first of all, understand your run pattern; i.e. do you pronate or supinate? high arch or flat foot? the shoes tech expert will be able to tell you. also, if you are a heavier runner, you need shoes with more cushioning. getting the lightest shoes may actually do you more harm if you weigh on the heavier side.
the brands are secondary, though i agree with most that asics probably make the best range of running shoes. i loved my last asics but i am actually comfortable alternating between my 2 adidas presently.
also, it is important to note that you should buy a shoe that is at least half a size larger than your usual size as the feet will expand due to the heat generated, especially over a course of 42km in humid singapore. good luck!

i would (still) say queensway, but it may help if you call-up the asics disti itself and talk to their technical specialist. sometimes they do sell direct, at good discounts. when i bought my kayano (which has since been stolen), i used that ruse. got a very good discounts. not sure if they do still do it now....

thanks! I shall drop by queensway then..
the GT series? colleague overseas told that the 2130 is fantastic. i am not sure about it.

running marathon and look for shoe? I figure you have not been running much.
There are specialist shoe shop in Penisula and Funan and Marina, but i find Novena is a better option.
try out the shoes shop in Novena Square, most of the shoes shop representative there are equip with answer to your shoe query.
Do remember to tell the sale person you are doing 42km, as most probably you will be recommend to get 1 or 1/2 size bigger.
Bring along a old pair of sneakers along to the shoe shop. Be prepare to do some running on the treadmill while trying out the shoe...so get the proper attire and no heavy food before going up to Novena.
The most popular around is Asics, New Balance and Nike for long distance running.
I assume you are not doing off trail/cold weather(snow) marathon...which require shoe of different type.
Price wise in Singapore is pretty standard...as for discount, you might be getting from 20-50% off the retail depend on what brand and which shops and lobang you can find.

As everyone has said.... go for Asics if you can afford it.
Their shoes are the most expensive of all the brands.... but their running shoes are among the best.
Try going to Queensway or Peninsular Plaza.
Heck, if you really want, visit the Running Lab at either Funan or Velocity.... they can do a professional analysis of your feet and recommend a good pair of shoes for you.
