[Gameface]

Bloody hell, have a look at eBay seller Drinky*

Staggering prices.

Yeah i looked but wasnt going to post as its annoyed me and yes i should know better as it always happens.

I dont know what the answer is but i just dont think the raffle system works. I can pretty much guaruntee that i wont get them by entering one raffle. But if i enter two then immediately i know i wont be keeping both so i am reducing supply.

Maybe what i suggested for the nintendo switch would be the best way where everyone enters the raffle via the manufacturer, and it is one entry per delivery address. If successful you then pick the retailer you want to buy from or it is picked automatically for you.

Cant see why this cant be done as generally they all charge the same anyway.

I think i would pay up to £200-250 for these but that doesnt look possible at least not at the moment.

I know the guy personally. Very stubborn guy. Won’t nudge on prices that much. Comes across some amazing pairs tho!

One of the many reasons I quit collecting! Filled with stupid little kids with too much time and parents money. They’ve taken the fun out of collecting!

Not just individuals doing though;

That really annoys me. It's either an under-the-counter transaction with a retailer or spammed raffles. I'd guess the former as he conveniently has one in each popular size.

And people are asking 4x that?! Jesus that's worse than Adidas resellers! Even the properly rare Stone Island stuff wouldn't usually go for more than double in my experience.

Manchester Showers have arrived. They look stunning in the flesh. They are a bit tight and wish the 9.5 was available.

I kinda wish that they would follow Nikes sizing of trainers as a UK 9 for Adidas is a US 9.5, whereas a Nike UK 9 is a US 10.

Nice. I'm very fond of my Prides.

[fizzwheel]

Picked up these last weekend.

Ever since i saw those blue addidas I-5923 posted a while back a couple of weeks ago on sale it's been on my mind. I've no idea why. I'm not a sneaker head but I kind of like the look of them and I don't really need any new stuff at the moment. the sale price kind of also appeals as I wouldn't normally spend £90 on a shoe.

are they comfy?
if they're really comfy then maybe ill give them a go as I wouldn't mind just a regular comfy shoe for walking around in and possibly to use cardio equipment at the gym. Having said that I already own a basic pair of adidas duramo trainers from afew years back that I use for thism my comfiest shoe being a converse chuck II's.

If you think chuck 2's are comfortable then by God most other trainers will be a revelation
