Finally some practical shoes after ....hmm...not keeping count. But I'm already eyeing on some new Pumas.

The Adidas SL 72 was first released in 1972 for the Munich Olympics Games. Yes, the summer when some Israelis got killed. Munich was a great movie as well. I watched and reviewed it. Read the book too, George Jonas' Vengeance . Munich, the album by The Editors was equally brilliant. Something about 1972...Nike was born. So did Ocean Pacific.

Anyway, SL stands for Super Light. Which the shoes was back in 1972 as it is now, given a modern rehash.

Got it from the born again adidas promo now ongoing. Got a $30 discount instead of $50 because I wasn't too keen on the Bounce technology. Only Bounce shoes were entitled $50 discounts. Just head on down to a participating adidas store (I'm dead certain the one in Vivocity is), pick up a new pair from a range that is on promo, tell the salesperson you are looking to throw away your old pair, get the discount and dump your old sports shoes into the bin located in the store. The bin found in the adidas shop at Vivocity is about a third way to the brim. I think the promo's on till 7 Sep.
