Anyone into trainers/sneakers? (Vol. 2)

[Sheetmaself]

I know it’s not trainer related, but I also know that some of us collect different things.

Yesterday I turned 40 and as such I used it as an opportunity to add to my watch collection.

With this



This



This



And a Casio Casino Royale.

This bring the collection to this



This



A Bell&Ross Milatary Green Ceramic which is sat in a watch winder as it squeeks when you hand wind it which is apparently a £800 repair!

And a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore “Bumblebee” which is Currently in a house I no longer own, and I believe lost forever

Anyway hope no one minds this post being here, if you want it removed let me know but I have found this thread to be for more than just trainers but as a bolt hole for those of us who have a passion/sickness for certain things!!

What's the story on the AP? Surely it was insured?

[Sheetmaself]

Insurance doesn’t cover an angry Ex wife who bought it for me years ago so believes it to be hers unfortunately.

These represent quite a few firsts for me.

First raffle entry and win (albeit someone else won them for me)

First pair of this style of Adidas and first pair of Spezial.

Got these incoming.
Unsure as to what makes them womens shoes...? But for under £30 with discount, worth a punt

Have they arrived yet? My feet are too big for Women’s shoes, but I’m aware that sizing can change for larger sizes - i.e. Woman’s 8.5 can be smaller than men’s 8.5.

Sorry, meant to reply to this.

Essentially, for limited release trainers, there are raffle / ballot systems in place. You need to enter the raffle to "win" the opportunity to buy the trainers.

I needed to get the fans down from the loft yesterday, ideal time to pick out a couple of summer pairs.. I only wish I’d stuffed them with paper before hiding away a while back, everything’s got a bit squished




I found the white/green Cortez I was looking for, so that lot can stay boxed - roasting up there!

White for me also. Good luck keeping the icy soles icy though. You could always throw a pair of black laces on if you fancy a change as no doubt you’ll have a pair knocking about from other pairs of trainers.

Speaking of the Diors, I’ve just entered for both Highs and Lows.
