Hope this helps someone other than me.
Start Fitness in the UK are currently having a weekend special on the relatively new Adidas Adistar Boost running shoes. These retail here in Australia for $220AUD and in the US for $170USD. Worse still is the fact that Adidas are marketing these shoes towards the more 'serious' runner, meaning that they can currently only be found in specialty stores like The Athlete's Foot & Rebel Sport.
The shoes themselves have gathered quite positive reviews from what I've read, and once VAT is removed for orders shipped to Australia and the coupon code 'SAVER10' is applied, the total price comes down to around $151AUD delivered.
Two colours are available on special for men…

See below for Adidas' spiel on the Adistar Boost:-
"Keep every step charged in these high-energy running shoes. Made with a sock-like techfit upper, the men's adistar Boost features the boost midsole for efficient energy return, FORMOTION that adapts to the ground, and TORSION SYSTEM midfoot support. The techfit upper is designed to have a snug performance fit."
Overpriced super-ugly shoes … Tasteless brand… Won't consider unless under $50
