On the german adidas speciality sports web shop for badminton, there are no new products. All the rackets are sold out. Nothing to be found. As well as no more strings and shuttlecocks. All the clothes and shoes are on sale. Will Adidas discontinue the badminton segment? I really liked the adiPower Pro strings. There is an article from "Handelsblatt" (german), which is just almost two month old (20.02.2017): http://www.handelsblatt.com/unterne...in-asien-an-im-badminton-rausch/19416730.html Adidas wants to bring out new "innovative" stuff, so that people move to adidas. I think their focus will be the asian markets only due to the most popularity. Any other suggestions of what will happen to adidas badminton?
http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?threads/new-adidas-badminton.121917/page-99 You can read some of the later posts for updates. Adidas have a program of launches for products coming up very soon. As far as I know, Europe is an important market.
Any more news related to Adidas badminton? Adidasspecialtysports.com doesn't exist anymore and on their Facebook I read multiple replies from them that they almost don't have a distributor in any country/area whatsoever. Quite annoying, as they are posting cool looking shirts and shoes, but it's close to impossible to get them.
I have ordered two of the Wucht P5 rackets that should arrive next week. I'll do my best to post a review once I have a chance to try them out
