Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

[Ved]

Two pairs of Vapormax 97s on the way to me along with a lovely pair of Adidas Indoor Kreft https://launches.endclothing.com/product/adidas-sp...

Also should have a pair of Jordan 1 bred toes soon as well

Great day in London! Sneakers and stuff opened at 11 with no queues for the nikes or spzl!

RAaaww Phone the London store (sns Shoreditch high street) and I’m sure you could get the vapour max hybrid things!!

Had all the spzl clothing and shoes! Only went for the hoodie, blue one with white detailing! Really pleased with it!

I think I underestimated the popularity of the VaporMax 97s. There's loads on eBay for silly money.

I may quite altogether if I don't get those Jordan 9s tomorrow. I need them that much.

They had all sizes on foot patrol earlier on ....

Hello, sneakerheads, I’m back, with yet an another amateur question...


How do you keep all white Air Force 1s clean? I bought a pair because they look clean and understated while being a looker, and completely classless - pretty much the VW Golf of shoes

The missus got me some all white ones, as “they look better”, and tbh I have to agree. Just wondering whether ScotchGard is enough to keep them looking tip top? I’ve never used it lm shoes before, anyone have any tips to keep them snowy white?

Can you spray the soles?

How do you stop them from creasing? Common problem apparently.

I didn’t buy Crep Protect, doesn’t work on leather, didn’t buy NeverWet or similar superhydrophobic coatings because they turn the leather blue and reduce the shoe to a poor texture (not to mention EXTREMELY expensive), didn’t bother with the others so just bought some 3M Scotchgard waterproof shoe spray.

How many coatings? How long between sprays? How often do you have to coat? Does it actually work? What are your tips?

Cheers in advance

Damn they still have all the sizes...

It's 2 am right now and you have no idea how badly I'm trying to convince myself not to pull the trigger on them.

I’ve tried most stuff in the waterproofing area, I think the sneakers er range is good, however I actually just buy the kiwi rain and stain protector and spray my nice shoes every time I wear them out! It gives a basic level of protection.

To keep them nice you will have to just not wear them in the rain and avoid messy situations! Keep them in the box and wipe them over after every wear, baby wipe or crep protect wipes will do this fine!

Creasing you cannot avoid as far as I am aware!

Try the ScotchGard but do it regularly it’s not a one time application!

Well done Rawwr

[Rawwr]

I needn't have worried, there's still a billion pairs available in all sizes now

[roystinho]

If you’re that bothered about creasing, shoe trees will help, but obviously not eradicate it

[Ved]

Leather creases and is hard to avoid so I’d just clean them up and live with them. To keep the leather in good condition, assuming it’s good quality leather, treat them same as a good pair of leather shoes and occasionally apply shoe cream and keep them in shoe trees. I bought a load from Ikea and they’re great value.

Thanks all

Diadora Borg Elite. Slightly different from what I remember from the originals ( no B.B. signature & the heel is gold rather than white ) but very pleased with them

Anyone manage to grab the Yeezy 700 Wave runners this morning?

Vapormax 97s arrived and very happy with them. Glad I bought two pairs so I can get one that don't have lots of faults on them - always seems to happen with Nike that there's either budges or bad sitting on one shoe.

Here's a link to some pics:

J9s arrived and they're fantastic! Sorry about the fluffy new carpet.
