Savings…what savings?!

No - don't worry. I didnt buy the pink basketball shoes on the right(lucky for all of you - they don't sell them here! Otherwise I would be wearing the Dadas!). On the weekend I bought myself the ones of the left - a pair of And1 shoes and in the words of Clinto they are ‘fully fully’ man! My old Asics Netburner shoes weren’t cutting it anymore (since they are actually netball shoes!), but they’ve served me well over the last 3-4 years, from climbing up the dangerous bits of the Great Wall of china, to trekking through a rainforest in Fiji, to negotiating the slippery oil coated steps of Chinatown’s Superbowl for post game dinner. And yes they are damn ugly too, plus there’s a hole in the front where my little toe is! So I went to ‘D Playground’ a basketball shop in Parramatta – which makes more sense to me than going to the Nike Factory shop. (although the prices don't!) I couldn’t go past the And1 shoes – partly because I got sucked in coz they only make basketball shoes and they looked the least butch out of the bunch. They also happened to be the most expensive but most comfortable there. I will report back to tell you if I play any better in my new ‘hardcore baller’ shoes...BTW those pink ones are meant to be cutting edge technology with 'spinners' on them (NFI!). One day I will wear pink basketball shoes...mark my words!
