Nike cricket shoes I've found really aren't all that. Not worth the money they retail at.

I would get the second pair - they look just like a pair of old basketball shoes i used to have and they gave brilliant support for my feet, but like Tom says, never worth the money they are selling at.

Yes, but I can get them very cheap.

Walshy, I know the wholesale prices of the Nike spikes as well as distributors and retail prices. They're not cheap. There's other cheaper options available such as spiking of trainers which I think is better.

What's the wholesale price then Tom, if you don't mind me asking?

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: Tom on July 06, 2009, 11:23:13 AM

I don't have the pricelist to hand and it varies due to fluctuating exchange rates. It's around £37 for Nike Century's. £50 for Nike Opener's. Add to that £12 for shipping and they're not cheap, especially when spiked trainers can be done for £20 or Asic's can be picked up in the sales for £25.

Post by: WALSHY on July 06, 2009, 11:25:29 AM

Yes, but I need interchangeable spikes.

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: Coach on July 12, 2009, 12:08:32 PM

you can interchange spikes in spiked trainers?

No sorry mate but that's what the pro's use to spike their shoes.

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: Tom on July 12, 2009, 01:22:28 PM

Brian and Brenda as already suggested.

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: WALSHY on July 12, 2009, 01:25:58 PM

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: Tom on July 12, 2009, 01:33:08 PM

If you mean do they spike trainers then yes.

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: WALSHY on July 12, 2009, 01:37:12 PM

Cool, do they also have shoe packages like FBU.

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: Coach on July 12, 2009, 09:32:36 PM

Post by: WALSHY on July 14, 2009, 03:58:10 AM

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: WALSHY on July 14, 2009, 03:59:41 AM

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: Apple on July 25, 2009, 09:26:12 PM

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: WALSHY on July 26, 2009, 02:24:13 AM

Yea.

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: silent_Jhenz on October 05, 2009, 05:15:21 AM

 I know the broad prices of the Nike spikes as able-bodied as distributors and retail prices. They're not cheap. There's added cheaper options accessible such as spiking of trainers which I anticipate is better.

these the new ones leo ?

Title: Re: Nike Shoes.
Post by: Howzat on October 06, 2009, 04:50:16 PM

Yep....
Nike Yorker and Opener
The design brief was to make a shoe that reduced injury for the most injury prone cricketer – the fast bowler.

While from the outside they look simple, with a smooth shiny finish, the laser etched perforations give an insight into the technology and effort that has gone into making the best cricket shoe available today.

There are several features built into the design that help reduce the foot sliding on delivery and therefore damaging the big toe and it’s nail. The foot sits inside a booty that provides a soft cushion surround and reduces the pressure on the toe against the end of the shoe.

Straps run over the foot between the bootie and the upper, to pull the foot down onto an anatomically sculpted footbed that fits snugly under the arch. They combine to reduce the foot sliding forward and hopefully reduce bruising and the need for cutting a hole in the toe.

The midsole includes two zoom air units that provide responsive cushioning and explosive power to every step.

The outer sole was specifically designed to maximize traction and reduce spike pressure, meaning more grip for longer periods, in total comfort. Using running shoe technology and materials like blown rubber, the shoes remain super-lightweight while still providing the grip expected from a full spike shoe.

While the shoes origins were as a bowling shoe, it still surpasses all the needs of an opening batsman, being lightweight, well cushioned, and supportive. Hence, so many international players choosing to wear it while Keeping, Batting or Fielding.

Nike Century, Pace
These shoes have a more traditional structure but attempt to use the same techniques to reduce the foot sliding forward when bowling. The booty is discarded for a more traditional tongue and the straps holding the foot down are visible and work with the lacing to reduce sliding and provide support.

The blown rubber sole is replaced by carbon rubber for added durability and stability.

A heel Zoom air unit provides cushioning and reduces spike pressure through the midsole.

The Pebax spike plate through the midsole in all midsoles not only provides a light weight mount for the spikes but also provides midfoot stability and reduces torque thereby reducing excessive pronation.

Note - there are an awful lot of international players who wear the Century.

Googly
The Googly is a pretty typical rubber soled shoe with a few Nike upgrades. It has an air sole to provide cushioning as well as the midsole insert which provides midfoot stability and reduces torque thereby reducing excessive pronation.

Users of this range include - Zaheer Khan, Jonathan Trott, Danesh Karthik, Shane Bond, Daniel Vettori, Jessie Ryder, Martin Guptill, Kumar Sangakkara, Sanath Jayasuriya plus a large number of the Sri Lankans and Pakistanis, Peter McGlashan, Wayne Parnell, Grant Elliott, James Franklin etc etc
