Adidas Tennis Shoes

Advantages: Good styling, comfort and control
Disadvantages: Not very durable

...that Adidas would have taken that fact into consideration and strengthened the toe area of the shoe. The tread in the underside of the shoe has worn down an awful lot. This makes playing on astroturf a bit more difficult. A lot of the grip is lost and you can easily lose your footing. This can be very dangerous and you can pick up a serious injury if you fall awkwardly. ---Style--- The styling of the shoes is actually very good. They have managed to incorporate the special technological aspects into the shoe, without ruining the look. Adidas have managed to create a good balance and contrast between the sole area and the rest of the shoe. The 'air holes' on the top aren't too fancy and blatant but they do their job well of keeping the feet cool. This particular tennis shoe, comes in three different colour schemes. The new set...

Review of Adidas a3

This is not Adidas' finest hour

Advantages: Low price, colourful liquid, and one bottle will last months to years
Disadvantages: Poor scent power, difficult to find product, and very standard appearance

...in 2003 and it wasn't until late 2008 that it started to drop down to its last few drops. I was even using it regularly too; it was a favourite of mine at the time until Joop came along. Power and Effect At first, the effect will be strong on the skin. Giving off the impression that people around you will pick up on it and pass on compliments. However, after around an hour, the scent will soon start to wear off. The user will then need to spray on more or even use another form of aftershave if they wish to continue smelling great. The original model would easily last me half the day. I'm clueless at to what they have done to decrease the staying power Packaging and Advertising Adidas Sport Field has slightly different looking bottles and boxes from each other, even though its the same product in general. Some in just...

Review of Adidas Sport Field Eau De Toilette Spray

Good all purpose shoe, also suitable for cricket

Advantages: Comfortable, well made, reasonable price
Disadvantages: not a lot of toe protection

...I have starting playing indoor cricket, and have been playing on polished wooden surfaces, where grip has been important, especially when bowling. I found the Adidas Uproar to be very comfortable, although not specifically designed for cricket, although taking one on the foot from an indoor ball still hurts. For bowling I found grip very good, essential if you want to avoid turning your ankle over when bowling, even though these are a low cut trainer. The bottom of the shoe has a non-marking indoor sole, and good traction. A cross trainer cut would be a plus, although these shoes were good value and being well made will undoubtedly last for a long time....

Scone Shoes

Advantages: comfortable, better fitting shoes at reasonable prices
Disadvantages: limited range, most of them are quite ugly

...manufacturers: names include Hush Puppies, Brevitt, Comfitts, Equity, Adidas, Kickers, Ecco and Clarks. Admittedly, most of them are still ugly, there?s no point in lying to you. But there ARE stilettos. There ARE knee-length leather boots. There ARE strappy sandals, and some of them are even pretty. My shoe-fiend friends would probably curl their noses up at all of them, but then again they all have nice small slim feet that they can squeeze into pretty shoes: I have hobbit feet that hurt in everything, and am just glad to have found some shoes, any shoes, that aren?t totally hideous and that are comfortable. I ordered some red trainers, at £29.99 and some black leather ankle boots ? with heels! - at £49.99 and both are almost passable as ?normal? looking. They?re also extremely comfortable. You might not think that a simple quarter...

Get A Grip!

Advantages: Comfortable, waterproof, stylish, good grip.
Disadvantages: Make sure you break them in properly before you hit the golf course!

...I wasn't over enamoured! The runner-up spot in a team competition last summer at my golf club won me a new pair of golf shoes. Problem was, they weren't the Footjoy brand that I normally wear and which have served me well down through the years, but a pair of white Adidas shoes with black stripes which for all the world looked like a pair of my teenage daughter's trainers. I was even less enamoured when I discovered that they hadn't been purchased in the club professional's shop, which meant I couldn't exchange them for something else. Not that they were a bad looking pair of shoes mind you. Called the "Adidas Tour Traxion" they are a slightly less expensive version of Adidas's best selling golf shoe, the "Tour 360", which is worn by many of the top tour professionals. Anyways, as my old pair of Footjoy Dryjoys were becoming...

  Wii Resort For Island Sports

Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory
Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games

...INTRODUCTION Our Nintendo Wii has been hibernating under our TV, gathering dust since shortly after Christmas. The Wii party games made a brief appearance for the holidays and the shine of Wii Fit wore off after our New Year?s resolutions met with their usual success and longevity (i.e. none). It?s a fab console, but it?s very ease of ?pick up and play? makes it just as easy to ignore in favour of other pursuits. However, we were intrigued by the promise and novelty of the new Wii MotionPlus gadget, and when Wii Sports Resort (WSR) ? essentially Wii Sports 2 ? was announced, it was immediately added to our Wish List. As such, I was delighted when I received it for my birthday last week, and It has played a part in our nightly entertainment since. WHAT?S IN THE BOX WSR comes packaged with the game (in its own DVD...

Dancing shoes on

Advantages: well thought out characters and a nice story
Disadvantages: likely to make you cry

...I first read Ballet Shoes when I was eight. It was the first of Noel Streatfield's books I'd read, and it remains my favourite. I put it away during my teenage years and forgot about it until Christmas 2007 when I watched the BBC adaptation with Emma Watson. I went to Indonesia and got the film on knock-off DVD, and immediately after watching I rang home to get my parents to order me a copy. It was a great welcome home. The book opens with 'Garnie' moving into a huge mansion, filled with fossils. She and her nurse (Nana) are moving in with her uncle. You don't really get any of their story until one day her uncle Matthew arrives home from a trip with a package, containing of all things... a baby! They agree to take the baby and name her Pauline. Once Pauline is a bit older, and Great Uncle Matthew (GUM) is away again, another package...

Adidas Predators Fake or Fact?

Advantages: The opposition will think your good
Disadvantages: you'll get kicked up in the air because your not that good!

...I owned the very first pair of Predator boots that were brought out some 15 years ago when Craig Johnstone (The former Liverpool Midfield meastro) first developed them. Since my first pair, I never bought another pair unti this season and I'm gonna be completely honest and say they are a total rip-off. In essence, I think we all want to know if they help you "swerve" and "control" the ball more? My thoughts: (PS just so you aware, my background is in sports science and in particular bio-mechanics and statistics, therefore I'm making my judgements on a) how they were to play in (Subjective opinion) b) what I've read about them. (Objective analysis) Playing: The first pair of predators were extremely clumsy in there design, with what can only be described as huge "Finns" of rubber on the front of the boot. They were...

Island of Sporting Desire

Advantages: Three or four really great sporting games
Disadvantages: The need to 'calibrate' Wii Remote

...Let the games Begin... As a game which came free with the Wii console, 'Wii Sports' had little to prove - a title designed to show off the ingenious controls of the new machine, which at times meant that it felt like a bit of a glorified tech-demo. The sequel 'Wii Sports Resort' is tied in with the release of MotionPlus - the little white box that plugs into the bottom of the Wii controller, offering much more accuracy and finesse of controls - but does the game make the most of the new technology, or is it a missed opportunity? Set on the tropical island of 'Wuhu', Sports Resort allows you to compete in twelve different sporting disciplines, each one designed to push your skill and co-ordination to the max. In this review, I'll take a look at each of the sports, whilst briefly explaining and summarising my feelings towards them...
