Title: could somebody give me a hand please
Post by: theallrounder on March 27, 2014, 05:29:27 AM
Was wondering if anyone had any info about these new balance shoes? don't mind the look of them and wouldn't mind grabbing myself a pair.
Cheers

I've got the indoor version (non spiked) and they are really impressive. Would have gone for the spiked version if I hadn't already bought the nikes.

A lot of our forum sponsors stock them so give them a shout and they will sort you out

How do they compare to the Nikes? I was looking at these or the Nikes for T20 on Artificial this summer.

I've only tried the nikes on briefly at home so haven't worn them properly yet. The NB seem very strong but still retain their lightness and still have a very good level of protection. The nikes feel considerably lighter and less bulky than their orange predecessors almost like a trainer. I also think the Nikes look better but thats probably why they are a bit more expensive

Thanks. I like the trainer-like qualities.

Based on the terms in his google search, I think the OP was specifically referring to the red NB shoes, these are prototypes for next season, I saw them at the Lords trade show, very nice.

I've seen them around on some players and thought they looked awesome!
Guessing they'll be out for 2014-15 Aus season?

Those prototypes look a lot better than their current offering, in my opinion.

Just seen on SSN that Trott is also wearing these in a CC warm up game.
