Hey, these are so cool. The color is soo fruity. I love the sneakers. But I guess one cant match these sneakers with every kind of color. I have a pink one and have to wear it accordingly. Thats the biggest drawback of colored accessories.

It had to be orange, the summer spring collection have one thing in common they are all a splash of colours, this one in tangerine is particularly fancy actually, will have limited pairin value but if you pair it right man are they gonna look hot or wht?

Ya you are right Somya. But girls like me(who do not experiment much) would be a bit perplexed to match this color with some other. I mean I do not exactly fancy the color orange on my feet. I would rather wear a t-shirt or kurti. Ofcourse, the color is in sync with the season!

Fitness equipment nowadays is getting more garish than ever. I’m talking about the colors which are a real eyesore. And to watch people strutting around in these as they go about jogging or exercising it something that really pisses me off no end.

I can understand traffic police, miners and construction workers wearing these to ensure visibility, but why do joggers need fitness kits with such garish, bright colours? It really beats me. Canary yellows, bright oranges, florescent greens.,.,phew

@Jayaprashanth

It’s only one design that’s flashy - the one in orange. And since these shoes are unisex, I’m sure Reebok had launched the bright ones with the women factored in. And you are generalizing your opinion when you say ’Fitness equipment nowadays is getting more garish than ever’. Garish equipment are exceptions - one in a 100 designs. Since the women in this forum love these, I guess we should opt for a different model.

@Alpheus
Certainly, I am generalizing. I’m not talking about Reebok in particular but about the plethora of brands that make fitness shoes, clothes and the like. AFAIK , shoes stores, at least in Bangalore, are carrying more shoes and accessories in ”catchy” colors which certainly appear too garish for my liking. BTW the 1 in 100 is a little too overstated. I suggest, you better come to Bangalore and check out shoe stores for a better picture about the ”proportion of garishness”.

You have a lot of colorful people out there in Bangalore Jay :) And If I’m right, brands like Reebok, Adidas and Nike showcase the same models in all cities. If you’re talking about designer shoes, I guess they are meant to be garish. I wouldn’t be surprised if you tell me the proportion pertains to designer or unbranded shoes. That again is subject to the place you live in, right?

@alpheus
Certainly we are a colourful lot but we just can’t stand garishness. BTW, you definitely need to come down and check out Bangalore’s shoe stores. Now you are generalizing. Showrooms needn’t always stock the same models of shoes across the country. I am talking about a broad range of fitness shoes and accessories which also include Reebok, Nike and even a few other brands and some designer stuff. On the whole, the proportion of garishness has increased, and this is my very own opinion which needn’t be endorsed by everybody.

Precisely, since it’s your opinion, you shouldn’t be saying ’fitness equipment......more garish than ever’. Instead, you can say ’fitness equipment in Blore ....more garish than ever’. Don’t you think this would sound more appropriate? BTW I lived in Bangalore for 2 years.

@Alpheus
Okie for your reading pleasure.,.,here I go..,Fitness equipment in Bangalore is a little too garish, for my ”liking”!

You lived in Bangalore? When? maybe sometime in the past. I’m talking about nowadays which means the previous six months or a year.

Sweet of you Jay :)...Yea, you are right. I was in Bangalore till May 2007. I guess things have changed a lot.

@alpheus
Oh yes, you’re right, since we’re talking about fashion that’s here today, gone tomorrow. Hope this garish fad remains a fad that’s shortlived.

Gosh you guys had your own discussion board. Like I said, I cannot accept the loud orange color. Makes me go blind. And yes, fitness shoes need to have that sober tinge, according to me. No offense meant!

Aren’t you contradicting yourself Mayuri? Check your first comment ’The color is soo fruity. I love the sneakers’. And now you say ’fitness shoes need to have that sober tinge’. Boy! fashion is not ’here today, gone tomorrow’, but ’here now, gone the next hour’, especially for women. I know now why men end up being so fashion-ignorant.

Men will be men ;)

Ohh I guess I must have misled the readers by my comments. I now strictly comment that I love the color but adorning something of this color on my feet would be disastrous. I am not much into experimenting. The purple one is good.
