Our take
I picked up these Adidas JBC cleats from 1998, and they feel like stepping back in time. The leather upper is thick and durable, offering good protection. The foam insole cushions well, but the break-in period was noticeable. Size 13.5 is generous—roomy for wide feet. The plastic cleats are fixed and don't provide the same traction as modern studs. They work fine on soft ground but feel heavy compared to today's boots. At $110.00, it's a fair price for a vintage piece with comfort in mind.
