G'day all,

Where in this city, and I have been here for a year. Can I find trainers that are normal?

And by normal I mean not localised styles. I have looked for Adidas Jerez and Titans but can't find them anywhere. I have seen them in Japan and Thailand and on the net in England and the US.

If billions of the worlds shoes are made here, why can't I buy them?

Cheers

They're not made in HK. Adidas likes to control their products so they aren't sold freely. I just bought myself a pair of Nike Shox Bombers from the US in size 13.5. Sometimes it's worthwhile ordering from overseas to get the latest styles

For the same reason I can't find a selection of Nike Dunk Los in the UK - they're not "normal" for that market. If you're talking fashion sneakers like the Jerez type the reason why you can't find them is because no one wants to buy them. Oh and I have never had a pair of shoes that were made in HK

China and HK aren't quite the same thing. I'm a citizen of HK, but I need a visa to go to the mainland...
