So it’s time for me to buy a new sneaker. I haven’t bought a new one for the last 3 years so I guess it’s time for me to give my old sneaker a break.

I’ve been looking around for while, window shopping on the net and let my fingers to the searching. So far, I’m down to 3. I’m going for either an Asics sneakers, the Nike lunar glide, or this Nike Shox Turbo 10.

Asics Gel

From Asics’ line up, what I like the most is this black Asics Gel. I like the contours and design and it will blend well with all my jeans. You’ll never really go wrong with a neutral color like black. Plus, even if it’s dirty and you haven’t cleaned it up for a while, you can get away with it ‘coz it’s black.

Nike Shox Turbo

Next is the Nike shox turbo. So for this one, I really like the shock absorbers. Others don’t like it but for me I really like it. I suppose a big company like Nike has invested a lot in research and development to come up with those shocks. I know it’s been years since its out in the market but I haven’t really got the chance to buy one for myself.

Nike Lunar Glide

Lastly, the Nike Lunar Glide. I’m quite intrigued by their slogan “It’s actually rocket science”. The 1st time it went out in the market, I was tempted to buy this one. But the logical mind of mine told me that I don’t need it. These marketers really did a great job of making you buy one by using clever marketing tricks to wet your “appetite”.

Check this play of words “Boasting ultra-light, ultra-strong Flywire and the next generation of LunarLite system technology, the men’s LunarGlide+ combines a soft core within a firmer carrier to achieve a previously unattainable blend of cushioning and response from heel to toe. ” Now who doesn’t want that.

Words such as ultra, light, strong, next generation, technology are really powerful selling words.
