Nike LunarAccelerate Bowling Boots

Leave a comment

New to 2014, Nike has come out with the Nike LunarAccelerate Bowling Boots. They’re not the cheapest bowling boots on the market, but they’re well worth the money, because you know you’re getting top quality, reliable, and durable cricket equipment with Nike.

Head over to your cricket store for these new bowling boots along with other premium cricket equipment from these top brands: Gunn and Moore, Gray Nicolls, Slazenger Cricket, Kookaburra, and Adidas Cricket.

Nike LunarAccelerate Bowling Boots

The Nike LunarAccelerate bowling boots can be worn for batting and fielding, but were really designed with the bowler in mind. With a higher cut and an ankle strap, these bowling boots offer maximum ankle protection for those hard landings. The strap on the Nike LunarAccelerate boots really locks down the ankle so it can hardly move in the shoe.

Again with the bowler in mind, Nike has included a reinforced toe box on its LunarAccelerate bowling boots. This reduces wear and tear on the shoe while protecting the bowler’s foot. Almost contrastingly, the Nike LunarAccelerate bowling boots are fitted with flex grooves at the forefoot to allow for the flexibility a bowler needs.

Aesthetically, the Nike LunarAccelerate bowling boots look nicer than Nike cricket shoes from years past. Nike has ditched the orange cricket shoes and elected to go for a more subtle white shoe with red and blue accents for its 2014 shoes.

The Nike LunarAccelerate bowling boots are made with lots of mesh and airflow systems to keep your feet nice and cool while you’re playing, allowing for a very comfortable shoe. Nike has also included foam cushioning under the heel for maximum comfort as well as shock absorption to protect your joints when landing.

While the Nike LunarAccelerate bowling boots are not the most lightweight cricket shoes, they are still in the lightweight range, even with the higher cut and ankle strap.

New to 2014, New Balance is expanding its brand in terms of cricket equipment with its New Balance CK4040AR Cricket Shoes. While New Balance’s other cricket equipment has been great quality, it’s known for its shoes, and is really making sure to impress with these CK4040 AR shoes.

New Balance CK4040AR Cricket Shoes

One great thing about the New Balance CK4040AR Cricket Shoes are their versatility. While they were designed with bowling boots in mind, and are worn by top bowler Dale Steyn, they really can be used for batting and fielding as well. This is partially due to the extra support offered in the shoe.

New Balance has taken protection and support very seriously in its design for the CK4040AR cricket shoe. It’s fitted with a Velcro support strap, as well as a T-Beam, which helps to keep your knees and ankles stable when landing, thus preventing both short-term and long-term injuries.

On its CK4040AR cricket shoes, New Balance has included a full leather upper. Not only does this look nice on the shoe, it helps make the shoes last a long time. The full leather upper on New Balance’s CK4040AR cricket shoes allow the shoes to be durable and really endure the elements if you’re playing outdoors in the rain or mud. This will help save you money in the long run because you won’t be running out for a new pair of shoes every season.

The versatility of New Balance’s CK4040AR cricket shoes doesn’t stop with how they can be played. New Balance has allowed these shoes to be suitable for both indoor and outdoor play with unique rubber soles and removable spikes.

Head over to your cricket store to check these new shoes out along with other premium cricket equipment from these top brands: Gunn and Moore, Gray Nicolls, Slazenger Cricket, Kookaburra, and Adidas Cricket.

In terms of shape, the Hell4Leather NV Grade 1 cricket bat has a high middle and extra thick edges. These, along with minimal concaving, allow the NV Grade 1 bat to have a nice elongated sweet spot.

In spite of the thicker shape of the Hell4Leather NV Grade 1 cricket bat, it’s still a very well-balanced and light bat with excellent pickup. Available in weights around 2:10, the NV Grade 1 bat picks up much lighter than its weight.

Hell4Leather has given its NV Grade 1 cricket bat a flatter face and a bowed blade. These both help with the elongated sweet spot as well as the supreme balance of the NV Grade 1 cricket bat, making it great for the all around stroke player.

Adidas adiPower Vector Bowling Boots

Leave a comment

Brand new to 2014, Adidas Cricket has released its Adidas adiPower Vector Bowling Boots. After years of research and consultations with England fast bowler James Anderson, Adidas Cricket has come up with a truly remarkable shoe.

Make sure you stop by your cricket store to pick up these boots, along with other premium cricket equipment from these top brands: Gunn and Moore, Gray Nicolls, Slazenger Cricket, and Kookaburra.

AD14CSAPVzm 300x300 Adidas adiPower Vector Bowling Boots

Adidas adiPower Vector Bowling Boots

Adidas Cricket’s main aim in designing its adiPower Vector bowling boots was to prevent the main injuries associated with fast bowling. This is done in two major ways: the grid system on the sole of the boot and the single spike on the heel. Adidas Cricket’s new grid system on the sole makes the boot much lighter and more stable.

The single spike on the bottom of the Adidas Cricket adiPower Vector bowling boots is specifically in place for injury prevention, both long-term and short-term. Adidas Cricket and James Anderson found that many injuries to the knee and ankle come from turning in when landing. Adidas Cricket’s single spike on the bottom of the adiPower Vector boot helps stabilize the knee and ankle when landing, which lowers the chance of injury.

The Adidas Cricket adiPower Vector bowling boots are made with a TPU outsole to keep them lightweight, as well as an EVA midsole with Adiprene in the heel to keep them comfortable. Adidas Cricket’s adiPower Vector bowling boots are made with both a strong heel and a strong toe for added support in both areas.

While these Adidas Cricket adiPower Vector bowling boots were designed with bowling in mind and are currently being used by England fast bowler Jimmy Anderson, they’re versatile and lightweight enough to wear for batting and fielding as well.

Head over to your cricket store for these boots as well as other great cricket equipment from these brands: Gunn and Moore, Gray Nicolls, Slazenger Cricket, and Kookaburra.

Kookaburra Bubble Cricket Bat

Leave a comment

In keeping with the new trend of bringing back retro bats, Kookaburra has re-released its Kookaburra Bubble Cricket Bat, and it’s very similar to the popular original.

Kookaburra has released the Kookaburra Bubble Cricket Bat in several grades, and the Star is the second grade. While it doesn’t have an incredibly high number of grains, it’s still got very few blemishes, and it’s a very good price point. The Bubble Star cricket bat is made in India, along with all of Kookaburra’s bats.

BK150 Kookaburra Bubble Cricket Bat

Kookaburra Bubble Cricket Bat

I don’t usually start with the decals of a bat, but Kookaburra has really kept the Bubble Star’s decals true to the original. They’re white, red, and blue, and really stand out as retro, although they do take up a lot of space on the Kookaburra Bubble Cricket Bat.

The Kookaburra Bubble Cricket Bat has an interesting profile shape for Kookaburra, which tends to keep a fairly similar shape across its bats. Kookaburra’s Bubble Star bat has absolutely no concaving in the playing area and only a very small amount a little higher on the bat. While the spine on the Kookaburra Bubble Star doesn’t run all the way to the toe, the bat still has a nice chunky toe.

The edges on the Kookaburra Bubble Star cricket bat are very interesting because they have a very sudden taper that helps to reduce the weight. With roughly 40 mm edges and about a 62 mm spine, you’re getting a very solid bat with Kookaburra’s Bubble Star.

Kookaburra’s Bubble Star has a low middle, but still isn’t very bottom heavy, which is nice. It actually picks up a little lighter than its weight. The Bubble Star by Kookaburra also has a pretty significant pronounced bow, which also helps with its pickup.

When you’re thinking about the weight on the Kookaburra Bubble Star cricket bat, it’s important to bear in mind that the grips are actually very heavy. The handle on the Bubble Star is round, and very nice for bottom handed players.

Head over to your cricket store for this great retro bat and other premium cricket equipment from these top brands: Gray Nicolls, Hammer cricket, Slazenger Cricket, Affinity cricket, Gunn and Moore, and Adidas Cricket.
