Well I spent $250 on Nike stuff including the exclusive ROGER THAT and VAMOS RAFA tee that was there. Shipments will go out later this week.

I'm happy Nike released more colors of the premier wristbands. I only wear these things now. I figure, if they are good enough for Nike pros they are good enough for me!

Cheers!

The Action Green wristbands are quite vibrant. I think they looked really good on Nadal in his first match.

For me, the Indian Wells outfit, while it was just inverted colors, was better than his Australian Open outfit.

Cheers!

I concur with your assessment.

Then again, Nadal's been MIA for over a month so everything looks both better and new :)

ROGER THAT was red with baby blue and white writing. I got the women's VAMOS RAFA and it was heather baby blue with green. The men's RAFA was neon (volt?) with blue writing if I remember.

Nice!! Did they seem to have a large amount of these, or were supplies going fast? And also, did you get sick, might go out later in the week, but not if my kids will get sick.

Anybody see a Cargo Khaki/red bandana?

Is the above bandana another exclusive like the pro wristbands I bought?

I saw it last Friday but decided against getting one as I only wear caps when playing. I may be going back this week.

Nice picture!

Although the Neptune Blue and Action Green bandanas are the same as those available for retail, they are actually tagged the same as Nike's PE gear. If you notice, the Red bandana has the traditional Nike packaging for its bandanas the past year or so.

Enjoy your items (the wristbands especially!!)

Cheers!

Very nice wristbands, actually they are released in China, same wristbands, but different package.

Europe got them as well, but the ones sold at the tournament are mad of better materials, only made for pros and a few select pro tournaments where they are sold.

I second that. These are like 20x more comfortable to wear than the retail cotton ones. No comparison.

It is actually pretty cool, with the Neptune Blue wristbands, both Federer and Nadal have worn them. Usually it is only one of them, but Nadal wore them at the Australian Open this year and Federer is currently wearing them in Indian Wells. Just thought it was neat. :)

Cheers!

It's a federer exclusive for his Black v-neck, but he didn't wear it. He wore a black/red swoosh. This cargo/red swoosh is unique.

I picked these up. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about bandanas, wristbands, etc so I don't know if these are common or sold only at Indian Wells. Any help is appreciated. Also, orry to those who inquired about help. I was busy prior to my trip and didn't have time to check the boards, however, I can help with Toronto or Cincinnati later this summer if they have anything.

Hi Marlinsfan,
The blue bandana on the right side is a retail one (you can find it on TW), both green and blue on the right side are exclusive ones from IW. Well done.
Kind regards.

No, they aren't exclusive, they are on TW. The only IW exclusive headband was the Khaki/Red.

No they are exclusive ones. If you look at the reference, it is a "PAC" reference, which is always a proof of exclusivity.
If you compare both retail (at TW or everywhere else) and exclusive items (only sold at IW), and even if Nike call them with the same color name, you will see that the color is a bit different.

I'm in need of clarification. For instance, on Nike's site the Neptune Blue bandana is Style - Color # 411317-445. Here is the tag on my bandana:



Basically I just want to know what bandana I have haha. Any help is appreciated. I can take pics of the other tags if necessary

The bandana you have is Neptune Blue. The coding is different on Nike's website because that is the bandana (also Neptune Blue) that you can buy for retail. The Neptune Blue they sold at IW is the same color, same composition (100% cotton), but just sold in special order (made to be sold in IW only) packagaing. For example, in Miami they will probably have Nadal's Anthracite/Peach Cream bandana. Packaging will look the same, product codes will be similar, except that bandana is not available for retail sale in that same colorway, thus making it about 1000000 times harder to acquire! That is why the Cargo Khaki/Action Red Bandana they sold in IW is the rarer item, simply because the same colorway is not available anywhere else.

Does that explain things? :)

Nike isn't the best with keeping color codes the same from product to product, even on very similar items.

Cheers!

If I'm not mistaken, I thought the IW exclusives that were blue are the Federer bandanas and wristbands. Not Neptune Blue. So, if Im correct that would classify them as Blue Abyss. Check out my gear in my previous post to let me know what you guys think.

Bri is right about color codes.
PAC 183-441 is napture blue with white swoosh.
retail version product number has different color code number but the material is same. color might be slightly different if the retail version and PAC bandanas were produced in different factories.
Usually Bandanas are 100% cotton so there is no difference between retail version and PAC version.
wristbands might be different though because usually nike uses 9X% nylon and X% rubber material for PAC version.
