I haven't either. But if you like these then it was a good move since they are apparently exclusives. And I hope you're ignoring the comments of some of the posters. None of their business.

Any difference between these socks and the one's at this years open?

mine don't say dri fit and left/right

Went to buy the Vapor NYC shoes at US Open and they are mostly gone at this point. Only very small or very large sizes. Saved $150 I guess.

Get the obsidian ones.

PS - your signature is epic. And so true.

Do you think they have the same dri fit feel?

I remember that it has different materials but not exactly sure though.
your socks might be less cotton material than the other (PE socks).... I might be wrong.
also I've seen similar socks recently at nike so your socks might not be old stocked items. (release around 2008-09).

seems like you are looking for nadal (Berdy, delpo) PE socks and believed your socks are similar to those when you buy your socks.
bottom line is... the socks is just so-so. it's not great but it's not bad.

No I'm really happy with them, I wanted cushioned socks that are Nike, and that's what I got. I do believe they are the retail version from 2009. So TODAY the retail verison is different? And then there's the PE versions? What's the breakdown of NIKE TENNIS socks today?

Nike makes socks from various factories. ( a little different situation than shoes or apparels). so many places (US, Mexico, China, Turkey, Parkistan etc). material content might be same but the feel of actual materials might be different even though they have same product number.

I noticed that elite socks were produced several other factories and made in turkey socks were better in my opinion.

it's very hard to tell until you have both socks. if you want to know more about your socks, call nike and give them the product number then ask them for production date. they might be able to tell you which year was the production date. If you got it from bay, there is a good chance that the seller got the socks from outlet which was not similar to PE socks. I've seen the socks and I felt it's lightly thinner than PE socks.

anyway, I was not really impressed by PE socks which is PSX175-130 for white (for got other color code).

If you want cushioned nike socks, Elite or nike compression socks might be the best. (Personally prefer compression socks because of arch support, I might say elite has more cushion but compression socks still has more cushion than other socks).

Thanks for the info. I've got compressions, and they're good, yes, but aesthetically I like the ones I got from the bay because it gives me the look of the cotton (four black logos, plus grey bottoms) but the dri fit and cushion of a tennis sock. But thanks for the info, I'll figure it out!

just a couple pickups for today! the crew socks dont have the L and R thing liek the pic above... strange...
stuck the elite 2.0's in there cuz they came in today and loved wearing them around the open all day! great cushioning.

You got right socks PE socks do not have L R letters.
The retail socks have L R letters in the picture above.
I believe the material is also slightly different but not 100% sure.
BTW what is black socks color code? Is it 010?

How much are the PE socks?

If someone at the Open wouldn't mind shooting me an email I'd definitely like that!

Thanks!

[sports4eva115]

here you go kimguroo!



and yes they are $8! I think I'm going to like these more because they are cheaper than elites and way better than the normal drifits. Elites are great but I find the arch support unnecessary. still yet to have to try these on the court!

Has anyone noticed that the reference of the premier wristbands is not PAC200 anymore but PAC275 whereas the composition remains the same!?

It's strange because Nike didn't change the reference in 2011 when they changed the composition (2010's wrists don't have any rubber in their composition whereas from 2011 they have 4% rubber).

Kim, do you have more details on this move??

What wristbands did you get ?
D'you have the "blue glow" and "university red" one ?
How does the blue look like compares to other blue wristband (let's say neptune blue) ?
How do the red looks compare to last year?
thanks
