Adidas Performance store Oxford Street 12th August 2012
The three models at the door and the queue is not for a club but for a Tom Daley book-signing session inside.
Adidas can't seem to make up their minds. Latest Team GB design is being worn but note the earlier suit is still on the TD image on the shopfront.

This is how Adidas Customer Services explain the situation:
The half white later design was manufactured for competing athletes only and never intended for general purchase.
The earlier "Team GB Replica Range" by Stella McCartney was for sale and was intended to be something "inspirational and to unite the nation".

So I found - This - on ebay. I would love it but seems like it will sell for a lot.

Welcome as new member today - well spotted.


Size 32" and new in its box - would be interesting to know how this was obtained in view of Adidas's assurance about strictly limited availability.
Only a matter of time I guess and I predicted an Ebay item before long.
Seller is in the north of England and 19 bids so far reaching £35.
Eight days to go however and I would even venture a guess to finalise at triple that.
This is one of seller's four Team GB items (hooded top, T-shirt and shorts also).

thanks.

I check this now and then but never created an account to post anything. >.>

OK - keep thinking for a suitable post.
Update: Adidas have nothing to add except to say that they can give no account for goods appearing on offer at Ebay.

To add to the above Adidas cannot vouch for "source, quality, authenticity".
Bids now gone to £43 and swimmingfast123 seems to sell quite a lot of olympic memorabilia, with good Ebay performance ratings.
