 |
|
Aside from having problems find my size (110 is a tight fit most of the time and only a few places outside Itaewon offer larger sizes than that), there doesn't seem to be much selection in the places I go, which is usually the brand stores, like Adidas and Nike...
I'm not a brand *beep*, but I'm not sure where else to go. I'd like compression gear from companies like Skins or Canterbury, and a wider range of clothing from the major brands. Underarmor would also be a plus if anyone knows where that is.
I'm pretty happy to order online for a long of things, so if anyone knows a good online store (or even better, a real store with reasonable non-ripoff prices) for athletic clothing, please let me know.
Cheers. |

order from stateside. Have family ship. Should still be way cheaper than anything you get here, not even taking into account fashion and size preferences/requirements much less availability.
I haven't bought a single item of clothing/shoes here in over 2 years. |

Well, after shipping, Canadian taxes and hassling friends, it just seems a better idea to order myself and deal directly with the retailer.
Ideally I'd like to find a store where I can try stuff on.
Anyone know a place? |

Took this from the rugby thread....

They do Canterbury but looks like it's all padded. Worth having a look in the store since your in Seoul already. |

Will check it out, thanks. Anyone else know a place that sells more cross-training oriented stuff? |

Check out http://www.superfeaturing.com/
They're a Korean brand based in Changwon. I ordered from them and they shipped quickly (2 days, with free wrist bands 서비스).
I ordered the cheapest compression top and bottom and it was 30,000 total. They fit well and seem to be western sized. The tops in particular are nice and long.
Also the pictures on their site are hilarious. I wonder if their male model posed like that naturally or if they had to instruct him to look more fabulous. |

So you liked the stuff? Thanks for the link.
The model is ridiculous.... though I'm sure they asked him to pose the way. No more hilarious than the average day at a Korean gym watching the guys roll up their gym-issued shirt sleeves for an unashamed flex session of their 12-inch arms in the mirror, striking facial poses which no doubt inspired the model of the superfeaturing clothes. |
