From the head... To the bottle.

Hell, yeah! That's the feeling I get after my training or running. You know, I'm back on track and with high standards now. And since FILA has been "dressing" me from the sneakers to the wristbands and since I need water for the hydration and nothing's more fair than having a FILA bottle and a bottle holder:

Both were purchased at eBay for a very low price. I can't really understand how it's possible to find those bargains because all the FILA items I own have very high quality, waaaaay over average. Plus, they're both very useful, not only while I'm working out but also when I'm riding a bike or jogging. It's really a "must have" for those who are also "sporty" so if you find it too, grab it.

Ducati 999

What happens when your favorite brand of clothes meets a spectacular bike? If you look at the exclusive FILA Ducati collection you'll get a convincing answer. The quality of every piece is really impressive but one shirt in special has overcome me:

If you got this far in this text you might be wondering why... The 999 is the Ducati model used by the FILA Ducati team and hell, I love that model and to celebrate it, I got the shirt. Though I would get it anyway even if I didn't like the 999.
Yeah, the shirt is also amazing. Very warm and very comfortable. The tags say that it's made of cottom but it might be a very special kind then because it feels very soft and cozy.
Once again, thanx to my great french friend Alex who finds this sort of stuff to me. Thank you pal!

T-Shirt or Jacket?

I don't really know. It's really heavy but it has short sleeves. It has a full zipper from the waist to the neck but the fabric is not exactly meant for jackets/coats and it also has some "hole pattern". But you know what? Nothing of that really matters because it's a unique design and made by FILA and being FILA Ducati is a PLUS and the rubber emblem on the front is like the finaltouch in a work of art. Another piece for my collection brought once again by my french friend Alex.
I really have no idea how he manage to get this kind of stuff because I didn't even know that such a thing even existed. Have a look and get your own conclusions:

Ready to travel... With FILA Back Pack

Yeah, as long as it's with FILA, it's ok. This is one of those findings that once you see it you MUST get it and I didn't think twice though it was kindda expensive. I mean,compared to others but you know, to have the quality FILA puts in all products nothing can be too expensive and ifit'spart of the FILA Ducati exclusive/limited collection...
The backpack was bought at eBay and believe me, in the pics it looks average but it's HUGE. Beside the rain protection with the Ducati logo (there should be a FILA one too) it also has rain protection and a small pocket on the back for a cellphone which might come in handy.
About the bag itself, it's really pretty, very light (despite of the size) and so comfortable that I was surprised because once you have it on your back,you can hardly notice it.

Excitement

Days of excitement. The football club I support (Clube Nautico Capibaribe) will replace the company that supplies the club's apparel. What wasn't my surprise when I read that FILA has been speculated to take over. I don't have more details about it, just the feeling of two of the my fave things in life might get together and to celebrate this possible deal, I decided to try to come up with a sugestion for the shirt. It's a shame I don't have any editing software other than Paint in my computer.
Here's the result of the union Nautico + FILA:

FILA Ducati Sweaters

One can never have too many sweaters living in Sweden and if they're all made by the brand that you simply love (in my case, FILA), even hundreds can become too little. That's one of the reasons I got this one too:

One again supplied by my french friend Alex, the quality of the sweater is impressive. I really agree with him now that the italian made clothes have something different on them. The cut and the sewing is just perfect, not to mention the design with the red combining perfectly with the grayish stripes in each side. If you who are reading this now have the opportunity to touch it, you're also gonna feel that the sweater is very soft and comfortable too and the embroidered logo in the front gives the same impression as one can get while putting the cherry in the top of the cake. Just PERFECT! And of course, it is another piece of the FILA Ducati collection that I had no idea it was such a large collection.
Once again, thank you very much Alex for supplying such material to me.

Straight from France

It's obvious that I've been doing some great deals with people at eBay but one thing that it's not so obvious is that a friendship might also start with business. And what doesn't a good friendship provide?!?!
The piece bellow, a blue FILA Ducati coat is one of those things provided by one of those deals that goes so well that you become friends with the seller. After that coat I got many other things from Alex (http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/alexe237_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ), my now french friend and what wasn't the surprise when I got to know he also likes the FILA Ducati stuff andyou know, he's a supplier so he's pretty sure he knows what he's talking about when he states about the products quality.

About the jacket itself, though it's quite light, it keeps you warm. I wouldn't say it's a winter jacket but maybe it might work too with a sweater under it. IWith two pockets in the exterior and another one inside, the coat is also very comfortable, not making you feel like the marshmallow man in Ghostbusters. Besides, it's so freaking pretty and of course, it's FILA (italian made).
PS: He has another one for sale and also brand new but if you wanna get a bargain, hurry because the auction will be over very soon.

Filaguy

Finally I'm back from my deserved vacations in Greece. Though it was kindda cold and it rained the first two days, it was very interesting. Specially because it seems that there FILA is just as big as any other sports brand. I could even find fake products for sale at those small tourists shops though as a loyal consumer, lover and a huge fan, I didn't buy anything fake.
Another interesting thing that happened to me is the way I became quickly known not only in the hotel but also in the places we had been to (beach, shops and restaurants).
Ladies and gentlemen I introduce you the FILA guy:

This is one of the outfits I had been wearing those days. Note that from the head to the feet (Beanie, Sunglases, Hoodie, 3/4 trousers and the Fila Ducati sneakers) I'm all covered with FILA and maybe that's why (hehehehe) people were calling me like that. It was really funny and cool to get to places like restaurants and have people thinking that I was a famous athlete or something like this and that's when you see the importance of advertisement but I think I should discuss it in another topic.

Unexpected

To be honest, I think I should use another title because now there is nothing unexpected for me anymore when it comes to FILA's high quality/products diversity:

Though right now I have more than enough shorts or 3/4 pants, if they're FILA, it can never be too much. With that though in mind I started browsing the web again and I found this interesting thing: Very summerish, even the color so I decided to buy.
I had no idea FILA was producing such sort of stuff but I'm really glad they do and I'm sure if there was more for sale I could even profit out of it too because many people have been asking me where I got those. You know, it's very tricky to find this sort of stuff here in Sweden. Specially with this quality and the kind of details it has. Note that the waist can be adjusted and the pockets have extra protection to hold carefully whatever you put inside. If you look at the backside you're gonna see that the back pockets are also very good and they both have two buttons and a good "depth". Keys, wallet, cellphone, compass, iPod and almost anything you might need to have with you can be placed taken wherever you go and as I said in the beginning, I'm not surprised anymore but it's meaningless to write so look at the pics instead and then go get yourself one of those. If you're lucky enough to find, grab it because it's totally worth it.

Regrets? No Way!

You know, regret is a very strong and negative word and because of that, it doesn't really match me though I kindda tasted a little of it a few days ago. After searching for months, trying to find and buy one of those FILA Ducati exclusive/limited sneakers, I finally found ONE pair for sale in one auction at the german eBay (www.ebay.de).
I'm not really sure what the description said because first I was too excited with the possibility of finally getting myself a "must have". For whoever collects FILA stuff it's really something. And second because it's been a while I have no contact at all with the german language so I decided to bid anyway.
After a few days I finally received the sneakers and what a surprise, they were used and I mean USED not used:

I wondered for a while: Was I just unlucky? Thinking twice, I'd say that though the sneakers are kindda too used I was lucky anyway because it's not everyday that you can find FILA Ducati stuff like this at your reach because after all, they're a limited edition so if you're one of the lucky guys who managed to purchase one, or if you get the chance to find another in better condition, grab this opportunity because we can never know when another one is gonna pop up like this and to finish the post: no, I have no regrets because one can get none after purchasing FILA branded stuff.
