I am waiting to see the rest of Gary Aspdens range see where my money goes!
What do you think so far of the GT Wensley and the Spiritus? Bobby Mac was posting quite a few pictures of his original pair of Spirit (made in Austria) recently - if I had been thinking I might have guessed it would be used for the archival designs. His Yugoslavian Gazelle Super were, too.

Also waiting for the SPZL full line up. Not bothered for the wensley, the spiritus looks decent though. More interested in what clothing and jackets might drop...Anyone any experience with dyeing suede? I really like the shape of the Adidas Jamaicas but I don't like yellow - I was thinking of getting a pair off eBay and giving it a go with a dark colour (navy, for example).
Worth a punt? Or would I just be ruining a pair of trainers that someone else would like?

They did other 'island series' colours! What do you like about the Jamaica's specifically?Worth a punt? Or would I just be ruining a pair of trainers that someone else would like?
Tahiti's are blue. I would send them to a pro, look on instagram their are people who will customise them for you!

The leisure shoe they released today looks interesting, not my sort of think as I don't know when I would wear them, but when i see some on foot pics I may change my mind! Roystinho got any on foot pics of your garwens?
I am only buying one pair and will see what goes to the sales as i spent £90 for my Wensleys and they are not £50.
Does anyone know where I can get these in a UK10/11?

I have the last wensleys they released, everyone I know dislikes them, I'm really happy with them, wont be buying the gt wensleys but think they look great!

Only got 1 garwen on foot, I think they're nicer than the ones shown today...I like the Spiritus not sure on the colourway but will have a look at different pics.

As it happens I picked up the Munchens also, but no beer glass, not 100% how or where people got those from...
Well. The love affair with the Tubular X Primeknit didn't last very long. I had worn these around the house a few times but was saving them for this weekend to wear to a special weekend away. Friday morning, took them out the box, cut the tags off and wore them from my front door about 100 yards to my car. Sat in the car, turned it on and decided there was no way I could wear them all weekend.
Walked home, swapped shoes and just sorting out the return on these. These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn!!
Gutted because I really like them. Thank goodness for Adidas 100 day return policy!!!

Garwens look good just don't know when I would wear them, I have small feet (6.5) as well and think they would look tiny on!

It's not that they are an island series issue, more the fact that I like the profile and the sole of them too. Not overly keen on the Tahiti's.Tahiti's are blue. I would send them to a pro, look on instagram their are people who will customise them for you!
I've been looking into getting them done by someone, if I go ahead with it, I'll post the results up here
Further to my recent post about 'no tie' laces, they have arrived and I have to say I likey!!
The first dilemma was choosing which pair of kicks to try them on so I settled for my Waffles - pics below;

They were a bit tricky to put in but I think they look great - they are silicone with a textured surface to mimic laces. The shoes are a bit looser but actually more comfortable and I have ordered a few more sets.
