Revenge of Spartan

This is in response to my previous post about Havaianas slippers.

While I may seem to be someone with colonial mentality, I also recognize the fact that Philippines has its very own version of a durable slipper in the ‘person’ of Spartans. Compared to Havaianas' expensive price which range from Php 800 to Php 1300, these slippers can be bought for as low as Php 20!

Okay, it may not be as fashionable and as design-filled like Havaianas, but these slippers are perfect for those going to the markets. Surely you don’t want to cross your expensive brand on the wet streets of Cogon Market, right?

So what can Spartan say to Havaianas?
