Combat Speed Wrestling Shoes

November 4, 2009

Trying to figure out the best way to present these old school wrestling shoes. Keep in mind if you are looking for new wrestling shoes – visit our brand pages at adidas, Asics, Nike or Matman to buy the currently available shoes.

Here are some blasts from the past. Let us know what you think of this shoe. Also, post ideas on how you’d like to see these photos. Do you like this format? Would you prefer a gallery?

Notice the Yellow stripes. This is how you can tell them apart from an earlier version of the Combat Speeds. Man do I wish I had a few thousand pairs of these shoes.

    These are by far the best ever made.Not so much the color but the quality.I have 5 boys that wrestle and would buy all 5 these if I could find them in Black and Red

    I have been searching high and low for a new pair of combats and they are so hard to find in a size 9…todays shoe don’t hold a candle to the comfort and flexibility of this shoe. I wish adidas would put them back into production.

    [Jeff's Comments] Harry I removed your email address if you want people to be able to email you post it again. I think your best chance of finding these shoes is ebay or walk up to a person that has them. We had a few hundred pairs two years ago that went quickly. Some people bought two and three pairs and we were selling them for $150 a pair (probably should have been at $200 or $250 a pair).

    Hey man I wrestled my last two years of HS in these and in College with these shoes same color, I love the combat speeds, they were the best wrestling shoes ever, I have a deal going with my nephew who’s in HS now that if he makes it to the state finals he can wear my old school shoes, He’s all excited he has been asking about these for years.

    if the combat 3′s come out in the teal/pink color way im gettin those no matter what, otherwise probably not, cant believe their runnin them for so cheap

  12. jeffpape on March 10, 2010 at 6:20 am

    From what I understand, there will not be a new color until 2011. Sometimes this means January 2011, so there may be a new color way before the end of next wrestling season. adidas did this with the last time they brought out the Combat Speed. They brought the Teal colorway out during the mid season (and it sound out very quickly). When we know, you will know.

    I have been sort of told though it will not be the teal/pink color way that will be coming out. But I can’t verify that for sure. Maybe the Blue and Yellow/Gold to match the Asics Aggressor that is coming out. We’ll see what the final color way will be. Remember we were the first ones to have a photo of the Combat Speed III wrestling shoes. You can pre-order the Combat Speed III wrestling shoes at that link. Be one of the first ones to have them for 2010.

    Yeah it will be interesting to see what color they come out with. adidas is keeping it pretty tight lipped on the color combination that will be available in 2011. The other question is will they be available in January 2011…and of course how many people will wait to buy shoes seeing what color they are coming out with in ’11.

    I have been looking for a pair of old school adidas from the 80′s. They are the neon yellow and orange(pink) ones. Does anyone have a clue where to get a pair of these? If anyone has a size 10 1/2 in good shape let me know. Adidas does old school throwbacks for their tennis shoes wish they would do some old school wrestling shoes.

    Sorry it has taken so long to reply. You won’t find those at any store. Try flickr or ebay. Or if you see someone with them on, offer to buy them off their feet…
