My New Kicks

Finally i got myself a pair or new shoes after my ASICS Gel started to worn off after 3 years plus of all condition use and bashings. The cushioning is worn off and one side is trying it's very hard not to open up wide like a crocodile. (crocs?) I got it patched the other day and the cobbler said the gluing won't last long... Damn right is he !





I was planning to buy new shoe later but i decided not to postpone any more. The reason is i slipped and sprained my ankle while playing badminton. The shoe stability totally koyak d. Luckily not a bad injury. I have to get a new shoe. ASICS is a great brand but i wanna try out other brands as well.





Behold my new New Balance 749.... Feels comfy as the shoe has a soft and breathable mesh that does not restrict the foot movement. (good for kicks and equivas especially in Body Combat). The N-Lock technology which is an intergrated lacing system ensures the foot stays stationary in the shoe and does not slip. (good for shuffle and badminton !!!) The Abzorb and Acteva Lite system provides more cushioning on impact move and keep the shoe light. (great for jumping and running..!!!!) I have yet to try the shoe out on sports but from what i did when i tried the shoe (walking,jump a bit and i somehow almost tried to do lunges there....) the condition feels very promising.





I was asking around on what people feel about Nike shoes. I got the good and the bad reviews. I was almost determined to get Nike shoes but my heart changed after i tried out the shoes. The lower range shoes does not have the proper cushioning and stability i need. The higher ranges does but the price also high lah..... Way beyond my budget so i settled for NB instead.
