Clothing in South East Asia

For the average visiting firang, South East Asian fashion is a multi-faceted plethora of cheap, knock off designer labels; last seasons Ralph Lauren shirts, inexpensive Diesel jeans and well-tailored, but none the less cheap, business suits. An excuse to stock up on fake designer labels at market prices.

But delving a little deeper into the clothing that is designed and manufactured in South East Asia, reveals there is a lot more to the fashion there than the assumed backwards approach of copying European and American brands.

Backwards indeed is Sretsis, not however in its rich and luxurious textiles and cutting edge design, but instead in its name. Sretsis is sisters spelt backwards, and this luxury Thai brand is the epitome of cool, both Pan-Asian and Worldwide.

Where To Find Nice Tennis Shoes

Where to find quality Tennis shoes
The sport of tennis has surely been growing over the years with big names such as Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, Venus and Serena Williams, just to name a few. With the growth of the sport comes more merchandising of the sport and people wanting to play. Tennis shoes have been growing in quality and scope along with the growth of tennis in general. There are some people who say all types of sneakers are tennis shoes. Well not all sneakers are good for tennis let me tell you. So this article will be about places to find a great pair of actual sneakers specifically for the sport of tennis.
In my opinion the best place to buy tennis shoes are online. You have a large selection on the internet and can browse stores very quickly from the comfort of your own home. Not to mention you don’t have to waste time and gas driving around to different stores shopping. It’s also going to be a lot easier to compare prices online from a large amount of stores as opposed to only maybe a handful if you get in your car and drive to them. So in my opinion, shopping for tennis shoes on the internet is clearly the best idea.
If you do decide to go to an actual store to buy tennis shoes, make sure it’s a sporting goods store. The staff at a sporting goods store is more likely to be more knowledgeable about tennis shoes than at a standard shoe store. Not to mention they’ll probably have in stock most of the shoe sizes you’ll probably be looking for. You may not have as large of a selection with this option as you do with shopping online, but most of the time you can still get a pretty good pair of shoes.
Last but not least is buying tennis shoes from a normal shoe store. Such as Foot Locker or other standard shoe stores. They’ll probably know what a basketball shoe is, but if you ask for a tennis shoe, they may be clueless. These stores as less specialized for sporting shoes. While you very well may find tennis shoes there the selection probably won’t be as large. So this should be your last resort to shopping online or going to a sporting goods store. The latter option will more than likely always yield better shoe finding results.
So in conclusion if you really want to find a pair of quality tennis shoes, the way to go is online or sporting goods stores. I personally wouldn’t recommend normal shoes stores. So I hope this article was of some help to people and good luck finding a great pair of shoes for the great sport of tennis.
