Don't really see the problem with the shoes, I think they look cool! Well, the ones The_Bird posted anyway!

The bat stickers are terrible. Not an improvement on the previous versions at all.

Do u think they worry about people copying their stickers or see eBay fakes as more exposure ?

Im still to see a genuine adidas bat. Repaired probably close to a dozen planks with ropey looking stickers on them.

Adidas is the one brand that i guarantee we will never stock. Just pure aids.

I find it a shame that there seem to be so many fake Adidas bats around.
I had a stunning Incurza Elite that went like a rocket, which I swapped (and regretted it)
But I have only really used the Incurzas and recently purchased another Elite for really decent money, and the knocking in is going beautifully!
I may be wrong, but the impression I get is that consistency may be a problem?

I have today taken a chance on a Adidas Incurze Club from Pro-Direct. On mega sale at £39.99 for an English willow bat. Just got to see if it does actually turn up or if I get the email telling me its out of stock.

Biggest problem is the sheer number of readily available fake (or genuine; leaked/nicked from factories who knows?!) stickers out there on absolute planks.

The number of bats they are 'making' means by law of averages there will be some good ones.

Their softs are an abomination as far as im concerend. No doubt well made/comfortable, but just look at them! Grim.

Maybe i'm just too much of a purist (he says while representing a brand/club that endorses skin tight pink clothing covered in pink lions....) but i just resent the whole idea of Adidas being involved in cricket.

The shoes and whites are the only things worth having imo.
