ADIDAS ADRIA HIGH & LOW (METALLIC)

Introducing the Adidas Adria. It's stud mania at adidas at the moment! Following up from the release of the Forum mid and the women's Superskate mid, two new styles have now been thrown onto the bandwagon. The low model is a dazzling gold drenched canvas contrasted with stark black leather tri stripes. Gold studs on the toes add just enough of a fierce flourish to tip these kicks from dainty to daring. The mid is an all black coated canvas, with studs and a giant studded trefoil on the heel. Available in February from Styles.

Hybrid Shoes for Hybrid Runners

Minimalist footwear may be all the rage, but there's another growing category of running shoes out there: the "Hybrid" shoe.
Meant to perform equally well, or at least adequately on both roads and trails, this type of shoe makes a lot of sense for a lot of folks.
For one thing, if you run trails some days, [...]

TRAINING: Stay in Shape This Winter With an Indoor Triathlon

The music in the indoor cycling studio was pounding as the participants spun furiously. Dozens of athletes were grinding it out when the instructor at the front called out, "Time!" With that, all pedaling ceased and the athletes made a mad dash for the door. Other gymgoers looked on in amazement: What was going on? Was this a new fitness craze? Some form of boot camp?
It was actually the gym's first-ever indoor triathlon.
When the snow starts to fall, racing can be very difficult. Running outside can be rather unpleasant. In the past few years, the concept of indoor triathlons has arisen as a multisport alternative in the gray and slushy months. While these competitions may vary in size and scope, the central tenet is a swim in the pool, followed by a set interval on a stationary bike and then a treadmill run. They are great for everyone—from the novice who is interested in multisports to the dedicated gym rat who wants to switch things up and try something new.
An indoor tri will test your mettle in three sports, so it is perfect for cross-training. Runners will benefit from the back-of-body workout on the bike, while cyclists and swimmers will benefit from the increased caloric burn and intense workout that running provides. Plus, since you are switching sports every 10 to 15 minutes, you'll never have an opportunity to be bored.
For your first indoor tri, make sure you have practiced each discipline at least once a week for two weeks prior. Devoting as little as a half hour once a week to each of these sports will be adequate preparation for the event. You just need to be comfortable with the sport, no need to be in peak form. (Although you may find that the variety of activities is more fun than your typical gym routine.) Another plus is that the equipment you need is provided by most gyms, so you don't need to invest in new gear just to try out the sport.
Chances are good that your local gym may host an indoor tri; if not, lobby for one! A quick search on the Web yielded over 314,000 entries for "indoor tris," including a national series from a major triathlon company.
As you look forward to planning your calendar, clear some space for an indoor tri. In roughly an hour, you'll get a great workout and a peek into the multisport world.

Campus Roar

The decibels that reverberate in your head don?t actually begin in the stands. By the time they arrive in your ears, they?re merely an echo.

Leather pounds. Rubber soles squeak. Whistles blow. Buzzers sound.

Basketball sound waves bounce over, through and around: concrete, bleachers and pillars. The standing-room-only capacity crowd.

And you rally on - sounding off in affirmation of school pride. The colors you paint on. The same ones you bleed. The energy behind the reason you stand and scream bordering on obscene.

The best 40 minutes of any given night play out regardless of what rival comes to town. Accented in rehearsed chants; exercised on the fly. Routine traditions seamlessly translated into moments of raw excitement redefined.

Your new homework assignment: Campus Roar.

A refresher course in fandom made pure. The chance to catapult your squad into T-shirt lore.

Players drive the game. Fans drive the stands. Nike Basketball is putting March in your hands. Forget names and faces. Refuse to focus on the profane and the mundane alike. Share with your friends and watch your school?s Momentum Meter spike.

Create your Campus Roar here on Nikebasketball.com or visit our Facebook Fan Page for the chance to have what you scream become what the whole world sees when they think of your team.

The Collection: LeBron 8 V/2 Christmas Day

Stop an opponent?s run. Choke off the passing lanes, defend your basket.

Stop and start. Yo-yo. Crossover. Hesitation dribble.

Jump stop. Floater. Fadeaway. Or gather and rise with two hands.

Stop and pop. Off the bounce. Step back. Don?t be afraid to call glass.

Red means stop. Unless you?re a hardwood bull and the game is your basketball matador muse.

This is the LeBron 8 V/2 Christmas Day.

Coach K: 800 Wins at Duke

Believe it or not, Duke wasn?t always Duke.

Cameron Indoor as a way of life; the Crazies a raucous, linear interpretation of winning as an extension of their presence.

And Durham, North Carolina almost didn?t become Krzyzewskiville.

Walk-up lines begat sleeping bags. Sleeping bags begat tents. But winning begat the waiting. And in the early 1980s, Mike Krzyzewski was still waiting for his Blue Devils to click.

Enter: 1984. The first of Coack K?s 25 20-win seasons at Duke to date. And their first March dance card together.

Two years later the Blue Devils produced 37 wins and a runner-up finish. By the turn of the decade, Duke was on the verge of hanging back-to-back national championship banners.

In the two decades since, they?ve climbed the season-long ladder that ends with cutting down championship nets twice more.

Annual contenders. Conference and national front-runners. The current defending champs.

Communication is their calling card. Simply: there?s a reason Coach K?s Blue Devils are talked about more than anybody else - they talk to each other on the floor.

Forcefully. Encouraging. Carrying out his message of leadership.

Congratulations are in order: tonight, Coach K became just the fifth coach in college basketball history to win 800 games at one school.

Under the leadership of one man, Duke became the envy of almost every program in the land.

Today we?re treating you Adidas Originals it seems that there was some confusion with the Japanese. Seems like they actually thought that there was something going on near the emperor of Japan’s palace.It has little or none and, aside from the insoles provided by Adidas Originals, additional arch support purchases (such as those ugly green or blue inserts) offer little or no help. Perhaps the flat-footed players could get by without kicking a toe ball.We always bust open the naughty-or-nice vault on Tuesdays the 7th of December. So go ahead and open that gift idea and have yourself a happy little Tuesday the 7th of December.
