Nike 5 Zoom T-7: My New Baby

 

This is an inspiring story of an obsession of a young man that’s finally his possession.

WARNING: Very nais shoes ahead! And they’re poisonous. :P

 

 

After admiring it for many months, I’ve finally decided to grab it home even though it doesn’t come cheap.

The first time I got to know the Nike 5 T-series was last year when the Al-Ikhsan promoter introduced the Nike 5 Zoom T-5 to me. But I was too poor a kid to afford a two hundred over sneakers.

Then I discovered T-7. The highest grade of all of T-series and costs a bomb.

I instantly fell in love with it. The design, the colour, the materials – T-7 became an instant obsession of mine. Thus, I embarked on a journey of searching for T-5 and T-7.

I checked with Nike retail and other sports stores in KL but all are out of stock. When asked whether more were to come, they were puzzled themselves. In Malacca – the famous Mahkota Parade and Dataran Pahlawan, I searched, but to no avail as well.

Maybe there’s none left in Malaysia, I thought, but in Australia T-7 might be residing. I asked for a friend’s help who was coming back from Perth. She did me a favour and went searching for my dream shoes at the Nike Factory Outlet of Harbour Town, Perth.

But yet, the search ended in vain. I was about to give up and settle with Adidas Sala before forummer mentioned about T-7’s new colour model that had just been released. He even took a picture of it.

I couldn’t wait no more. Went to Sunway Pyramid the night before I flew back to my hometown just to test the T-7. Looked, touched, smelled, felt, wore, tested, tried, satisfied. I just couldn’t wait to own it, even if it costs a bomb.

Even it costs a military jet engine. Or maybe two. Oh well, like I care.

At that very moment, I couldn’t imagine not owning it.

The next afternoon, my dream came true. I put on my spanking full kangaroo leather made futsal sneakers at the court – proudly, arrogantly, delightfully. I felt as though I was the proudest man alive.

Every touch was brilliant; ball control was almost perfect – mainly because its owner isn’t =P

Most will tell you it’s crazy to kick balls using such an expensive shoes. Yeah, I think so too. I must be crazy. Totally.

These freaks got me obsessed to a point where there’s no U-turn. I think they call it a dead-end. Lol. Nike really did their job well to poison innocent kids like me.

For the money I’ve paid, I expect this pair of sneakers to last longer than a year. To maximise its durability, I shall only wear them in the futsal courts instead of wearing them everywhere, with an exception for the coming Chinese New Year.

 

Because I’m so broke now I can’t possibly get another pair of shoes for CNY.
