they look incredibly similar to barkers, esp the first pair. Wonder who is ripping off who.

They are Barkers, A Farley are a reseller from the looks of their website.

ah i see, fair enough.

Looks like the derby-laced version of the McClean that was doing the rounds on here a few months back;

Anyone successful in reserving Yeezy Boost 350 V2s?

I was on the app, clicked within microseconds of it going live... and didn't get any.

Lucky escape then.

Didn't have a clue what they were, so I Googled...

Yikes! £2000 for trainers? Someone will pay that?

i suppose it's possible he was planning to buy them as an investment......

These were going to be released in larger numbers so the resale was expected to settle around the $800-$1000 mark. I doubt anyone will pay much more.

Not ashamed to say I was doing it purely for speculation purposes. A fool and their money are easily parted.

No idea what beat me, its done pretty professionally through the Adidas app that is designed to eliminate that along with the overnight queuing outside stores.

The 'sneaker' world is a huge market, especially for speculators taking advantage of the huge hype. Plenty of sites / resources out there if you want to get into it and read up.

For all the 'sneaker' fans here I give you the Nike Self-Lacing Sneakers!

New colourways in the Adidas Milano coming at the end of the month, according to @deadstock_utopia. Anyone else tempted?

At the very least we have a brown shoe we'll agree isn't suitable for wearing with a suit.

Tempted!

Good man! I already have two pairs of Milano but will likely end up grabbing one of these, sooner or later. So far only Scotts' has the pre-order option but, pleasingly, they're not the most highly-priced Adidas trainer. £65.

I'm swaying towards the brown, but I don't know if it would see much wear. I do have a pair of the more tan-coloured Hawaii and they've barely seen much activity... but I do fancy them, all the same.

[InductionRoar]

Not a pair of shoes in the strictest sense but they will be in twelve months time.

[g3org3y]

What have you got planned?


I know it would be vulgar to ask how much...

I know, they are utterly disgusting.

Only a PH'er would document and photograph a trip to have bespoke shoes made. Wearing those trousers.

It's the trousers that make it for me. Must have been some kind of bet / dare.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Trabi's blinding wit is once again evident.

If you hate this thread so much, why do you feel compelled to troll it?

Dark brown oxfords with a brogued toecap with a few extra finishing details.

Just spotted these on the SportsDirect site.



Haven't had a pair or retro running shoes for a long time - and they're down to 26 quid a pair. Quite a few retro bargains with SD at the moment, actually.

Was going to ask if his cat died just before going into the shop.

Imagine how miserable he would be if he was going into Brantano!

EDIT: Jokes aside, I would love to go through that bespoke experience IR, so enjoy. Although I guess, it might not be your first time!
