Hi guys

Has anyone found Asics runners (2110's and Kayanos) anywhere cheaper than the Asics stores? They are approx 130,000W there.

Thanks very much

If you go to Emart or its equivalent they'll have shoe sections. Each section is different, but you may find what you're looking for.

If you're a size 10 or more, though, you're likely limited to the brand's store.

Hi there

Emart was actually more expensive than the stand-alone Asics stores!

Thanks for the reply though

Have you checked ABC Mart?

Hahaha. I totally entered this thread expecting the title to be a sarcastic reference to people making midnight runs.

You might want to try Gmarket (www.gmarket.co.kr). Just type in "asics" in the search section and it'll pull up a bunch of items. It may have what you're looking for. Maybe get a Korean friend to order the item. Just a suggestion:)

I go to the Asics store in Cheonho. They always seem to have a sale on. The shoes I buy are 108,000 won (discounted from 130,000 won). GT-2120 style I think.

They are definitely cheaper than the E-Mart in Cheonho anyway.

Gave up, got them at Asics. You'd think they'd be cheaper here, being so much closer to China (where they're manufactured).
