Quality of Springblade

<p>I bought a pair of Adidas Springblades on the 21/11/15, only to notice that the sole pulled loose where it's connected. I phoned the store where I bought it from; send a mail, photos etc. Just to get feedback that Adidas say “There is nothing they can do about it”. I paid R2000 for this pair and they last 11 months, that’s ridiculous. You would think that paying that large amount, it would at least last more than 3 years, considering that they are worn occasionally, also bought a Adidas pair July 15 for R1600 and they go through more than the springblades. I bought Nikes 6 years ago and still wear them daily to work and they are not torn. Personally I think Adidas should stop sponsoring the rich and rather focus on the people that actually buy from them. Now I understand why people would rather buy **** springblades by the flea market, which would not be as bad if it torn at 11 months. I will not buy any item from Adidas going forward and would rather support another brand.</p>
