The ODI looks better then it did in the catalogue when I saw it a few months back...
If the price wasn't so ludicrous I'd probably invest but £180 for a pair of spikes is just crazy!

Anyone know what the Salix pads and gloves look like for next year?

People were wondering why 20% of the cricket brands' business goes through SD... I fear it's because the cricket industry is charging ridiculous prices for gear. £180 for rrp, so about £160 in shps is stupid and short sighted. If punters don't accept these gratuitous year on year rises then it's no surprise excess stock is remaindered.

Any news on TON?
TON are adding the Legacy and Bounty bats to the range.  The existing range remains however they will now have different profiles so no longer all the traditional Sareen shape.

Top end football boots now retail at £240, so £180 for a cricket shoe seems logical when the batsmen / fielder could be on his feet all day.

You can get a top top of the range running shoe for roughly 100ish notes. (http://b2b.brooksrunning.eu/gb_en_b2c/catalog/product/view/id/26623/s/ghost-7/category/4/ my shoe of choice)

How can they justify an extra 80 pounds?!

Just because a does something doesn't mean it's fine for b to do something. This just smells of retailers cashing in just because, rather than giving value for money

Wow, that $293 (USD)!!!!

I use Brooks trail runners (with rubber spikes ) which are reasonably priced and totally not meant for cricket. The shoes overall have done wonders for my ankles and knees. Cricketers are being robbed!!!!

Thank you asics.  This has given legitimacy to my thoughts about buying a top pair of trainers and getting them spiked.  That option now offers real value for money in comparison to these!

Agree with this, I'll be telling people to do the same. Rip off
