Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

[roystinho]

£300 for those dreadful FOGs or £90 for these beauts? Mental

Very nice package that.

Thanks mate, super pleased with it. Jake at Grafficks is an absolute legend.

Yep, Jake is a top bloke and a friend of mine. The ship is super cool

£1.5k on some trainers??? I love my trainers but they’re just that. You must be mad, or loaded, or both actually

I would buy from a collector selling some of his shoes, I would not sell from someone who has bought shoes just to make a profit.

I’m in this camp. If someone was selling older bits and pieces that I really wanted I’d be all over it. Not into the flippers though

Nice varied collection above!

I am also looking forward to the sales! SNS have a couple of pairs I want, see if they do the buy 2 get 20% off!

Adidas x size have a colab with a bike firm the shoes look OK I just have no interest in cycling and have never heard of the bike company before! Will give them a miss!

No way!!! I think the concept and execution is class. Colnago is one of THE bike makes to have. I love both pairs and the additional kit is class.

Thought they’d have been right up your street

Both trainers are great. Might be another pair of Kamandas I have to buy!

I would actually have preferred the Trimm Stars but why oh why did they do that to the sole??? It looks like mould all over it. Ruined them for me.

Recycled tyres... kind of know what you mean, but knowing the detail makes them for me

[roystinho]

Like ‘em

Gameface said:

I hate the "mould" on the sole with a passion.

Such a shame. Lovely shoe otherwise.

I know what you mean, and though it’s a bit corny/cliche, that they are (or represent) recycled tyres is part of the theme, so not mad at it. Love the Italian flag, Colnago branding and shiny 3 stripes. Also the D loop holes are metal instead of the plastic for that premium look too

I thought the bespoke programme had closed in London?

[roystinho]

Yep... been sucked in...

joshcowin said:

Lovely, I received my Ultra Tech's today, Danny and Lance where not wrong a really nice trainer, great materials and very comfy!

Nice one. Not actually picked any up myself, just other things around when I go to get bits

Edit - which pair did you get?

[roystinho]

Correct. Only 125 pairs of original pigeon dunks I believe (the grey pair you refer to)

Black pair came out Nov ‘17

Black and white pair out this weekend

What I’m wearing today...

The originals caused a riot. NYC exclusive or something IIRC. Madness.

The soles of the ones this weekend have headlines from the newspapers printed on them

I hated that when I first saw it I thought it just said sneakers over and over, but that's pretty cool. I like a shoe with a bit of a story. Wonder how many pairs for this. I want em to go with my blacks.

a few skate shops are having in store launches for them. So must be a few about.

Yeah, I’m gonna guess at similar amounts to the recent diamond white pair and purple lobsters

Aimed at GF (cos I know you have loads) but anyone really...do you have your trainers displayed or just in a cupboard? Debating storage options currently.

Mine are just stacked up on shelves, above the wardrobes etc in their own boxes. If I had a large enough place with a walk in wardrobe I’d be all over that display case thing with the pop down fronts

Desperately need/want a pair of nike air max 90 off whites that are being released on the 17th January I believe.

Presume these will be raffle only.. anyone know the places that will be having these to enter please

End. You’ve missed the Offspring one now, and yeah I don’t mind the black 90s either. One of the better pairs

[roystinho]

Date changed for OW 90s

bing said:

tbh I'm getting a bit bored of the off-white nike collabs they just same same. The original 10 were nice.

Me too. Just giving out info for those still interested

Where do you guys order your trainers from? Been lurking for a while and love some of the submissions in this thread!

Anywhere and everywhere. Totally depends what trainers you’re after. I have no particular loyalty as such, some places get things that others don’t so just got to roll with it
