They certainly don't get Nike for free.

i'm jealous of solinsky's beard. or rather his moustache. i've been able to grow a beard since i was 14, but no 'stache without just for men.
I was talking with the Wisconsin guys at the Wisconsin Camp this summer and they all agreed that Adidas spikes suck. Adidas didn't even give them their 'top of the line' jerseys, they had to settle for the cheaper version.
It seems like a lot of guys dont like the Adidas spikes very much. If you saw the ND Invite, the majority of Notre Dame runners were wearing Nikes which had been taped up to hide the logo.
christ solinsky looks f***in HUGE in that pic! Hes gotta be at least a buck 70
Thanks for the info...that's so weak of Adidas to not give WI top of the line gear. I wonder how they get their Nike racing spikes? Do they have to pay for them? It looks like some of the team has some pretty obsure Nikes.
That's cool that you were at the WI camp. I was in the #1 group at the WI Camp of Champions in 1987 with coach Jerry Schumauker. He ran one of our 10 milers in big furry bunny slippers! No lie! He managed to keep up for a few miles and quickly fell back - but he finished!
Adidas can't be too happy about this. I think a few of their reps frequent this site, maybe they would like to comment.
I'm pretty sure those are adidas's top of the line team stuff. They change it every year, but when I ran for an adidas school, we got something very similar. The price tag read $90 for the shorts and $90 for the jersey.
I think that head track coach Ed Nuttycombe is the real issue, I think he is still probably on the Nike dole but that's just my opinion.

you have to remember he is running next to bairu who is probably about 93 pounds
well at least they look cool in the adidas sweat bands.
Jefferson and Haas are wearing Nike's too, even though they are an Adidas school. I wonder what the Hogs are wearing since they went to Adidas this year.
Solinsky lettered in wrestling the last 2 years at WI as well as in track and CC. 12 letter in a D1 school is a modern record, he will likely do it !!
I bet the Ethopians don't complain about their adidas kit.
I'm at an adidas school. I don't wear there spikes. If the adidas people are reading letsrun I hope they see mine. HEY ADIDAS MAKE SPIKES LIGHT AND COMFY, STOP TRYING TO MAKE THEM SPARKLE.
All of the Arkansas runners were wearing Adidas at SECs, along with all of the Tennessee and Miss State runners..
I think the Wisco guys were wearing adis last year at nats.
Mike McManus, where are ya when we need ya !!????
Right, like chokers deserve better????
Show a picture of Bekele wearing adidas spikes. Geb was the last top Ethiopian to wear 'em, and his were custom made. The current generation of Adidas spikes are crap: they look like crap and they feel like crap.
Spoken like a real princess who needs to toughen up her baby-soft little round-heeled feet. Bekele isn't the ONLY Ethiopian, chump.
