Anyone into trainers/sneakers? (Vol. 3)

Completely forgot about hurache, if memory serves me correctly, they’re super comfortable?

Yes. Though I've actually not worn my 'challenging' colourway ones out since I bought them last year!

They are supremely comfortable.

Have you been to any of the spzl exhibitions? You'd love them!

Like you I like all the little differences and intricacies! The different production centres around the world at varying times seems to be the biggest factor in different styles! Now most of the generic stuff is made in 1 or 2 places!

What's your collection like? What are your favourite styles/models?

Unfortunately, my collection is really nothing special, and I've definitely slowed my buying pace further in the past few years. Weekdays mean steel toecaps (Grisport Chukkas currently), so it really comes down to the weekends and I often find I wear the one pair those two days. This weekend I've been wearing Campus '80s. I like them. The '80s model was a really nice release; it comes in a lift-top box which looks very retro with two pairs of laces and is, most surprisingly of all, leather lined. I admit I don't know if it's real leather, but I said before that the Puma Suede feels far more premium for having such a lining, and it works the same here. Feels like theft knowing I bought them from End for £36.

I must take stock of my collection at some point to give you a more definite answer. As far as favourites go, the Milano remains my all-time favourite. Of those, my favourite release was the petrol green/blue and silver size? exclusive one from, I think, 2013. For an infinitely wearable staple the Stan Smith must get a mention, but I've only owned a single pair of those and I don't ever remember being blown away by the comfort. I am also partial to a Gazelle, but thus far I haven't really bought the same style in multiple colours (Milano and Samba Super notwithstanding). I would've had a burgundy pair of Gazelles if the Campus '80s hadn't cropped up at just the right time and at less than half the price.

Being in Northern Ireland, the SPZL exhibitions have always been out of my way. They're not a million miles away and a cheap flight would probably put me right into the cities they're being held in, but I've just never been. Have you? It looks like there's quite a communal element to the exhibitions because everyone is there for much the same reason. Although I understand the most recent launch had 'influencers' rushed to the front of the queue rather than the familiar faces. For a semi-amusing fact, the only SPZL release I've ever bought were the Samba in the Trainspotting colours (black and slime). I never once wore them. One SPZL release I do regret missing out on was the Warszawa. I don't remember ever loving the colours but I thought the design of the upper was really quite nice.

Lol. Talks about horrible, wears huarache

I'd recommend Vinted if you're not on Facebook specific buying and selling groups. My missus has sold about 40 pairs of trainers on there with absolutely no hassle and loads of clothes as well.

Why is ebay too risky?

You can't sell them on StockX if you've worn them - unless they would pass as deadstock condition. GOAT is another option if you're trying to sell used.

There are also Facebook groups to buy / sell shoes.

Don't suppose anyone has a pair of Footscape?

Any pictures on foot? comfortable?

I think they look like they might make a great summers shoe.

Shock drop on the J4 Military Blue this morning. I was too slow for my size sadly.
