Just got a little too excited as the UPS van pulled in, i almost yanked the parcel out of the drivers hand.
The suppliers who do Nike (and also Aero) in the UK said they would be sending samples of the 2014 Nike shoe when they got them in August/September.
I simply couldn't wait that long after seeing pictures. I saw the black ones that someone posted on CBF and decided to take the plunge into the world of Indian retail to get hold of a pair in a sensible colour.
Ordered on Wednesday 1st May, free delivery (with email updates on the location of my order throughout the process) and they arrived today, would have been yesterday were it not for the bank holiday. I had to pay import duty on them, but it was worth it. I'm chuffed.
Insanely comfortable (i knew they would be having owned numerous pairs of Nike Lunar Glide trainers) well made, and whilst not everyones cup of tea, i think they look cool. They also come with a set of blanks for playing on hard/artificial surfaces.






Will be wearing them tonight in a T20 match.
I won't reveal where i got them from as obviously i would prefer you to buy them from me when they launch in the UK after the Lords trade show in September. What i will say is, if you really want a pair now, and are prepared to trawl the net for a few hours, and take a few risks on the way, you will find them, just as i did.
