WPW got a chance to drop in on the champs, the Kansas City Royals, as they took on the Milwaukee Brewers last week. Most of the studs were in the lineup, so we got a little peek into what’s in store gear-wise in 2016. Salvy’s Franklin CFX Pros looked just […]
I’ve been working on non-content related stuff lately, so I put together a roundup of what we’ve been digging lately.

adidas got in the playoff spirit with a release of their “Uncaged” collection, featuring lifelike depictions of several animals/mascots. We first saw this concept on Kris Bryant for the HR Derby.

They tried out new techs, Bounce (a series of hard TPU tubes) and climacool (EVA midsoles with holes in […]
I’m finally back after a two week vacation in Costa Rica. I had an amazing time but I’m sorry to have gone radio silence on WPW. Not really optimal and we’ll work on that. Just in time for the Derby tonight, I wanted to drop a few special edition posts, […]
