Our last day itinerary was to hopefully buy Drex, a pair of sneakers from Sneakers Street at Mong kok, Kowloon, Hongkong. Like any other teen ager, wants to have the best pair of basketball shoes. It is located at Fa Yuen Street, the heart of Kowloon.
1. This is where youth like him who loves to play basketball go to get LATEST DESIGNS and LIMITED-EDITION RELEASES. The main shoes were sketches, sneakers, trainers and basketball shoes. The popular shoe brands include Nike, Adidas, Sketchers, Puma, Reebok, New-Balance and K-Swiss.
So, if you wanna impress friends you got either one, Sneakers Street is your key to your secret.

No wonder, Isaiah really wanted to go there.
We started shopping for the sneakers. The prices seemed to be the same as that of the shoes in the malls back home. Drex and his father, my brother, just had an agreement after checking out like 5 stores. That is to buy the shoes back home. He didn't seemed to be happy about it but Drex knows how to obey his dad without complain. Such a good kid!

HOW IT LOOKS LIKE:
The place was so crowded. It reminds me of Divisoria back home. A lot of busy stores and busy people roam around.
PLACES NEARBY: You won't worry of getting hungry because there are a lot of places to eat nearby. If you wish Chinese, just go south of Dundas and Soy St.
Picking your choice is easy. You just have to know what you want.
It's a busy street with a lot of stores and management. Either you want fast or resto, you can have it.
We chose to eat at Pizza Hut after. It was fab. We loved their pitcher of juices. In fact, we took some back to the hotel using our empty bottled water.
Close nearby too are:
Ladies Market
Goldfish Market
Langham Place Shopping Mall
Flower Market
Royal Plaza Hotel
Langham Place Hotel
3. HYPE. Can you imagine the adrenalin rush in the middle of the busy street? People are too busy with their own thing. But not too busy to litter. Just make sure to mind your belongings. Better be safe than sorry.
We felt that hyped. Even with my menstrual cramps, I was still on-the-go. hahaha.
The kids were still up and walking well. Not until dinner time. hahaha.
Well, what are you waiting for? Get that latest sneakers easy and get hyped!
