I bought and sent back a pair of adidas London the other week. They were toooo light. Didn't feel like they had any level of longevity in them

I got a pair of 4/20 campus instead and very happy with them. I had no idea what I was buying and my nephew and friend explained all afterwards!

I'm debating getting the Jordan 4 Sulfur.

I'm usually very decisive but can't make my mind up on them.

They're in women's sizing, not sure what size your foot is?

We also have the Industrial / military blue coming out soon if you're after a 4 and it's more appealing to you.

In my younger days I'd always tuck the laces but for the last 10 years or so I've just rocked the bunny ears. Each to their won though, no ears does look clean but it's a lot of work to pretend the laces arent tied.

The only style I've ever really seen that I thought looked good is the "Kaws" style of lacing Yeezys. As Yeezys don't really need the laces anyway it makes sense but it was far too much work and I've never bothered trying it.

I'm a 9 so I can get them despite being womens sizes.

Time for a new pair of these. I always have a pair in rotation. Absolute classics.

The Nike olympic skateboarding shoe they just previewed for Paris 2024 is pretty coo. I'll likely pick up a pair of those.

I don’t find the handballs to be as comfortable as the samba. But I was in uk the other week and now understand what the summer of samba was all about. Seemed every other person had white with black striped sambas, even couple wearing matching shoes.

That's an incredible collection, I see it also includes a collection of cars as well. Some exceptional taste on show here.

I'm assuming the sizing is all US.

Got a pair of these thanks to the poster who linked the new Spezials on Hip Store recently:



Sorry to go back to laces ... but how would thread experts lace these? They have holes in the tongue which I've not seen before.

I would personally lace them as per the pic but comping ‘out’ on that last hole and then back ‘in’ the top one.

this will hold them without needing to tie, and also imo originals laced all the way up are only ok if you have sparrows ankles

2 pairs incoming!

One is pair of the bauhause pack end did a while ago, I've got 2 of the 3 now so will try and get the 3rd pair at some point (yellow bermudas to get)

The other is a pair of Samoa, I love the shape of the Samoa it really suits my little feet smile and they look great with shorts! Really hope they are good quality, the suede Samoa is always a nicer shoe than a leather one imo.
