Wow, time really flies! I had meant to post this video review after returning from China in November, but stepped off the plane and into a whirlwind of end-of-year 3N2 activities. Our 2010 product has been steadily arriving at the Orlando warehouse, our new website will be launching soon and I’ve been busy traveling to tournaments and tradeshows. I’m currently at NFCA in Nashville and will have a video of Michele Smith posted soon. We have been working with Michele and our athletes on fastpitch product development and of course many, many meetings. In any case, I often have folks ask me about what makes our Momentum turf shoe special. I was able to take some time when I was working with our product teams in China to get some of my thoughts on video. It’s shot in the Hong Kong harbor – the morning after my 30 hour + trip – so apologies for all of the background noise.

u take it on TST, the side of victoria habour…do u know that japan and taiwan ppl also like to play baseball and softball…u can do business over there too
You are correct. I was on the TST side of Victoria Harbour shooting that video after a long plane ride so jet lag was definitely in effect. Yes, Taiwan, Korea and Japan love baseball and softball. It has really helped that each of these countries have had players in the MLB and the fan support has grown as a result. I can’t wait to see the first mainland Chinese player make it into the MLB and see if that increases the fan base in China as it has with basketball in China.
In any case, our product is currently available in Japan and Korea at US military bases, and of course online.
I was wondering what the sizes of the turf trainers ran like. For instance I wear a 13 in reebok and a 14 in adidas. How do these compare with other shoes generally? I want to get my wife and I a pair and we have them picked out, just want to be sure to get the right sizes.
Thank you,

Jeremy,
Thanks for the sizing question. Shoe brands typically produce different turfs in different widths so without knowing the Adidas/Reebok style you have I will not be able to give you a fair comparison to 3N2 sizing.
Our Turfs are a D Width so if you have a narrow foot you should order a half size down. If you have a standard to wide foot than our turfs will fit true to size.
For your wife, our conversion from men to women’s sizing is 1.5 down. So if she wears an 8 in women’s shoes we would recommend a 6.5 in our men’s turfs. For a narrow women’s foot you may need to adjust a half size as prescribed above.
Each of the 3N2 footwear product detail pages on the website have a size conversion chart for your reference. For example, follow this link and look to the right side of the page and just below the colors there is a “Sizing Chart” rollover link that when clicked will bring up the conversion in the same window.
