Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

[roystinho]

Anyone got some adidas pureboost? I think they're really underrated

How can a shoe be underrated out of interest?

Because all the ones that are completely hyped sell out in seconds online (things like Ultraboost, NMDs and Yeezy), these are of the same ilk but for some reason people don't go crazy for them.

Doesn't bother me really, I like them so just means they're easier to buy

I don't but my missus has three pairs and says they're the comfiest trainers she's ever owned. But she also says that about her various Nike Free, so I've taken it with a pinch of salt. Speaking of which, forgot to upload these the other day, nice pair for the summer.

Another good video, keep it up!

Just going off your last comments on the vid, if you cannot meet up how about taking a closer look at a specific pair of trainers, you could do this separately and make the videos of both of you the main event!

This is of course presuming you have the time and/or inclination!

One of the reasons we think it works is more the laugh we have between ourselves. Loads of boring youtubers just do a review and we didn't want to do that.

We do have a few potential projects in the pipeline which may mean we do separate videos, but then it would be a 'back to the studio' to chat about it.

Thanks for the feedback though, really appreciate it

Another one going out tonight though as another pair of trainers turned up today

[ROSSinHD]

a week or so ago something Adidas was released Triple Black that sold out on the web. Was it the NMD R1?

EDITED never mind think it was the ultra boost.

Yep, Triple Black ultraboosts sold out in a blink of an eye

Yet another video too. Had another pair of trainers arrive today so thought we'd do a quick one

Just bought a pair of Adidas Moskva GTX from a Belgian website "fresh'. Will take pics if and when they arrive.

Air Max 1 atmos release tomorrow... one I've been waiting for but not getting my hopes up

[Bungleaio]

I like the AM1 but I don't like the atmos version. I'm thinking of getting a pair made through the custom programme, I've been playing around with options and I quite like these http://store.nike.com/gb/en_gb/product/air-max-1-i...

[Meridius]

Theres a new Air Max 1 Premium on Nike ID with some nice leather options, very tempted on a pair while they actually have some decent materials on offer.

[Bungleaio]

I've already got a pair of the standard issue premiums that came out before Christmas

I would ideally like some Max BW but they don't seem to do them very often and they aren't on the ID programme sadly.

[roystinho]

Some of the Air Max 1s on Nike I'd are really nice, had a scan through them the other day. Might put one together in the near future, but moving house in the next few months so gonna have to kick the habit for a bit

I want these shoes badly ha ha. Living on an Island with only a small JD that gets generic stuff in and a Schuch which is crap I have no chance of getting anything remotly good like this locally.

I have entered the usual ballots but to much back dooring to friends etc makes them pretty pointless.

My last resort is a facebook status with a bounty just on the off chance a friend somewhere in the world can grab a pair which again is slim to none. Happy to pay £200 for these but I reckon they will be £400 resell which is bonkers. I have loved these since the OG release. The problem with my facebook status is the wife now knows I am mad and willing to pay this much for trainers.

I do not get these limited releases they seem to penalise the genuine sneaker heads and serve the resellers.

I know this sounds really tttish to say, but I feel the resellers were/are genuine sneaker heads but if someone is waving a ridiculous wad of cash under your nose it makes it hard to resist. Not quite the same thing but I recently bought two Moncler jackets from Flannels for £400 that were worth just under £2k combined and I flogged one for £550 as it got me the other jacket for free and a bit of profit.

Court appearance trainers

Repeat offender .





The Nike do wiff a bit, liberal use of dye presumably?

[ROSSinHD]

How did you get on with the Atmos roystinho any luck?

[Bungleaio]

I entered but didn't get selected. They probably knew I wasn't really into them.
