but cant find anywhere, even online to buy them. Can anyone help me and tell me where I can get them or reccomend another shoe that you are happy with.
I also like the new white, red and black nike LJ/TJ/PV shoes does anyone know how those are?

It seems like everyone has those. Are you talking about spikes? or just running shoes? If its just running, i like Brooks Adrenaline

im talking about spikes

You can get those spikes (black and red) from www.firsttothefinish.com. I just ordered and received a pair of size 11 for my son. They are on close out now because the new models are coming out. They run about 1/2 size small (ordered 11 1/2) and are in limited supply.

I got the Adidas Adistar TJ spikes for myself at the same place on close out also. Very comfortable jumping shoe for a great price.

my coach just ordered the new adidas long jump shoes they seem pretty cool. they were $106

If you go to Eastbay.com you can usually find track spikes for sale their. Thats where I bought my black ones for this year. I think next year I am going to get those red and white LJ ones that Toby was wearing at the Olympics. They are pretty sweet looking. I saw those in a Eastbay magazine, so I am sure they should be on Eastbay.com.

i just got the new pair of nikes long jump spikes instead of the polevaults , the spikes are sick, granted they are bright as hell with raging red and white, they are super light, supportive and make me feel real fast down that runway, im a huge fan you should check them out. those or the reeboks, i have been wearing reeboks for the past 3 years, and i love them.

So when is Nike releasing the new vault spikes that our US vaulters debuted at the olympics?

i hear feb. 2005, but like eastbay catalogue already has the new spikes on sale. i'm sure other sources also have the new spikes on sale.

i agree Eastbay.com or finalscore.com who is a sister site of eastbay, they have good sale price and reg. price is same or cheaper then most other sites.

Although I own stock in NIKE, I've grown partial to the adidas triple jump spikes. You can still buy last year's version cheaply ($30-40). The best deal that I've found is First to the Finish ($29.95).

The new 2005 version (blue and silver) is basically the same, but they seem to fit even better.

I've had acute plantar facitiis, so arch and heel support are critical; for me and these spikes are perfect in those regards.

A perfect Holiday gift!
