Import duty I think. At least 10% and usually you'll have to pay if you import in more than RM500 worth of stuff.

They started chargind around 1 or 2 years ago.

A triple black NMD runner is set to release during May this year, however we are yet to hear an official release date. The shoe is officially titled “Adidas NMD Runner 3ストライプのブランド” with the Japanese text meaning “3 Stripes Brand” in English.

imo the triple black will be ridiculously hard to cop, not to mention first blacked out boost mid sole

But not primeknit right?

Anyway I got myself a pair of tubular doom pk... But there's a problem. It's a good fit but there's this hard toe box area which is really weird and I have to tie the laces quite tightly to prevent my big toe from hitting the edge of the hard knit.

Very disappointed although the shoes are super dope

That's what happened to me and the Tubulars I bought around more than a year ago ... I believe going half a size up would eliminate the problem. If I had done that I probably would have been able to wear them.

I ended up giving away my Tubulars and have not purchased any Adidas shoes on-line since. There are lots of UB deals on-line but I'm holding off until I actually try them in stores.

I wouldn't worry about import duty ... you might have to pay for GST though.

My recent purchase from Hanon around 2 months ago was below RM500 and I didn't have to pay any extra duty/GST.

Have been keeping an eye on the sneaker market over the past 3-4 months and I have to say the reseller culture is super strong these days. Completely different from when I was still into buying/selling about 10 years ago.

Not only have retail prices gone up significantly, but every brand new pair being resold today is past the RM1k mark. Don't get me started on yeezys, lol. They're interesting, and I would have tried to get a pair, but those are essentially the Adidas equivalent of the Nike Roshe (right?) and no one knows if the soles can stand the test of time...

Anyway, couldn't resist to try out a pair of Tubulars - think these are Tubular Radials and 10% off, so why not? They fit true to size, but I've not worn them yet so don't really know how comfortable they are. Someone mentioned they're a pain to have on for long hours, but I guess I'll find out.

Random pair of NBs and he Energy Boost was a RM2 raffle ticket win, lol.

Not just reseller culture, but sneaker culture in general.

Nike SB is dead. Nike AF is dead. Nike Air Max has pretty much gone shitters. Air Jordans, there was never any hype in Malaysia, now folks are buying up new releases, LOL. It seems that the new generation of sneaker enthusiasts really like buying new shoes over previously hard to get pairs.

Just to share some old stuff (some are now sold):
