Not seen it mentioned anywhere on here but a new colourway of the adidas spikes have been appearing on my instagram from a few Indian retailers, looks the same as the current ones but with a red sole and blue stripes. I've noticed a couple of Indian players where them recently too, here's a couple of pics https://www.instagram.com/p/C1BssLtJdw2/, (https://www.instagram.com/p/C1BssLtJdw2/,) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0wZApQpA6L/, (https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0wZApQpA6L/,) https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18087087196394568/ (https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18087087196394568/)
Anyone know if these are coming to the UK/anywhere other than India? I know there was a lot of chat about adidas stopping making spikes, will be disappointing if we end up with another nike/asics situation where they're not available through standard means in the UK but all the pros are still wearing them. Nike in particular seem ridiculous these days, more pros than ever seem to be wearing that same orange and blue pair that's been about for a while but its pretty much impossible to get a hold of them even from importers or resellers.

A couple shots of them being worn in the recent India v England woman's test

It’s like a hybrid from the orange soles from a few years ago with the blue stripes from a few years before that!

One thing I forgot to add is that I had a look on the adidas India site for these when I first spotted them and they've not got them, at the time they still had the current yellow ones but looking now they've gone too. There are a number of other Indian exclusive cricket shoes they do have, they are all rubber soles though and (in my opinion at least) pretty ugly looking. There's also the rather hilarious 'India Limited Edition Shoe' that is a standard white adidas train with 3 blue stripes, the first 2 have 1983 and 2011 written on them in gold and they come with an insert to add 2023 to the 3rd one. All of these can be found here https://www.adidas.co.in/cricket-shoes (https://www.adidas.co.in/cricket-shoes)
