I've been able to tie my own shoelaces since I was a child.

Well done. What do you want, a chocolate watch?

Don't be sad, if we all liked/valued the same thing the world would be very boring!

And they’d sell out straight away and you’d never win them!

So what do we think to these.







In my mind horrendous attempt at profiteering and not close enough to the original.

Wish I waited for this colour way, bought the ones that were released last week.

Did anyone get the nike fear of god moccasins and received them yet? Want to know if i should get them for summer trainers.
I have them;
Not sure if im a fan of them or not, i like the design/execution but;
I have flat feet so can feel the arch support
Theres no real way to lock your feet down in them and so your heel rises up as you walk, the cover across is held down by velcro and the side has a popper. The elastic tie is mainly for looks it seems.

I guess if you wore thick socks then it could lock your foot in more or maybe your not meant to be locked in and its meant to be like a deck/driving shoe and im just not stylish enough to have worn many shoes like that

Not sure if ill keep them/send them back/offer to anyone on here for RRP plus Postage - UK Size 11

Someone dyed a pair of ROTY’s, I think they look a lot better than the TS’s.

Much prefer the raids over the moccasins.

Not sure why more people arent into customising trainers as its fairly easy to do

No prob's, looks like ill end up keeping them as splashed some paint on the box. So if anyone is after them for RRP plus postage, let me know

Trainer socks as in the ones you pull up high past the achilles tendon?

Edit - looking at pics on the net, looks like the elastic is meant to be used and not decorative so might just need to give it more of a pull

Maybe not called trainer socks then i meant the low rise style that only just go up your ankle. Ie would be invisible with these shoes on but hopefully stop the stench of my sweaty feet!

Missed this post earlier.

Thanks for the offer but I've probably already got it.

I've had a few Panerai's down the years.

The orange/blue Regatta will probably be the next one.

Next pair for me... I don’t wear highs and I don’t wear Jordans. But I love SB so think I’m gonna spread my wings a little. Then just need to find someone to wear them away

Nail polish remover/acetone will scuff em up as I'm assuming it's just one paint over another
