***MLB Feet and Equipment 2014***NEW THREAD

Thinking about being the sacrificial lamb for the forum by ordering from that Japanese site. The prices are too good to be true but if it's fake it won't hurt the pocket too much. I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes.

Please keep us in the loop!

Pretty sure there were some buyers a few years ago. Baseman and Ratuken are both legit retailers in Japan. in fact I think Ratuken bought Buy.com

Prices are good until you add shipping then it becomes quite an investment. I've never ordered from Rakuten, but I've heard from a Japanese guy on my team that they are legit. I think it's kind of like the eastbay of Japan.

Global Rakuten is a wholesaler web-site. Most of the items on the site are legit, but I have had friends who ordered shoes that were definitely fake. Hope that helps.

Former teammate of mine in the middle Daniel Norris rocking some volt before the future's game. Dude is normally very low key and doesn't wear flashy stuff. He'll definitely make it to the bigs in a few years if he keeps up what he's been doing. Wonder if by then he'll rock some real heat.
 
Back when they released they had the neoprene wrist strap as well, I went through like 3 pairs. Lol. I was watching those on eBay as well size large right?
 
A couple of things that came in.

First, my love of undershirts has no bounds but I couldn't pass this up for a couple of dollars. I love this line of shirts, since this was truly a compression shirt.
I recently missed out on the same color way of the sleeveless version of this shirt which ticked me off since I was outbid by one dollar.

Next up Spectrum TR1 All Star = Disappointed

First - the color way makes it look like a Colorado Rockies colorway. I didn't see any blue anywhere. It was just plain old purple. Where is the spectrum? The photo they used on Nike.com really was deceiving. I tried in all angles and with sun and without, with flash and without and nothing. Same old purple. At least make it like the All Star Trouts colorway, at least we know all those crazy colors are in the shoe. Oh btw these shoes run really narrow, so if you have wide feet like Fred Flinstone, I suggest your go a size up or look for another trainer.

Sole = Goodness. Thank you for some stability and not the full air bubble. I managed to do squats and not worry if my shoes will pop. Btw the Swoosh was the only thing Navy Blue.

The TR1s are fresh, but I don't like how you said it looks purple. Was hoping for closer to royal so I could wear them with my team gear. Don't have enough to match with purple to want to get them.
 
I got these gloves off the bay but I was wondering if they're pro issue because the bag they came in and the neoprene wrist strap ? Or nahh?
Definitely team bank. If not "Pro" they are from college or what have you. Not GR.

I agree with this. I purchased 3 pairs of Torii Hunters from his time with the Angels, and got a pair of DEs from Cal State Fullerton and they all came in that kind of bag.
