Not only are the Nike poggio shoes reserved for the pros, they've brought out a new shoe for them to wear. Why?? I want a pair :evil:

    Surely Adidas would be a bit annoyed at his choice of footwear. :roll:

    I doubt it. If they won't sponsor his footwear they can have no grievence

    Charteau's shoes on the top pic look very much like Lance's Rocket 7's

    Indeed. Ronaldo is Nike's flagship player yet he plays for Real Madrid who wear adidas. Messi and Barca work the other way

    a bit of Nike eye wear is sneaking in to.

    Like the x-2's I have.

    I hope their shoes are better than the dire Nike cycling shorts I had a few years ago.

    after getting into walking \ hiking i've noticed a lot of the cycling stuff gets sold in them shops with different logos. The Nike Cycling stuff also used to be sold with Nike Running on too.

    I lived my Nike shoes and would get another pair if they sold them in public. I understand they aren't really Nike, was it DMB or something like that who made them and Nike just let them use their logo

    I used to use Nike shorts for commuting, and they were really good. Have lasted a lot longer than my Gore pair actually.
