LOL...i was definitely thinking of the same exact thing.

Wow there is a lot of hate out there for these skins. I currently have some calf/shin skins and they help with my shin splints and calf cramping, before i started wearing them i would always get cramps down my side shin and calf. Since i have started stretching more and wearing the skins i rarely have those issues.

My current ones are getting a little worn and I was just wondering if anyone here knew when/if these would be released? CAN ANYONE HELP???

i agree a lot of kids out there are more interested in the style then the substance, but for some people it actually helps their game.
