adidas was in spartan numbers, as it was pretty expensive, back then. the rom cost 140 pesos, and the viena, 125 pesos, if you could find it. superstar and stan smith were a kingly 360 pesos, but only if you went to the px in pampanga, or you had an insider in clark or subic.
when adidas hurricane arrived, it cost a princely 89 bucks. but we still bought them, in lieu of converse. mas madali kasi matuyo (nylon!), and it was an adidas.
