Well I must say that I was disappointed when I bought my first pair of Adidas and I could not play like cricket like Sachin or tennis like paes or even look like Anna Kournikova , Heaven Forbid :-).I purchased this shoes cos of thier trendy look and the ad campaigns.These shoes are best I guess for college students and for u know a day out at the amusement park or the morning jog. Definitely not for ur Office!
Anyways I must say that I am a satisfied customer of Adidas shoes. I have 2 pair of Adidas shoes. I bought one 18 months back and the other 12 months back. Both are in pretty good condition. Though the older one;s shoes are a bit jaded. But nothing else, the shoes are fine. My pairs are pretty comfortable now but they took a week to get used to. u know like to get the fit in the shoes. The design of adidas shoes is as usual splendid. All the adidas shoes are good looking and make a statement when u wear them. They are rather expensive though when compared to Reebok and Nike. But they are worth the price. I have owned both nike and reebok , but I have found Adidas the best. I had taken them along to a pair of bandipur forest and they served me well there without any hitches or tears or the likes.
Well if ur the more trendy kind , u can go for K-Swiss or Fila but they cost the earth. Then where is the Adidas showroom!
