Music Guy's pair of platform sneakers are genuine Adidas shoes from Adidas store in Centralworld. I bought them for him in June. Among all the different designs, there are only 3 or 4 designs of platform sneakers and he chose them because they are elevated!
I don't know where the other guys bought their platform sneakers. Copies from MBK? Copies from Vietnam? Or they could be the real deal, courtesy of generous sponsors!
