can anyone help me I'm looking for the Nike Huarache World series edition size 10.5-11 all white does anyone have for sale?
 
Just a quick couple of pickups.
Don't mind the Football stuff but here is a prime example of what Nike could have done for the All Star Game here in NY in regards to the sneakers.

My new trainers, I like them but they run to me a half size to small. Unless you want that shoe wrapped around your foot like a wedgie I would go a half size up.
But look at the color scheme. Nike what you could have done was incorporate the same silver but with the light blue Met color way and not an all apple red scheme.

Next up is what I like MLB to start doing when the WS takes place in late October. Take this undershirt meant for the NFL and now use it for the two teams who are playing in the fall classic. I love the cloth material and not the all stretchy nylon one is use to. Very good quality and fits perfectly. They ran out of XXL but I was surprised to see XL fit me decent.

Is there a GR version of that undershirt? Looks like something that would be nice for spring baseball in the north.

Or "spring" ball in the south. Staring baseball here in Texas during February for the HS and college season, it can still be miserably cold till late march lol

I was a Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Washington Nationals and in Syracuse (our AAA affiliate) Harper used to wear something very similar to this hooded Nike undershirt (except it was Under Armour...obviously).

You are right, the northeast is going to frigid cold probably until April lol but they really need to start producing an undershirt for winter workouts(hoodie of course). spring L/S workout shirt, summer S/S, shirt and finally in October a fall L/S undershirt.

Nike are you listening?

Bryce is smart and always credit to UA for producing great items. Someone gave me a UA body suit for recovery years ago and I was like wth is this? years later I am bro this will come in handy now during the winter polar day after tomorrow weather the northeast has been having.
Funny thing is Nike is about to launch the same concept of recovery starting with the workout pants and probably will move up with undershirts etc.

I had a funny feeling that would be the case. I think UA tried that years ago and nothing seemed to move the crowd and so that technology was dropped. I managed to get one so I was pleased with it. I also remember Nike having something similar to what UA had. It was many years ago and although it is not used for recovery it was still cool to look at. Below are the pics of a jumpsuit made for Jr. but I do not think he ever wore it ever.

Nike has been late to the game on a few things recently that athletes actually care about (ie. minimalist shoes). Recovery is another one. I hope they do big things and not just act like a spandex/lycra shirt works for recovery just because it's tight. I know pro-baseball athletes look for any way to recover they can; it's a crazy grind. In AAA we play like 154 games in 162 days. That's a much more compressed schedule than MLB plays.

I am sure basketball and hockey (not that Nike is super into hockey) would benefit greatly from Nike going down this road as well. They have long seasons/lots of games and the game can be/is more physical than baseball. Ice baths/contrast baths are great but some solid compression gear, specifically for travel days (big guys on busses and planes don't workout too well) would be awesome.

I know a handful of our former MLB guys or big prospects have personal stim/EMS units to help recover, specifically pitchers. 

I am too devoted to Nike to not be on their payroll but I seriously hope they do big things with stuff like this. Fashion is great (I mean I love my Roshes) but making stuff for athletes always needs to be in the forefront for them or they will let UA or someone else catch them.
 
Got a close look at wil myers' glove, pretty nice, good quality, really stiff.

 
Is Myers' still Spalding? Someone had to come after him, right? Nike, Rawlings, Mizuno, Wilson, or Akadema?

My personal glove is Chris Marrero's (never used, shag glove). It's a TPX but the leather is unreal. I only played Rawlings HOH through college and thought those were dreamy. The big boys have some buttery pieces...It took me 2 months to break it in (it was cold in the NE) and I threw with it daily. I either threw long toss or caught flat grounds with it but it still took a while to get it with a good pocket because the leather came so stiff.
