Guess who moved in to Roppongi Hills? Not Nike, not puma… but Adidas! I reckon Adidas now has a pretty huge presence in Roppongi. Count ‘hem. 1. 2. 3 stores! There is the Adidas performance brand, the one with your favourite 3 stripes. There is also the the Taylor-made brand, which should fulfill your every golfing needs and desires. And my personal favourite, Adidas originals with the maple leaf. I don’t really fancy the 3 stripes performance brand. The only 3 stripes I like are those running down me arms when I have me originals jacket on ^^. Hence you only see photos of the originals store. Anyway, I saw 2 cool must-have-but-no-cash-to-get items today. I saw this really cool jacket. The jacket has a bright red-orangey base and blue stripes. The other, was a pair of sneakers. The sneaker had a few cool characteristics.
1) Gone are the “Made in China”, or somewhere else declaration, it proudly declares “Made for Japan”!
2) Some parts of it is made of cotton and get this, it has a tatami inner sole! Wanted to take photos, but I felt kinda shy since I was wearing an Adidas jacket… Maybe more so since I was only intending to snap a shot and not buy anything. I’m easily embarrassed you see ^^.
3) Supposedly designed to care for the environment. There is an ECO fad going on. There was another pair of sneakers made entirely, or at least I was told, or recycled sneakers. There wasn’t any smell at all.
Well, like I said, must-have-but-no-cash-to-get. There’s a morale behind this post. At least attempt to snap a shot of those must-have-but-no-cash-to-get items. If not, there’s always the snap-and-make-a-run-for-it-hoping-that-they-don’t-give-chase maneuver ^^
