I would prefer to choose Adidas because it is the most
popular shoes around and I think wearing it will greatly
enhance my prestige. I believe that the shoes are of the
highest quality and definitely it is worth buying.
Normally, it would cost me more than RM50. However,
with the shoes on offer, it is reasonably priced. I would
consider buying a pair for my sports practice as I would
get a free pair of socks. The MM Shoe Store near my
house is having a sale. I would have the chance to
choose the colour I want. It would be nice if a few of my
friends wear the same brand of shoes for our sports
practice.
