I&#8217;ve been considering a model called <a href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3613\/3500391703_51b6e82a7c_o.jpg\" rel=\"noflickr\">TerreX<\/a> but was contemplating if it was worth its 3.5k price tag. The Terrex was appealing because its mostly mesh (highly breathable), and it has what they call <em>&#8220;step down construction&#8221;<\/em> which allows you wear the shoes as sandals (by just folding in the back part).<\/p>\n<p>I was already considering getting it even at 3.5k, then I found out about the promo&#8230;<!--more--><!-- \/\/ --><\/p>\n<p>Adidas has this <a href=\"http:\/\/cyppie.multiply.com\/photos\/album\/650\/WANTED_old_shoe_SUPPORT_ADIDAS\">promo<\/a> till the 17th where you can trade in any brand of <strong>sports shoe<\/strong> (Not work shoes, not walking shoes, etc.) and get a considerable discount for the next pair you buy. It can be as much as 1k if you&#8217;re planning to get a shoe worth 3k and above.<\/p>\n<p>So that right there made the Terrex 2.5k (that&#8217;s roughly 30% off) &#8211; which now made it <strong>totally worth it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then as I was ready to get the shoe, I suddenly spotted a newer version of the pair I was [literally] wearing (Darogas) in the color I wanted <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_953_1('footnote_plugin_reference_953_1_3');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_953_1('footnote_plugin_reference_953_1_3');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_953_1_3\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">3 <\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_953_1_3\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Already asked them about it a few months ago but they didn&#8217;t have the color I liked<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_953_1_3').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_953_1_3', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });<\/script> &#8211; so I ended up trading those in as well&#8230; and walking out of the store with the <em>TerreXes<\/em> in the bag, and new <em>Darogas<\/em> on my feet<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the receipt, I was able to get <em>two<\/em> shoes worth 3.5k each for only 5k. Considering you can get a single pair for that much, I say its a pretty damned good deal.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s interesting is that when I heard about the promo, the first thing that came into my mind was <em>&#8220;What if you have one of those GH shoes that go for 400 pesos?&#8221;<\/em> Guess what, someone asked about it, and the staff said that they accept them as well!<\/p>\n<p>So for all you people who want to &#8220;game&#8221; the system, go right ahead, I won&#8217;t judge you. I didn&#8217;t feel bad about giving my original pairs because of all the blessings I have been given recently. But if I had some angst against the system, I&#8217;d definitely trade in used GH pairs instead <em>hahahaha.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Either way, the shoes will be given to the &#8220;Itas&#8221; c\/o the <em>Pamulaan Center for Indigenous People Foundation<\/em> &#8211; so you&#8217;ll still be doing a good deed regardless of how you, <em>aherm,<\/em> &#8220;take advantage&#8221; of this promo \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m excited for the person who&#8217;ll get my [Puma] <em>Nu Mostros<\/em> and Adidas <em>Darogas;<\/em> they&#8217;re still in very good condition &#8211; and the former actually costs more brand new than the shoe I replaced it with <em>hahahaha.<\/em><\/p><div class=\"speaker-mute footnotes_reference_container\"> <div class=\"footnote_container_prepare\"><p><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_label pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_953_1();\">Notes<\/span><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button\" style=\"display: none;\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_953_1();\">[<a id=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_953_1\">+<\/a>]<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div id=\"footnote_references_container_953_1\" style=\"\"><table class=\"footnotes_table footnote-reference-container\"><caption class=\"accessibility\">Notes<\/caption> <tbody> \r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_953_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_953_1_1');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_953_1_1\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8673;<\/span>1<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\">Besides, have you seen their stuff lately?
