Saw on Twitter today that AllRounder in Leeds will be stocking New Balance stuff soon. Would be good to have a look and see what the bats and actually like.

Pretty uninspiring, a shame as I really like Dale Steyns spikes.

Paul said they were coming to see him soon. We've heard no word from them. Would be happy to host them and see the gear, but I can't really see it selling that well, shoes aside.

It's all SS stuff isn't it?

[scottish_slogger95]

Uh oh those softs looks rank! Don't like any of them. The NB stickers are quite good and I'm also loving the bags though!

actually I like the front sticker but the one's on the back are horrible

[Nickauger]

the stickers are awful!!

[Burdy]

Not a fan. Keeping gear looks horrid and very dated. Gloves too. Bats stickers look ok, dont know if its the colour but reminds me oh honda hero stickers

[ProCricketer1982]

reminds me of Slazenger which isn't a good thing as I associate them with cheap crap.

[procricket]

Wy don't they sell the kit trott actually wears that not too bad but if there selling what the picture shows it looks cheap and tacky

[scottish_slogger95]

316 quid for the top of the range bat too, seriously overpriced

[hell4leather cricket]

Not a lot of effort has gone in to their range , don't really see them selling loads either

[procricket]

316 quid for the top of the range bat too, seriously overpriced

But what if it made by the best batmakers in either the uk or nz like another brand


Then it is a bargain right

[johnnyw]

I wonder who makes their gear. It doesnt look like SS

That catalogue is from the South African range. I'm not sure they would change the stuff for the UK market, but you never know, the UK stuff could be much better.

I was really excited when I heard they were getting into cricket footwear, as my favourite ever pair of running shoes were NB. I love Dale Steyns deep green bowling shoes, but I really despise this red and white theme.

[ProCricketer1982]

Again, I'm surprised as a new brand that they don't ensure that their kit is as good a quality (which it maybe) but cheaper than it's competition. Yes your margins take a hit for a few years BUT you try and get volume sales and get it so that all the kids use the kit and all the 'average' cricketers (by average I mean non geeks like us ). Then after a few years you can slowly adjust your price once you have a good market share etc. People will then know your name (again, mr average) which means continued sales.
