Pai seh ah, but where can I read more (objective information) about these China brands running shoes? Am still very much using Jap / US brands, but seems like more n more find these China brands to be of good price and quality.

@xllms is more knowledgeable with the various brands here. I only know Qiaodan and Bmai are value for money.
for me I get my updates from the Singapore QiaoDan runners on facebook. the admin there will periodically update new info from his weibo.

I read there are fakes Qiaodan. So best if to get from Tmall's Qiaodan Flagship store for peace of mind.

in china now plenty of fakes that look exactly the same, they probably just use different material to do the midsole.
cost of making a pair of shoes is really nothing once the molds are there.

If want to add on other brands like ANta, Li Ning or Xstep, with all the various modesl, I also blur. So I just stick to monitor Qiaodan models, which are the Performance shoes (Feiying PB 3/4, Plaids 1.5) , Trainers ( 强风 Series).
Flagship store,

I also keep in touch with Bmai for this model only, because, on sales, go to low rmb469.

I was at the actual retail stores, so they were authentic.


I didn't buy any in the end because I remembered I still have 5 fairly new ASICS and hokas. Lol.

i was in xiamen in 2019, went into an authorised Nike shop, 2 storeys high, plenty of nike shoes, apparels, etc. Bought a pair of Nike Epic React Flyknit with a colorway cannot find on western online. Wore for 3-4yrs until midsole can feel the floor. Till now don't know if its authentic, but feel authentic. lol

The western food closed on Mondays (and sundays)

Would recommend this Bowl Story to any fella passing by on the Rail Corridor.
Pretty good, nearly local restaurant quality.
I had the Curry Katsu don. They also have Donburi.
5.50 + 20c take away
Portion is normal, big eaters might want to add rice. For the price is quite decent for value.

Think will go dabao this on Thur again. Tomorrow eat Wow Wow West western

Tempting, but KIV first. coz still hoping to catch a VP fly 3 for a good deal before SCSM 2024.

Took it a bit slow this long run, really warm. It was 36 deg C heat index when i started, maybe even higher coz on PCN asphalt around MB areas. And i only took with me 2 x 250ml 100 plus and non ice-slushied and no other active cooling.

 

[WussRedXLi]

One more thing, i realised that above 15/16km runs i had better eat some gummies or something at 5k, 10k, 15k something like that. I cut short the run as i was feeling like no energy like that.......17k i felt it already and slowed quite a bit, slower than 5.00 pace. I wanted to gun for like 18k, 19k and if possible maybe 20. But no point coz of the warm weather also, so cut short.

The 2 x 250ml 100 plus and normal dinner just now i think is insufficient fuel in addition to my glycogen in my liver/muscles.

I super noob in these longer runs. Now i know.


Just finished 100g of somen and 1 can of sardines, dang hungry and just want to whack something into my system.
