Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

Yeah.

Their sweatshirts/T-shirts are decent. I don't like the lairier designs though or the ones with squiggly writing.

Their puffer jackets are good value too.

I've got the element reflective silver one. Lots of people have asked me about that when I've worn it. Dunno if it snapped knicker elastic though!

Yep the coats are by far the best items on the site, the parkas look good for £100

I don't tend to spend a lot on clothes tbh, the clothes I like seem to be fairly reasonably priced.

I'm the same. I tend to splash out on key items like trousers, jumpers and coats. Socks and boxers I get from Primark and I tend to buy t shirts when they're on sale at New Look. I've got a couple Carhartt t shirts but they all seem to break around the collar which is annoying.

I buy the expensive gym gear though so it probably all balances out!

You don't wear Gym King do you? I can't stand that ste. So many tossers wear it.

I just bought boxers and socks from Tesco. I'm classy like that.

Mostly Nike Pro & the compression stuff.

Just looked at Gym King and it looks pants.

More Pre Loves.

Old school style with up to date comfort. Really like these.

Womans colourway so hard to get in size 9 but I got them from Spain in the end.

These are awesome mate.

+1 They are lovely! Where could one get some (or similar with the big swoosh) in a UK10 if at all?

If anyone who's not interested in these wants to enter on my behalf in size 9, you will be richly rewarded for your trouble.

My favourite one they've done.

Will do.

Socks and boxers get stocked up at xmas for me usually, or when my missus goes to a specific shop in Sweden that sells a few brands on the cheap that you can't get cheap elsewhere.

Nearly all my tees and polos are Paul & Shark, which is my favourite brand. Jeans usually Armani, Edwin, Levi's or Nudie. I like Moncler for jackets but have sold my last 2 after wearing them once (not like that orange monstrosity lol), other than them I've got a few Stone Island field jackets, the micro reps one they did was great so I bought 2 in case I fk the first one up.

My gym stuff is all from sports direct, including my 30quid adidas trainers, so it probably all balances out lol

[Gameface]

Yeah, I know a few of them.

[TheJimi]

I suspected that to be the case

[Ian82]

Game face, nothing other than the order confirmation email. I emailed customer care for an update so will let you know how that goes.

The O/W will be a huge disappointment I am sure but if your not in Probably better odds doing the lotto

[Gameface]

I've emailed them too.

For anyone else after a pair of Kendrick Lamar Cortez there's some still available here

I really do not like the Nike Cortez. When I was about 13 I really wanted a pair of Nikes that were about £150-160. We were shopping with my mum and nan for new school supplies and it came time to buy some trainers. My nan said ‘which ones do you want?’ and I pointed to the £150 Nike’s and my mum turned around and said ‘nope, can’t have those, too expensive.’

My Nan and Mum then had an argument about what shoes I was allowed and eventually my mum picked up a pair of Nike Cortez which were on sale at £25 and said he can have these. They were black leather with a white/silver swoosh, they were ugly, uncomfortable and stupid in my 13 year old eyes!

Sucked because I’d wanted the Nikes for ages but we couldn’t afford them, my nan (loaded) was then quite prepared to buy me the shoes but my mum wouldn’t let her.

Stupid. I'll never look at the Cortez and like it, cos they're stupid.

[Gameface]

That's not the fault of the Cortez!!

Cortez nylon are properly comfortable.

[ashleyman]

Can I get opinions on this situation please? I don't think I'm being stupid but these people think I am.

So, I've agreed to sell my Beluga 2,0 Yeezy's to a guy who buys and resells shoes.

The buyer has asked to use Brandon Taylor as a middle man. The buyer has sent Brandon the money and I'm expected to send the shoes to the buyer. When the buyer receives the shoes and confirms they're authentic and he's keeping them, the money gets released to me. A little bit like an escrow.

It seems like I have no protection (insurance) in this situation. If the buyer determines the shoes to be fake (which they are not) how do I guarantee I'll get back what I posted and that he won't switch them out?

They're both saying that Brandon is protection for the both of us, which I would agree with but only if the shoes were being sent to him.

Brandon Taylor seems like the real deal, he's got a website, a good reputation and he's been interviewed by High Snobiety. The buyer is also saying he has a good reputation and buys a lot of shoes with Brandon.

Am I being thick here?

Seems odd to me. I'm on a few Facebook groups (mainly clothes) and if you're known it's a straight PayPal friends and family transfer, or you get a few vouches off of lads you've done deals with before. I'd never send anything before the cash was with me, if the buyer is nervous he can just pay the PayPal 4% goods charge.

[roystinho]

I have heard of a Brandon Taylor, but what’s to say it’s THE Brandon Taylor??? I’m always weary of this type of thing. Why doesn’t he just use PayPal g&s, you can easily protect yourself too...
