My long-wait Asics shoes finally arrived~

November 15th, 2010 at 03:57 pm

I was once a Nike fans bt now I bcm very disappointed w/ their product. All of my Nike spoiled w/in 1 yrs, some said due 2 water soakin mk its glue cm apart fr it's soles; put it aside 4 sometimes & its airbag broke; store in my car boots under sun & leather broken in2 pieces...

Watever the reason was, I throw away almost all of them. No doubt they're fashionable & nice design bt x long-lastin / comfortable if compare 2 others.

End up I gv Asics a try & I search up & down @ my places - KL, M'sia. Bt too bad it wasn't a popular brand in my area, majority of cost a bomb & last season 'left-over' stocks fr other country =_="

No choice bt I go buy it on ebay.uk & it only cost half of the price here w/ latest A/W season model & latest technology. It was a trail runnin shoes w/ Asics gel, Gore-tex, solid outside & yet comfortable inside & superb grip/thread on the bottom...

When I go bck fr office 2day, it was rainin cat's & dogs... Immediately I replaced my suede leather shoes in2 it, no more worry abt those water poles/dirt on my way 2 carpark SmileStartin 2 feel pity on others, hehe~

- 50% cheaper than here (free shippin international) Big Grin $54 pounds = $280 (RPP $599)
- Save my time & petrol/gas/parking... hassle-free

Expectin it wil last me few yrs~ Wil brin it w/ me 4 trekkin, runnin, travelin...
