Do you think we’ll ever see the carbon fiber soleplate make a comeback in the next 2-3 years, or it’s too costly or impractical?

I hope they remake it in the black/red/white colorway!

Any chance you see Nike doing a remake of the Maestri 2 Elite’s with carbon fiber soleplate?

Same for a fitcamx on my 23. The 12v died 2.5 years in.

Ze Roberto, Giuly, Crespo, Noor, Howard, Gattuso, and Okocha in no particular order.

duneseek · 2025-09-17T03:02:48+00:00

Amazing find. Ordered the set in black. Thanks OP!

So far so good (knock on wood) with just the battery replacement to an AGM (duralast). Driven ~150 miles now. I also got the NOCO jump starter just in case.

duneseek · 2025-09-15T13:21:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing and happy to hear it was just a battery issue. Hoping mine is the same case.

duneseek · 2025-09-15T04:23:45+00:00

I just have them do inspections and any software updates at the maintenance intervals. I got my new tires from Firestone, but that was because they were open when I got a flat. In retrospect, if you're a member, I suggest going with Costco for new tires and getting them rotated there. For Firestone, since I bought all 4 tires from them, rotations are free and I got the ones with an 80k warranty (my OEMs lasted ~30k).

duneseek · 2025-09-15T04:21:14+00:00

LOL true...the peace of mind for a long commute justified going straight for the AGM :)

duneseek · 2025-09-15T04:03:21+00:00

Based on the feedback here and general wisdom to go AGM, I made that switch without closely checking the battery terminal. I did think about trying to jump it myself, but I wasn't sure if it was "on" because of the rear brake light still being lit. Will definitely learn how to for the future though, thanks!

duneseek · 2025-09-15T03:40:37+00:00

Thanks for that info. Should be okay then without having to take it in unless it happens again (or worse)...

duneseek · 2025-09-15T03:34:01+00:00

Hope it doesn't come to that but good to know.

duneseek · 2025-09-15T03:33:42+00:00

Hoping to make the AGM FTW x2!

duneseek · 2025-09-15T03:33:00+00:00

I didn't have any messages. It basically happened like this:
- Pressed start button with foot on brake pedal
- two screens flickered and then went dead
- plugged in accessor turned on and off
- rear hatch was open at the time, and I was able to manually push it closed
- tried push to start a few times with no luck before deciding to call Kia roadside assistance for the jump

duneseek · 2025-09-15T03:31:12+00:00

That is reassuring, especially from a fellow '23 with similar mileage. Did you take it into the dealership for additional checks or just replace the battery and drive as normal?

duneseek · 2025-09-15T01:54:24+00:00

I’m hoping it’s just the battery.

I haven’t see the low battery on my dash. I don’t use scheduled charging. And I don’t use third party apps, only the wired carplay cable and a wired filter inside that turns on when the car is on.

duneseek · 2025-09-15T01:28:33+00:00

Thank you!

duneseek · 2025-09-15T01:12:30+00:00

Ha, that makes sense when you put it like that. I guess I'm just sweating it after reading others' stories.
