For some unknown reason(s) to me, SK zharbohs dont mind china brands gotten from TB/ali etc..... Lameda, UKE/Deer etc.
I have never seen this in SG with regards to cycling. Maybe, just maybeeeee once in a blue moon some guys wearing EVR and that's about it.
I mean, ok not say others are discriminating or what...... but i was rather surprised folks asking me about my SAVA bike. Yesterday yet another fella was asking, ok or not i think this is like the 10th time or something liao, and that's only since Apr when i got the bike. I said ok lah.....can.

I upgraded the front and rear brakes tho. TBH, i have never ever seen a JAVA or SAVA roadbike on the road, despite being out there for donkey hours per week.
At least for running you'd have come across stuff CN shoes and stuff like AONIJIE
UKE
BTW some of you can try the cycling socks as well. Most of them are really decent.
Not say compression running socks but some of them are quite high (for aero, cover leg hairs etc) and do provide a bit of compression properties. Some might not like a full blown compression sock during training, for eg. I'd even say they feel better than Lululemon something like that.....
