The best shorts I have found for footbag

Post by david »

In my five years of playing I have dropped many a trick because of the bag hitting my shorts. I have also been called a girl many a time when my shorts came just a little too much above the knee. I have also had the pleasure of standing in store dressing rooms air shredding to see just how much give I had in certain areas. If you play as seriously as I do you know that shorts can be a big issue.

I have over the years found a few good pairs but never anything I really loved playing in. The planet footbag shorts are great but they rip up so fast its a waste for me to buy them.

This year at Funtastiks I borrowed a pair of shorts from the always fashionable Waylon Lew and have since had him buy me a pair of my own (I paid him, in a way). I just ordered 3 more pairs for Christmas.

Anyway, I know others have similar issues with shorts and if you are my body type a size M in these: http://www.soccermagicdiscounts.com/adi ... rice-html/ will be perfect for you. They are 18 dollars on that site in a bunch of cool colors. You can also find them for 10 dollars on another site but only in one color with limited sizes, just google Adidas Toque Short.

This is me wearing them. You might be able to look half as good.

So thanks to Waylon for the heads up and thanks to Adidas for making these cheap, I have spent upwards of $30 on shorts before that weren't as good.

And if these suck for you, sorry. They just seem to hug my buns just right so I thought I'd share.

I agree wholeheartedly. I love playing in these shorts.

That hat is from David Beyers, and it's a neon-green TMNT hat! If you want to be flamboyantly stylish, that's the hat to beat [off] all other hats.
