Buying sports kit in NZ??
Hi all,
We are heading out to NZ in March next year and we are just considering what to take. We are both triathletes and we were wandering if we need to stock up on trainers, shorts etc etc before we go.
I assume that there are specialise running shops etc in Auckland, it being such a sport based country??
We usually bye Suacony, New Balance, Adidas kit are these available?
