Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

[bing]

Ok guys so Footpatrol in Soho have the React 87s, I just went there on the off chance to see what they looked like and ended up buying the Orange and white ones, they were the last 7s so I got them, will decide over the w/e if they're staying or not.

The lacing system for the Vapormax's is just a single piece elastic lace with locking system. You can get them on ebay for a couple of quid in a variety of colours. Just search for triathlete laces

If you dont fancy locking them like the pic, you can make a knot in one end, thread the lace to suit your desired pattern then knot the top and job done. Cut off excess lace and burn the end to stop it fraying.

Great idea! Thanks!

Do we have a date for those olive React 55's yet?

Not yet.

They may have the other colours in a 7, I'd try and pop by after work if I was you and see what they have.

[garylythgoe]

I will do exactly that, ta.

Dude, do what someone told me to do and phone them and ask if they'll hold them for you until after work.

Finally got some proper pics of my sons prestos I made for him, not 100% perfect but ok for a first go.

Absolutely brilliant!

Proper little dude.

Yeah that’s class

As for next purchases... StockX now in the UK so might save up and get a few things I missed out on over the last few years (paying resell, I know...)

Also these look nice

The only problem with StockX is that it’s all US based. So if you sell a pair in the UK to a UK buyer you have to send the shoes to StockX in the USA, they authenticate and then send back to the UK Buyer.

I’d guess because everything is coming from USA you’ll also risk customs charges.

Not just US based anymore
"StockX, which describes itself as “the world’s first stock market for high-demand consumer goods such as sneakers, streetwear, watches and designer handbags,” is expanding to the UK and Europe."

Oh. I’m a bit behind the curve on that.
Excellent news as I always ignored it because of customs risks.

Likewise... there’s a few pairs on there, now converted to £ and no import duties etc...

What do we think about these?

Must say I really like the look of these:

[Todd Bonzalez]

Think I might stick my huxtable dunks on with stockx and see how I get on as a little test.

[couzens]

Creps and cats.

Unsure on these however, could be because they're a bit different from the norm in terms of material.

[bing]

Still undecided love the colour way tho

[Levin]

I'm waiting for reviews on the München when people start getting them. Seeing as they're a general release I can wait. Here's hoping they're not total crap; I have a pair of Trimm-Trab and while I enjoy the look they're not very comfortable.

Do Adidas Bermuda come up small? I vaguely recall someone saying that they do.
