Anyone into trainers/sneakers? (Vol. 2)
Discussion
Obvs I’ve got close links with size? What I will say is it’s not that easy for the staff to get the shoes, and for those that can grab something there’s maybe a small percentage that flip them... not right by a long shot, but it’s hardly a massive scale back door thing that people claim...
On the fact they have the access, well we all like to have perks at work if we can... I get free train travel, worth more than a pair of trainers... if you worked at a car dealers you’d get friends and family discount on cars etc... I’m not mad at the odd staff member getting a pair tbh

I completely agree with this! Don't think its as bad as it is made out to be! As you say perks in every job, not that retail has that many perks so good on Size if they give staff a few pairs or a discount!On the fact they have the access, well we all like to have perks at work if we can...

I guess the people with direct input on a project would get a few pairs each, and rightly so.

I've received an order confirmation from Hanon for the Smoke Grey J1s, but the draw hasn't closed yet? 
Not sure if I should be happy at my first W on Hanon or wondering if something has bugged...
You've got them nice one! Hanon do things a bit different and a fair bit earlier than other places, part of the reason they are always my preferred choice.Not sure if I should be happy at my first W on Hanon or wondering if something has bugged...

Would be great to see your j5’s
Here you go bud;
Not completely perfect as i screwed up a few times, but ive got 4 potential orders for similar (2 from real friends, i know shockingly i do have friends and 2 from some American dudes), but i want to wear these first to see the longevity of the paint and how it looks when worn.
Next up is red over gold metallic J1 lows, then need to find a shoe for Black Cherry (red over met black but ill be doing a dark met silver). I meant to be doing some more for Westy but his missus wont let him out to play
My piss poor write up/build thread can be found here with some more pics covering the stages/f

Liking those a lot!!! Will check your build thread. They look too good to wear. Keep them in a display box
thanks. Unfortunately i wore and creased/cracked the paint in some areas (walked about 3 miles in them) but it needs to be done so in future, it won't. So I guess its a prototype. I'll add the j1 lows to that build thread once done.
If you've got any questions on how to custom, post up in that thread and I'll try and help if I can

It was indeed.. I think there would be something in it, no idea on the what’s or when’s of stock coming through, no bots, no camping outside stores. Pipe dreams though!
Thought it was! I've got his Clyde's in the cupboard! Were you on crooked tongues back in the day? I was on there for years (same user name), loved that forum until they relaunched and killed it. Got the opportunity for a free pair of these (or a sprintbooster for my car, don't ask long boring story), how are they thought of, pimp or overrated? They look really comfy
