I used to buy a new pair of New Balance every year, average cost around $ 60. Then I switched to Nikes.
Last year I was snorting around in Central Festival (Patts) and saw this new shoe store.... BAOJI (Thai brand). Paid 1,000 baht for them. Holding up just as well as the Nikes.
Next pair of shoes I get will be some kind of water resistant trainer hybred for riding on the wet days.
