Completed the racket with matching outfit in red and yellow attire and a pair red shoes... Best if the player has a red afro. It will be fantastic!
Adidas Badminton has launched in New Zealand. We are one of the first countries to get the gear. Excellent racquets to play with. Footwear is pretty good too.
I have launched the review of the Adidas Switch Pro: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...874-REVIEW-Adidas-Switch-Pro-badminton-racket
with this, i only have reviews left for: - Adipower Force - G-SERIES shuttlecock - BT Feathers shoes - Hybrid / 69 / Adipower Pro strings I have gotten requests for the following items: - Precision Pro - Adipower Tour please let me know if there is anything else you are interested in so I can request a sample from Adidas.
any idea of a uk release date for any adidas stuff? It seems to be dragging on now and im finding my attention is slipping!
FB quote: "adidas Badminton - Saturday Busy week for adidas Badminton - Launch in Paris , Demo Days in Denmark and USA. Photos of the events coming soon..." Related article: Adidas lance sa ligne dédiée au badminton Le 15 mai prochain Adidas lancera sa première ligne entièrement dédiée au badminton. Si jusqu’à présent le groupe allemand équipait les badistes avec une gamme de textile et de chaussures indoor, la griffe n'avait cependant jamais conçu de ligne adaptée à cette discipline sportive." http://fr.fashionmag.com/news/Adidas-lance-sa-ligne-dediee-au-badminton,321274.html#.UWvTln6J3nk Not for a few months I believe, mid-summer perhaps. Not in this current season: "“@dbendle: @adidasBaddersUK any news on a UK launch date?” Will be summer 2013, date to be released at the end of the season." https://twitter.com/adidasBaddersUK
And their website with (understandibly) less than complete range (only one pro model in fact): http://adidasbadminton.co.nz/home.html
Climb to page 54 But VERY VERY VERY slow... ordered 2 middle of last week and.... they said they are sending them to me tomorrow...
it's available in some shops in Japan and NZ, I guess well, waited for a week already, no harm wait for 3-4 more days... really, shopping experience was disappointed...
it was launched in Japan, Korea, NZ, France, Denmark. more will come gradually. i think launch in HK will be in the next couple of weeks, and shipment is on its way to the US.
- Viktor Axelson - all in for my new sound - this is pretty awesome stuff - some out of the box marketing from Adidas. [video=youtube;__-dFFloOuk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__-dFFloOuk[/video]
"Launched" , only introduced afaik. May 15 is the release date in the stores I believe: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-*New!-Adidas-Badminton?p=2070780#post2070780 "La gamme adidas badminton sera disponible à partir du 15 mai 2013 dans les principales grandes surfaces de sport et dans les magasins spécialisés." http://sportbuzzbusiness.fr/plus-de-sports/adidas-lance-sa-gamme-badminton-27697 Denmark only had it's demo days so far, nothing in the stores yet as far as I can tell ... (the only sign of it's existence seems only news related to Viktor Axelsen's sponsorship ...) The interesting part I guess, it seems most of the distribution takes place through the current local Adidas Martial Arts distributor (valid for USA, Germany, France ...)
According to: http://adidasbadminton.co.nz/Blog/?p=4#more-4 Nothing yet on their websites but maybe contact them anyway ... http://www.auckbad.co.nz/information.php?info_id=78 http://bnhproshop.p4o.net/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=46
interesting that different market has different approach. the NZ site shows that they are stocking mainly the mid to low range rackets. they only have the adizero pro and precision 88 from the pro range. and it confirms that G-PRO, G-SERIES and D-TRAINING are the main shuttles that they will be focusing on, as they are also the ones i was given to review.
