$15 off at the adidas store

2000 | 08 | 24

The adidas store has a coupon for $15 off of a $45 purchase. If you haven't been there yet, thestore.adidas.com is the official online adidas store. You can buy all of adidas' current products directly from them there.

The coupon code is #OLYMBD4299 and the expiration date is unknown.

Z Spikes

2000 | 08 | 24

The August 2000 issues of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics both have articles discussing the new technology adidas has developed for the 2000 Olympics. The technology is called the Z spike. The spike is shaped like the letter 'Z' and is designed to not penetrate the running surface. This is supposed to give the runner a bit of spring in their stride.

The Popular Science article doesn't seem to be online, but the Popular Mechanics article is!
Look for lots of athletes to be sporting adidas products in this year's games in Sydney.

the SL line

2000 | 08 | 22

adidas has unveiled their newest line of shoes...the SL. The SL stands for "Sport Luxury" and according to the official adidas web site is inspired by cool cars, MP3 players, and futuristic watches. Three different models are available:
  • Men's Running
  • Men's Basketball
  • Women's Running
The shoe will be available 2000 | 08 | 25 for a recommended price of $90. I think that $90 price point is really nice to see. There are so many "cool" shoes these days that cost well over $100.

Please head over to the official adidas site for the whole story and lots of pics.

Welcome

2000 | 08 | 15

Welcome to sadida.com! This site used to be called ryno's adidas page. I took a poll a while back and you guys overwhelmingly voted for me to keep this site online. So, I did. I plan to continue to expand this site and make it worth your visit. Please excuse any mess I create as I try to move this site to the new server. I don't think you should experience any problems, but if you do, send me an email and I'll see what I can do.

I have some big things planned. Keep checking back as I post contests, new reviews, new pics, a screen saver or two, and the ever-popular wallpaper of the month.

Thank you again for visiting my site.

Open up the ol' mail bag

2000 | 08 | 07

I got the following question today. It asks about a video that I don't know about. Perhaps someone out there can identify the video and the shoes in question.

If you know the shoe, send me an email.

School Projects and more

2000 | 08 | 04

I get a lot of email from you guys requesting information for school reports. I've never had any good information for this sort of thing, but I now know someone who does. Head over to Larry's adidas page. His site has a lot of good content. Definitely worth a visit.

New Kobe Bryant Shoe - "The Kobe"

2000 | 07 | 30

adidas.com has a new ad up for Kobe Bryant's new shoe. They say "the story continues 11.3.2000" and I am guessing that is the release date. You can see a few pics (Thanks Dean) of the shoe on my Kobe page.

New Shoe of the Week : Equipment Badlander

2000 | 07 | 25

The badlander is one of adidas' newest trail/hiking shoes. I have owned adidas hiking boots in the past and they were very comfortable.

I haven't found anyone who sells these yet, so if you know of an online source, or a large shoe store chain, let me know.

What I want for Christmas

2000 | 07 | 20

In December, adidas will re-release the micropacer  [2]. The micropacer debuted in 1984, but has been brought back for the year 2K. It contains electronics in one shoe to track distance, time your run, and let you know what day it is. I found it odd that the clock is only good until the end of the year 2009. Only 600 individually numbered shoes will be released. Check out the official www.micropacer.com for more info.

This is the second pair of shoes to be released in limited production numbers recently. Only 333 pairs of the all silver EQT Predator Precision soccer shoe are being sold. Is this the next thing?

I would love to get a pair of these shoes. If you know where I can get a pair, send me an email.

Thanks to Dean for the pics
