The new adidas wrestling shoes are now available - at least several of them are available now for shipment. The new Response GT’s, new Response II, Tyrint’s, new Extero’s and Extero Jr are now in stock ready to ship. The new Mat Wizzards III and Cejudo’s did not come in as expected.

We did get a bunch of new white adistars in and a bunch of Nike Inflicts in yesterday.

Here are the results, we watched the Division I finals with a different prespective. We were checking out what the finalists were wearing. If you just watched the D1 finals, you would not think that adidas, Brute or Matman offered head gears or that adidas and Nike are not that dominated by ASICS. Not that ASICS does not sell a lot of wrestling shoes with us, but wow they definitely were featured in the finals.

Signature Head Gears - 16

Tornado Head Gears - 4

ASICS Rulon Wrestling Shoes - 8 pair

Nike Inflict Wrestling Shoes - 5 pair (We’ll have them next year)

ASICS Supreme Lyteflex - 1 pair (Gone)

ASICS Fifty Four - 1 pair (Gone)

adistar Wrestling Shoes - 1 pair (We have some left)

adidas Tyrint IV’s Wrestling Shoes - 1 pair (We have some left)

adidas adistar - 1 pair old ones (Gone)

adidas - John Smith SL - 1 pair old ones (Gone)

ASICS Split Seconds - 1 pair

Follow this link to the new adidas wrestling shoes.

I suspect the Mat Wizzards will go from $100 to $115. Vapor Speed II’s will be around $85. Extero’s around $50. The other shoes will likely be Tyrint’s around $60 and Responses will likely be around $75 to $85. We’ll see what the prices wind up being.

Top Wrestling Shoes Sales

So far ASICS Wrestling is winning the war with more sales then adidas wrestling in the past 6 weeks or so.

ASICS is winning the war with lots and lots of SKU’s to match adidas high performing individual colors. If you take a look at our wrestling shoes pages - adidas wrestling shoes and ASICS wrestling shoes 

ASICS has lot more SKU’s that are selling well. The top selling wrestling shoe for ASICS is the Rulon Wrestling Shoe in Black and Red.

The top selling adidas wrestling shoes are the White adistar wrestling shoe and the White Super Response. Look for the White adistar wrestling shoes to be in short supply this season. They are flying off the shelves and we have already received phone calls with parents hoping and praying we had a particular size in stock. This usually means, they will be in short supply during the season.

The White Super Response just made our threshold for being considered a top selling shoe. I think part of the problem with this shoe is it has been updated with better material and does look cool when you see it in person, but it looks online about the same as the Response line that sell for $15 less. This shoe will have to be seen and sales will probably raise drastically on this shoe.

Something we have not seen in a while is it looks like the Tornado Headgear will have some competition this season. Some of it coming from it’s own company with the Twister head gear and some of it coming from the new adidas adistrike headgear from adidas wrestling. Don’t think this is the first headgear from the guys at adidas. The same people that run adidas wrestling have been making headgears for years under their Brute name. The Tornado is still the top dawg and probably will still be this season.

We just found out the new Adistrikes on the way to the store. Once we have the Adistrikes in White/Red they will be on the website ready to purchase!

We created a couple of brief videos on the new Asics and adidas Shoes that you can check out. The first one the Adistrike just shows the Adistrike. The other two Asics and adidas show all the new shoes for the 2007-2008 season along with estimated prices and availability.

Also, I say in the Asics video that we are only going to show the high-end new shoes, but I decided to include them all…

Share the link with your friends that might want to check out the new shoes. Let us know if you like the videos and if we should keep doing them. If they get a lot of views, we’ll keep featuring the new products on YouTube…
