title Boxing site:

                http://store.titleboxing.com/nike-ma...shoes-mid.html



                Nike Store:

                http://store.nike.com/index.jsp?coun...32/pgid-186733

                Notice how the Title machomai shoe has a black sole....but the Nike store one has a gumsole (yellowish color)

                I also noticed that the one from the nike store has a zipper to cover the laces....while the ones from Title do not.

                I've only seen Pacquiao wear the ones shown from that nike store site.... can anyone chime in on this?
                have you purchased it? if yes then that all things are depends on that company, if you have found any fault in your shoes then you can send an quick email to the company.

                  The laces on the Machomai's are hella weak. So i took the laces from my Everlasts and laced up my Nikes.

                  Black Machomai Nikes with red laces. Hella clean.

                    post pics bro! i'd love to see that haha. mine are supposed to be in tomorrow so i'll write a full review on them for those that wanted one from me. to TheTruthIs, i'm from edmonton alberta bro. and Mishka80, if you watch the beginning of episode 2 of pacquiao/delahoya 24/7, you'll notice that manny's wearing the lace up version of the machomai. glad i was a help!

                      yeah i recently ordered them in red, havnt come yet tho, titleboxing is real slow to deliver for me, altho i hear realllll good things about the boots. and yeah i train and fight in mine too, tbh its the best way, some shoes you gotta get used to. if you have a unique boot lke the jordans, which i do, you havt got to train with them.
