LOL. These are just without boxes anymore. There a few of them still having their original box not shown here. There's the Pre Covid NB Beacon 1 and 3 , Adidas Boston 9 still in rotation.

You can't bear to throw them away right?

I threw quite a few here and there and also sold on carousel if mileage is 200-300km

confirm you win

just curious... not stink meh?
all my current rotation put on open rack cos will be soaking wet every single run. then will identify and wash when family members complain of foul smell

Have smell, but not much. All shoes will be sun dried before going into the cupboard. The soaking wet ones will be washed and sun dried.

Used to donate the old ones to the stadium. But they have stopped the programme after the scandal that the donated shoes ended up in some shops in Indonesia.
Also old liao, hoarding tendency. LOL.

Another review on the 小鯰. If whatever he says is true, it is definitely a keeper and completes my full range of China brands running shoes rotation.
@ 17:25
“…the Megablast is one of the best examples big brands overcharging for technology which aren’t that expensive to produce, aliphatic TPU. Lot of information out there right now, but this is on the scale of half price of PEBA to produce.”

 

[sph777]

don't know what kind of shoes you will like and your feet pronation tendencies. Can consider the following:
特步xtep 2000km
李宁lining 赤兔8pro
361 eleos
乔丹qiaodan 强风3TR

@xllms how is eleos compared to xiao nian? Very tempted to try xiao nian though I alr have so many shoes LOL

wish i can help you but i have not tried the eleos but reviews on eleos have been quite positive and xiaonian is still on its way lol
i remember someone in here has a pair of eleos, perhaps he can share his thoughts.

Gonna see a lot of white shoes on the road already hahaha.

With more and more western content creators getting their hands on the shoe and making review videos for it thus introducing the shoes to a wider global audience, can expect demand to be far greater than supply soon. Just check Dynafish taobao shop link and now i am getting an error saying cant be shipped to my region(aka shipping address). Not sure if its isolated issue on my account or Taobao/Seller set this limitation to curb sales to countries outside of China.

Size 42, 44, 45 back in stock if you are interested. Faster go check.

Starting next week, I expect to see more people wearing XN white shoes.

Do you have Cainiao app?

This is a forwarding service by Alibaba. They will give you a China address and auto link to your Taobao account.

The shipping cost to SG is the same as Taobao.

Need to change your shipping address to the given China address during checkout.

Running shoes don't need rush to buy one la. Not like it's some limited sneakers. When got demand,they sure up their production to earn.

I got another forwarder which i used previously. There is another 3rd party seller for the XiaoNian which still can ship directly to Singapore. For now i just wait and see becuz i aiming for the red/white colorway.

If going by on-line reviews of xiao nian, it's won't be anything like the eleos. The eleos I have is more of a conventional max cushion shoes like NB 1080 or foam x more. I used it for recovery runs at short distance. Upper is too plush and warm for long distance.
Xiao nian (from reviews) is more of a super trainer. You do your marathon pace and long distances in them instead of your racing shoes. Upper should be also like the plated racing shoes, breathable.

 

[winningeleven]

On my recent trip to Japan . Overall it is a good place to get elite running shoes

Saw alphafly 3 on Nike outlet for 23999 yen (white ) and 25999 (orange)

Asics metaspeed sky / edge Tokyo (27000 yen)

For not so serious runner who want a cheap and good deal
NB rebel v4 . Less than 9000 yen
1080 v13 at NB outlet . 15000 yen

The only exception is Saucony endorphin elite 2 . 39000 yen. Not sure why Saucony is not easily available there but still can find Only sg sell cheaper ( Lazada less than $280)

Yes, I also use eleos more as recovery shoes. Looks like XN is more of a do-it all, which I have enough shoes haha. Now, still have bmai 3, endorphin pro 3, vf3 that I use for more everyday speed work
