One two, buckle my shoe...

Howdy dudes and dudettes! Been a long time since I've updated this blog, I know, so here's a special issue on my shopping spree! I spent an entire Saturday with my sporty (and sporting) girl cousin Hikmah hunting for new boots to wear... multiple has been the times TKH has had a game and I couldn't join 'cos my boots dah nazhak and were simply unplayable. Spent a bucketload of bucks on my new footwear too, such that I totally blew away my savings and my buffer amount in the bank is dangerously low. So off I went to Peninsula to hunt for the cheapest bargains for the boots that I wanted to replace my Old Faithful, the Nike Mercurial Talarias which I bought approximately 2 years ago. I decided that if Carrie Bradshaw could have her Manolo Blahniks, I could have my Mercurial Vapors too. And adidas. At least I need them. The pictures below are the current shoes I'm using, taken when they were freshly-purchased but they're gettin worn out fast. With holes! O_O










And THESE, ladies and gentlemen, are the replacement footwear which I deem worthy to replace my worn out Nike Total 90's and Mercurial Vapor Talaria's. The adidas +F10s are still being used though. I hereby introduce thee to my new Nike Steam II FG Sport Red/Gold/Black and Nike Mercurial Veloci Turf Orange Peel/Obsidian/White to replace my worn-out and holey Nike Total 90 and beloved Chrome/Blue Nike Mercurial Talaria. Why so many boots, and what's the difference you ask? Well the red ones are proper football boots for playing on the field, and the orange ones are specialized turf shoes for...well, AstroTurf pitches. Flashy and flamboyant colours I know, but I AM admittedly a flashy and flamboyant player. After all, you can only be young once...




















Hole-y Cow! Even reinforced stitching didn't help
Ole Faithful
As you can see, I wear out my boots fast
My Complete Collection... plus Ole Faithful

Don't ask. This was my mom's idea.
My first time ;)
