Behold... the adidas TUNIT F50.8!

As I was returning home from cousin Shahmi's house having confirmed and concluded the deal for our lil weekend getaway to Malaysia next month, I spotted a sign on an anonymous shop's glass panel saying ''adidas Shoes for $60!"'

Now that's cheap for some adidas shoes, however I was quite satisfied with the shoes I had and wasn't planning to buy any. Besides, I wasn't really expecting much because for that price, I was maybe expecting some old/unpopular models up for clearance sale.

However to my utter shock, there spread on against the door panel was a collection of adidas shoes and football boots which range from the expected low-end range to the top-of-the-line models! AND ALL GOING FOR A UNIFORM PRICE OF $60 BUCKS!!! Inclusive of kids sizes, bottom-end models, and the high-end ones. NUTTERS!

Amongst the models sold are mid-range adidas Telstar boots, the low-end Absolados, and also the high-end adiPures, Predators and TUNITS!!!

I was really torn between the Predators and TUNITS because I've owned a mid-range Predator Manic before and really loved it, but my game is based on dribbling and speed so I need a pair of really light boots which the TUNITS provide. In the end, I picked up the last pair of size 8.5 TUNITS, shelled out $60 bucks, and I was on Cloud 9...

Immediately I made calls to my fellow TKH bros, and they couldn't believe their ears that I just bought $60 bucks for a pair of original TUNITS, when the retail price is approximately $300! I can't remember ever getting so excited about retail therapy. 3 of them came down that same day, and Aizad and Khairul both bought a pair of adidas Predator PowerSwerves...

Talk about window-shopping. Literally! =)

    Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?

    Can someone help me find it?

    Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.

    Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.

    Thanks
