I have the new Addias LJ spikes they are great...i had the Nike LJ ones last year and part of off season...and the Addias is alot lighter..but when you're on a harder surface you can feel more of the ground..but they feel more like a spike to me.

i currently have the adidas LJ and they are the best spikes i have ever had, but i used to have reebok LJ/PV spikes and i really liked those. so basically its up to you, try them all on and decide which one feels best

I just got the Dick Pond Athletics catalogue and they had a page with reebok spikes for a lot of different events. I would try looking online at www.dickpondathletics.com

I got some spikes from them not too long ago and they were fine with service, etc.

thanks! indeed they do have them in stock, but no pics! the above pic is okay, but I saw someone have a bright green version of the new ones (I think) and I *really* liked them
