Quick straw poll.
Been chatting to a bloke who does some work for me on occasion who is into trainers.
Got talking about hi tops and we disagreed on the following question:-
What is the better shoe? Air Force 1 or Jordan 1.
Thoughts?

Jordan 1s are the best though

If anyones in London Slam city in Covent Garden and Dray Walk has pandas in store apparently
Yeah they were doing a random putting pairs out. Also took an L on SNEAKRS, and though gutted, not too bad. They’re not the best dunk to release of recent times. The purple lobster and diamond pairs are better I think (without trying to be sour about it)joshcowin said:
Anyone know anything about upcoming Adidas releases? ZX 10000 or city series?
I have been looking but cant find anything! Think I will limit what I buy this year, got 35+ pairs now a good base to add slowly too!
Adidas seem to have gone futuristic on the new Lxcon trainer and the super court's are terrible.
Brussels rumoured 2nd Feb... might do a video befor the release... might do a giveaway I have been looking but cant find anything! Think I will limit what I buy this year, got 35+ pairs now a good base to add slowly too!

Been quiet the last few days Danny! Hope all is OKJust a heads up there are some zx 420 quote O'toole's on a facebook group in a 7.5, knew you were chasing some limited stuff this year!
I like the aqua/teal Air Max2 lights that came out, and I don’t mind the nite joggers either. But again, not enough to buy. Took an L on the pigeons annoyingly, had a pair sorted until someone decided to resell them... but they were more a collection piece to fit in, I didn’t think they were an absolute must have due to the boring upper.
Pretty sure the Brussels will be coming for a giveaway as loads of followers are all over them, but there’s a slight thing with the sole tooling for me... I’d rather have the koln/Dublin sole on them, but maybe I’m just being picky?
Would love some Quotooles, I think a 7.5 would be a bit too snug though. I tend to be an 8 in Adidas unless it’s a weird size - thanks for the heads up though

Love the brussels, yep the dublin sole would look good, will wait and see in hand pics of how light the gum sole is!
I must admit I have not got round to signing up on the Patron thing yet. TBH I hate signing up to loads of stuff on the net that requires cards, I don't have paypal for this reason! How is it going? getting plenty of patrons? Think its a decent idea BTW
The Patreon is literally because we constantly get DM’d about making more videos. However, as we don’t get any freebies we can’t just carry on buying stuff just for videos, so we thought this would be a decent idea and then give them away.

Get on youtube and watch the annexe, its Danny (roystinho) and his mates youtube channel. Its great!!
They have thought of a way everyone pays a minimal amount to fund trainer purchases to create more content, they then give the trainers away.
Josh pretty much summed it up. It’s $2.50/month to support the channel. And in return we fire a pair of trainers every month to one lucky person... basically the money we get from people supporting funds the pair of kicks.They have thought of a way everyone pays a minimal amount to fund trainer purchases to create more content, they then give the trainers away.
As above, it’s becasue we are constantly being asked to do more so it’s just a way to make it a bit more financially viable, plus it’s a bit of fun for everyone
Edit - we do the draw first, then buy the trainers so they’re the correct size

Have you thought of other ways of achieving your goal?
Im not asking for figures, but if you make money off of putting the videos on youtube you could offer trainers at a discount. As long as this can be done in a manner where it doesn’t tie you in to having to get the trainer, as we all now they do sell out and if your not being given them by retailers you only stand the same chance we do.
This could be a dynamic discount so you can weigh up the videos value vs the cost.
I presume everyone would still be able to see the videos if you went the Patreon route, the Patreon gets you into the draw. Would this give you issues with being classed as gambling? I believe normally you need a game of skill to negate this, obviously this could be trainer related.
We started monetising in around July, youtube has just paid us our first cheque of £75... so that shows you how much you get back off them.Im not asking for figures, but if you make money off of putting the videos on youtube you could offer trainers at a discount.

It’s not classed as gambling as you are supporting us making content. We just give the trainers away at the end of the video to one of our followers... we’ve had to say you get extra content being part of patreon by becoming an Instagram close friend, and then we choose one of our ‘close friends’ to win. It’s a technicality, but I know what you mean.

What giveaways you got coming up?
As time passes are they going to be whatever is released around the time?
How often do you envisage doing a giveaway?
Every month. We’ve done a deal with size? to get something that a lot of people will want towards the start of every month. And if work schedules allow and size? get their stock in we’ll do early looks at the trainers - we’ve dine it before a couple of times when they’ve asked us to film a video for themAs time passes are they going to be whatever is released around the time?

As this is a motoring forum, these racing AF1 look OK, not my thing but would be cool to own.

Pinrolls on *point* man!
You really need to do a how-to video. Yours are easily the neatest I've seen.
As did what I'm wearing - just my kickabouts - a pair of Merrell Valley Mid.
They are my footwear equivalent of Macaroni Cheese
Ha!!! If I remember and I’ve got some time this week I’ll do a ‘how to’ video. Basically it depends on the jeans and the trainers as to how I do it ... hard to explain written downYou really need to do a how-to video. Yours are easily the neatest I've seen.
