nice! It's interesting that they have velcro. Those are a bit unusual in America. Normally velcro shoes are used for children who don't know how to tie their shoes, but I've seen then recently on adult sizes too. I guess it's a good back up ^_^

This shoes is made by Asics.
These shoes are made by Asics.


You are using the word "shoes" in the plural form to mean two separate items. To use the word "shoes" as a singular you would have to denote that you are speaking about them as a collective noun, "This pair of shoes is made by Asics."


Asics shoes isn't more cool(cooler?) than NIKE ones, but they are very functionable and reasonable.

I think that treating yourself is a very reasonable and justified way to spend your share of the stimulus plan. Personally I think that the shoes look very nice, much cooler than some of the Nike shoes I see people wearing. My favorite part is the contrast of colors on the black and yellow strip near the top.

(You don't have to write Nike in all capitalized letters, it is only used this way on the actual logo. When writing it is just like any other proper noun, capitalize the first letter. It is the same thing with "Asics" on the logo from your first picture we can see that it is in all lowercase letters but it writing we still capitalize the 'A')

Thanks for the corrections!
Oh, I think so too. The shoes with velcro are useful to protect our foot. It's important for all sports.

Hi!
I sometimes play basketball at the university. But I'm not good. xD
I play with my friends in the team of my faculty the internal league of my university in autumn and winter.
The last time I played was in March but the next week we have a tournament in the university.
I'd like to play more but I haven't got enough time...
