Did quite abit of window-shopping recently due to the recent post-festive sales island-wide, and then just last week Nike had this island-wide sales promo going on at all official Nike outlets, so I decided to try my luck. And I was lucky enough to spot this stylish pair of Nike Air Force 1 Mid Premium (Houndstooth/Dark Oak) at The Heeren’s Nike outlet so I decided to go for it since I needed a new pair of sneakers badly. Turned out that they didn’t had the size (my usual shoe size is US10.5) that I wanted, so I panicked. Then I asked when does the sales offer end, and they told me that day (new year eve) was actually the last day of the promo offer, since it was intended to be a Christmas sale. (!) So without hesitation I asked them to help me check the other outlets for stock of my shoe size, and in the end they called and told me the Plaza Sing branch has a US size 10 left only for the Air Force 1s that I wanted and also the only last pair left in their shop. Without further ado, I immediately went down PS with both Syahmi and Brandon since we were out together that day. Went to the Nike outlet and tried out the dunks, turned out that US size 10 was actually pretty fine for me, so I decided to settled for it. Bought it for 159.70, instead of 177.50 due to 10% discount. A quick check on this site revealed that this pair of Air Force 1 Mid Premium was selling for abt 12600yen in Japan, which actually isn’t quite far off from the streetprice here locally too. So I think I didn’t get ripped off in any way. (^ ^)V

I did another check online here which also revealed that this particular model was launched sometime in Oct 2005, and is dubbed the “Euro” Air Force 1 special edition. The material consists of a mix of canvas plus premium leather, which is pretty good in my opinion though when it comes to rainy days or ‘wet’ conditions, I’m not so sure whether it’s gonna be advisable to wear them out, so I think I’d probably settle for a cheap pair of canvas sneakers to alternate btw this to prolong the lifespan of it. Then again my pair of Air Jordans IX lasted me for a good 3 years, so yea I think basically most Nike sneakers are pretty durable afterall.

Ok that’s about it, I’m off to bed now. Gotta attend Lynn’s chalet and BBQ later at Costa Sands Resort and then in the evening gonna meet up with Jimmy (seizure) for dinner, freaking long day ahead. Ok oyasumi minna, monsieur aaron out.
