Yeah samples are always 8.5.. always..

I've been tempted to chop my toes off many a time...

Bare jokes. We defo need a "gold" section so threads like these can be saved for all to enjoy again and again. I never tire of reading comedy like this.

The box is so completely wrong. Doesn't look much like original adidas box.

True!

@mr.poor
I don´t know why u get so mad. Whatever...

I talked to a friend of mine last night, he´s with adidas (J. Cat. Manager). He told me, it is possible that there are samples (with samples-tag) that never get into production. But these samples never go into retail. They will never be sold. If there´s a sample-sale for just adidas-staff members, they sell just articles that ARE in prod. They are even not allowed to sell articles that WILL go into prod. For me that sounds like, if u have/can get samples that are not or will not go into prod., it is not an "offical deal". Perhaps u can get some when u know somebody who´s working in a prod. factory?!

[mr.pure]

Nope, nothing like that.
No.6 is an Adidas run by Adidas itself.
It doesn't sell samples anymore but certainly still did 5 years ago.

And less of the Mr. Poor shit.
Just cos you were proved wrong, despite "knowing" the truth about the fakes !

[darula]

Who started with that nickname-shit?
Let´s bury the hatchet u digged out
Oh, five years ago...reallly? We are talking about right here&now, don´t we? Maybe adidas changed their philosophy there?

[mr.pure]

Errrrr, you did !
And no, you were talking in absolutes, saying that Adidas wouldn't do that, when they already had !
You were wrong, end of.
Hatchet buried.........................temporarily.

[darula]

Me? ok...I think, I now at least "understand" your avatar.

Since when are you an authority on fakes, Da(not)rula ?

I guess, I just can´t read or don´t understand your sense of humor.
Ok, let´s bury it. I was wrong, you are the winner. 99 points to you.

Has anybody heard the same storys of adidas factories as of Nike factories...The thing with the fakes that are produced in the same factories as the legit stuff?!

[Old Gregg]

Is it just superstars that the samples are 8.5 because I have some adidas football boots that are samples but they are a 7 or 7.5??

[Sweet_Kicks]

^^^^^^^
Generic sample size is 8.5uk and has been for some time now, there were and probably still are samples produced in different sizes, depends on what they are produced for, salesman samples, photoshoot samples, pre-production, prototype etc.

[Old Gregg]

Cheers S_K, didn't think they were fake but thought it was a bit odd with everyone saying samples only come in 8.5
