*New! Adidas Badminton

[j4ckie]

Buck off, kwun!! That's just...mean. Going by the size it can't be shoes, so I'd guess.....grips? Kinda looks like a big box of grips to me. Could also be some sort of clothing, but that'd be the first time I'd see it packed in a box....

-SNIP-

This is from their facebook website. Is it just me or does the guy in the Adipower picture look like Lin Dan?

That's Lin Dan for sure. The posture, the way he holds the racket - maybe Li Ning won't notice, but maybe adidas is gonna be in trouble soon...?

[george@chongwei]

yep, was thinking the same too.. Adidas might be in the hot soup for displaying Lin dan playing with their adidas badminton in the picture..my 1st thought when i see the picture>>> what??wtf??

Adidas Formotion/Techfit football shirts aka "player versions" come in boxed packaging sometimes and was my first though here but grips is a good guess as well ...

[concretemad]

i suggest we close the forum from visitor for a day. and kwun expose everything (everything!) in tat big courier box. then delete the posts. then how about spy member from adidas inc. easy?? easy, we threaten to kill them if they report kwun

[demolidor]

The box should have gotten "lost" in transport and then magically some leaked photos appear on a chinese badminton forum and make their way here second hand . But too late for that now, so no more teasers until countdown (aka teaser campaign phase II: involve the big forum honcho with some freebies for some more free publicity )

you mean something like this?



could be the newest idea for badminton outfit from Adidas?

i know they want to popularize badminton, this would be a bit on the desperate side though...

[Renmazuo27]

This would bring the death of mixed doubles..

Especially Indonesian and Malaysian WD/XD oO"
Apart from Goh LY (and a few other, less known exeptions) they all seem to have a....healthy appetite Especially Kido's family *shudder*

associating Kido with the above outfit is just..... wrong... ouch. my head hurts now.

[kwun]

sorry to disappoint you guys though, even though the color scheme does match the above, but no, not bikini in that box. and you wouldn't want me to review bikini's anyway...

any more guesses? it is something badminton related...

[yan.v]

I'd go ahead and say either plastic shuttles, strings (but that'd be a lot of strings) or clothes...

[khoai]

For a stringer to review/test... what else?

bingo! and it takes a stringer to figure out what it is also.

[kwun]

i was sent 3 different models of string. but i haven't tested them yet.

i did string up one of the adipower rackets last night with ZM62N and play tested it all night. all i can say for now is that if you are getting a bunch of "red packets" during Chinese New Year, don't go rush out and buy that Yonex quite yet, Adidas will give Yonex and others a run for their money.

Even panda's money?
