bits and pieces

it wasn't a particularly long life that mr Adidas T-mac 3.5 led. it was in fact a startling short existence as the ballin kicks for a certain under-tall, overweight forward wannabe. throughout the 3-4 months that it was around, it wasn't exactly a spectacular-performin pair either.

i've always eschewed the swoosh for the 3 stripes despite it being generally betta stuff most of the time, on grounds that adidas has proven to be more durable, while not laggin too far behind on the performance front.
im just a playground hoopster; i'd live with lesser cushioning if it could last that month longer.

T-mac 3.5 proved to be a major disappointment. its two predecessors were way betta. worn a bloody hole right thru the outsole in 3.5 months, and all it did was made me stick colorful plasters that i'd filched frm my sis and ma on my toes due to the skinning the toebox provided. garnered a few comments of acting cute.

im gonna revert back to the swoosh for a while now, since both aren't that durable anyway. im being a tad biased here, cos while its 80% of nike's hoops shoes that die prematurely, its only 1 out of like 5 adidases that share the same fate, but let me vent a little will ya?

for all of their R&D, cant they come up with a durable rubber compound for the outsole? or maybe its all a ploy to make us poor NSmen to cough up cash for a new pair every few months or so.

im gonna cough up blood anytime now. pui.
