Those are the mids rather than just the normal vectors, but either way they look pretty nice
Definitely a gap in the market for all white spikes me thinks

I didn't think the County Championship was like the All England Lawn Tennis club where you had to wear just white while playing???

There's an ECB reg where a certain % of the visible boot has to be white.

I remember them talking about this on TMS last summer. International regs are different from ECB if I remember correctly

But plenty of county cricketers are wearing the normal ones?
I don't think the Currans' footwear is anything to do with regulations.

Think Adidas are taking a punt on the Curran brothers. They did a couple of photoshoots over the winter which haven't the media yet. Could be a good investment.

Right then, any one had a run out in their boosts yet? I'm medium pacer- very medium. But want them for batting and time in the field.

I've not picked up a bat yet! Shop and nets tomorrow to whet my appetite for the season!!!

Superb for batting, fielding and slow bowling. Not suitable for anything faster than a 4 pace trundle. V V V V V Comfortable

Have you tried bowling faster in them or just from what you've read?

Not me personally but a few academt players say their front foot slips when trying to bowl quick. It's a but strange because for batting and fielding the grip is better than studs

Aren't they advertised as a batting/fielding shoe anyway? There's nowhere near enough support on the ankles for fast bowlers

Took the plunge and bought them.
I'm not a fast bowler, very medium and swing it. Bowled my usual pace in them this evening and had no issues.
Very little clogging even on long freshly cut grass.
Looking forward to using them tomorrow on an uncovered deck in the heart of Dorset

Guy we played against yesterday had these on. Track was pretty dry and he must have slipped about 5 times trying to take off for a single.

In comparison, I played on a wicket that looked like it had been shelled due to being so damp that the ball tore it up and an outfield that squelched as you walked and they held up great.
