Good God, if that's been produced by Adidas, I'll eat my hat.
The blue paint on the speakers is patchy, the tape wound around the handle is uneven & amateur looking & someone's just got a bit mad with little round stickers all over the place.
If Adidas had commissioned a boombox customisation they would've done a much better job that that, surely?

Also, have you seen the category it's listed in?
Home & Garden > Garden & Plants > Garden Furniture > Loungers
???

Still, it's quite a novel way to bump up the price of a relatively unremarkable mid-sized Hitachi... although the clock makes this one a bit special.
I've sent the seller a question asking if it works & how long he's owned it for. I'm genuinely interested...

Like the avatar, btw. is that Dunk from the Weetabix bunch?

it looks like CRAP!!! they would never do a bad job like that. they could get so many dope artist to do it and they might even do it for free!!!! this guy is trying to sell a box trying to get people to believe his story is all....... Nod Yes

I have seen several different adidas boxes in various stores round the world and they all look this crap. I promise. Last one I saw was a gf-575. Just a crap box that they got someone to loosly paint and sticker up. I say this is very genuine and most importantly, CRAP !!

Have to admit i thought it was a bogus adidas box too... stickers,bit of ribbon on handle, and a 3 second stencil spray job on back, if uve seen more royal i take ur word for it,but its defo S.H.1.T.
Thanks isolator,u remembered his name (i couldn't) ofcourse its dunk!

God only knows where I remembered "Dunk" from...
Great, isn't it? I can remember crap like that all day , but can I remember where I put my keys? Roll Eyes

Royal: really? Do you think the one's you've seen are all homers like this one clearly is, or maybe Adidas ran a competition way back & these are some of the entrants...?

I would of sacked the bloke from Adidas for coming up with that crap Roll Eyes

real or not - that is a bad job Laugh Out Loud

No response at all from the seller to my genuine question.
I can't say I'm shocked that it hasn't sold if that's how potential customers are treated, never mind the high price & the dubious quality of the customisation...

If it was cheaper, you could refurbish it, but that thing looks like cr@p!
