Not Another One?
That's what my long suffering hubby said when he saw me toting an Adidas paperbag. To tell you truth, I wasn't planning on getting this pair. It's just that, I happened to read about Adidas King of the Road (KOTR) race launched on Apr 10 and scheduled to be held on Sep 9. Since I happened to see the new Adidas ClimaCool Seduction shoes featured on the KOTR registration page, I decided to check it out at the store. Just look-see, I told myself.
Somehow, accidentally bought a pair and accidentally registered myself for the 16.8K distance. It wasn't the ad campaign, it wasn't because Katy Perry and David Beckham hawking the shoes but it's the colour that got me. That and the fact that the staff at Adidas Gardens Mall are friendly. I am always a sucker for good customer service.
My most expensive shoes todate, setting me back RM449 and I bought it just for the "gaya"/style. Heh Girls can be so vain.

Shoes in current rotation. Nike Lunarglide+2 (for short distance only - nothing more than 7K or I'll start blistering), Brooks Glycerin 9 (currently for long runs), Brook PureConnect & Adidas ClimaCool Seduction. Should I add Skechers GoRun into the mix too? I am so bankrupting myself on shoes.
Remember the 1 Vision Run I did on Mar 4th? That blur run I did, finished, went back home only to realise that I got a placing? Yup, that one.
After more than a month, I finally got my hands on the placing medal and the cash prize. Better late than never, I say!
A week to go for Energizer Night Race and running around the Sepang International Circuit. Let's hope I can do good timing next Saturday and not keel over with exhaustion doing a 15.5K run! Good luck me!
Love the red! Wonder if it is available in SG! Go shopping tomorrow. :P
ReplyDeleteI bet there are! ^^
DeleteMy first response? "Eeek it's not pink!" Then I realized it's a heck of a lot nicer than pink. You go girl! I'll keep 'em crossed.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a helluva lot nicer than pink! Hence the reason for me to accidentally buying it.
DeleteThanks! :)
Pink is for girlish girl.
Deletechili red is for hot sensual woman like Lina, ahem~
My race outfit is usually neon pink. Very easy to spot me one! xD
Deletewow you have so many pairs there! :)

DeleteLOL
Hot, red shoes! Wow, can easily attract attention to the lady wearing this pair of shoes.
ReplyDeleteThat's the reason lah! xD
DeleteAnd you got 4 pairs of running shoes. I only have a pink for aerobic - my aerobic class has been shut down long time ago. Now this pink baby is in my shoes closet... waiting to decompose.
ReplyDeleteIf I lined up all my shoes (+training/gym shoes) there'll be more!
DeleteGila shoes! ;p
You should do that and post it up here. Do include all your heels.
Delete"Diamonds are girls best friend", nah, it's too expensive and would leave it to guys to settle.
I prefer, "Shoes are girls best friend. And handbags come second".
I only own one handbag at a time. Casual sling bags one. Camera bag one. That's all. So kesian. hihi
DeleteI've been very cheapskate nowadays.... Always hunting for 50% or 70% off for my heels.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteStill hunting for new pair of heels as we speak! ;)
not only shoes lah, i think now buying clothes also i will not buy if less than 50% discount.. you know lah, nowadays every month also got sales, wait for next month things already put up to 50% discount..
DeleteI haven't bought any new clothes in months! @.@
DeleteThe most expensive one I got was a Hush Puppies shoes, that's about 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHow come I've become stingier over decade?
My most expensive pair of shoes would be my leather heeled boots I got when I was 3 months pregnant with Raimie. ^^
DeleteNow, you don't see me buying a pair of shoes that cost more than RM200!
I usually buy those promo/cheap shoes when I'm on vacation - those buy 2 pairs for 5,000yen or something. xD
yalah, more even more than RM150 i need to consider.. how can shoes be so expensive?? i just step them on the ground right?? can see myself stepping RM500 on the ground~~
DeleteWith shoes that expensive, you don't see me stepping out in the rain wearing them! LOL
DeleteNext week you'll turn into Energizer Bunny running in the red shoes?
ReplyDeleteIf time permit, I'll bake some muffin for you at the end of the run.
Not wearing it next week yet. Still easing myself into it.
DeleteWill wear my trusty Glycerin 9 for that distance.
I'll wait for you and your muffins! And dun wan to see it on the screen only! kakaka
Queen, you must bake a muffin in the shape of shoes!! red color somemore for First Lady, hahaha~~
DeleteNot muffin lah like that. Must bake a big cake!
DeleteYvonne, can ah? I order from you once I do a full marathon to celebrate! ^^
wakakakakaka!! yes, i support you with this new pair of shoes..
ReplyDeleteSupport with $$$ I don't mind also. kakaka
Deletebright red somemore, such a choking color, haha!! but then i think the other one you posted earlier is nicer, new balance or what?? the orange and pink one..
ReplyDeleteI don't own a New Balance shoes yet. No feel for them. kakaka
DeleteOrange & pink? Oh! That one is Newton. So damn expensive. RM599 you know! Some more need to take time to wear them because of the shoes' construction. Not yet lah! Maybe some day. Soon... ;p
so professional you have different shoes for different purpose.. i just have one pair of shoes for all the purpose, hahaha~~
ReplyDeleteLast time I also got one all-purpose shoes to wear. Dunno why now so gila already. Think of it as motivation for running and training. xD
Deletethe Energize Night Run, wow, this is interesting right?? i wonder if you are gonna wear this new red shoes to run??
ReplyDeleteENR should be interesting. Got to run around SIC and wear a headlamp summore.
DeleteNope. Don't think I'll be wearing the Adidas shoes just yet. It'll either be Brooks' Glycerin 9 or PureConnect.
I like the previous color scheme in Pure series, the new color scheme is so bored :P
ReplyDeleteThinking to get the Skechers GoRun and retire all my support/control shoes. Waiting for the sale to come :)
I totally agree with you on the boring colour scheme. Sigh...
DeleteI'm gonna set aside some $$$ for a GoRun shoes too. Let me know if you know when there is a discount offered. :)
Adidas is also a good brand..
ReplyDeleteI love adidas shoes but the toebox too darn small. I found love with New Balance though.
