To be honest, I can't find any others of the same style,

I'm surprised you found any at all.

Those "vintage" shoes arrived today - I quite like them! Very light and comfortable.

Not sure they will replace the Church's for work though.

New Grensons with orange laces installed!

Before you say anything, these were box fresh until the Sunday afternoon.
What a couple hours on a wet pitch can do...(these are Adidas Predator football boots).



Seems I'm stuck with cleaning them myself too. As both my maid and butler are on a day off...

Put them in a pillowcase and machine wash them?

Yes, inside the washing machine (forgot to use a pillowcase). Scrubbed most of the mud off first.

Or just stick them back in your boot bag like that and see what strains of mould you can grow by the following week.

Ahhh, good old PE circa 1991

No, thanks. Would ruin them.

Mind you, they were pretty much dry.

Did you buy these as part of a Christmas panto costume?

A new pair of Durangos.

I should hope so. Who buys second hand pumps with no box?

You didn't steal them with some clothes and a motorcycle did you?

I'm sorry, I don't understand the joke?

Very nice and while I'm all for buying hard to get editions where exactly did you buy them?

A run of 150 usually means you'll be paying upwards of a few hundred for a pair when they surface which is hardly ever as these are now 2 year old dead stock.

If the seller had more than one pair I'd be very suspicious, if they came via EBay more suspicion, I'm not saying they're fakes but a 2012 limited edition would go for a lot more than the average high street price for that trainer type.

This site is mainly Superstar focused but they have a lot of information on fake Adidas shoes and sellers, worth a read if you don't already use it.

No fking way.

That's another footwear/poster (based-on-my-recollection-of-his-posts) combo I wasn't expecting.

go on, what were you expecting?

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Hard to say, and not sure really. Just not that.

Something less cool, perhaps?
