Batting spikes. It's a hangover from my football days, I was an absolute boot badger, luckily sponsorships didn't see me having to pay for any boots or my goalie gloves, but at one point I remember having 11 pairs of boots and 12 pairs of gloves on the go at once. All in outrageous colours. I used to wear new pairs around the house til they felt like a second skin, same with the goalie gloves.
I still get that same feeling when I open up a box of batting spikes, walking round the shop in my Nike lunar dominates whilst wearing a new set of wicket keeping gloves to get them feeling just right would have been quite a sight for any customer who walked in!
Can't beat the feeling of a new bit of willow in the hands, but I pick up so many new bats every day, I guess that feeling is somewhat diluted for me.
