Anyone into trainers/sneakers? (Vol. 2)

Nah, not my bag. I dislike brands that people buy just to show they're wearing that brand - Supreme is one of 'em, imo.

Kudos to the guys that started Supreme though - it's a masterclass in marketing and the creation of "hype" products. Supreme are one of the few brands that could (and do!) put they name on anything and folk will fall over themselves to buy it.

Edit: Sorry, that turned into a mini-rant

I agree. Paint it red stick some text on it and boom hype product.

The resale on supreme stuff can be crazy. yet not all on products. its really odd.

Those TN2 that I ordered were a case of never meet your heroes / try to recapture your youth! They’ve gone straight back and, as I got them from Offspring, I’ve had to pay to return them

Anyone try for the supreme dunks ?

Tried for them, if only to see what the hype behind a product of theirs is. Managed to cart and get as far as entering card details before I got an out of stock notification on the next page. Weirdly their website is set up like something back from the early 00's and navigating on phone was a nightmare! Not massively concerned I missed out as still have to pay for the Uni Blue 1's this month and got my eye on the cream yeezy's as well, so a fair outgoing on trainers already for March!

To be fair, it brought about the urgency in trying to get a pair that I can remember from earlier, rather than the endless "Sorry you lost" e-mail notifications from raffles.

Entered the SNKRS draw for the dunks this morning. No notification that I got an L, no W either, no money taken, no email from Nike. All very odd.

I had that recently as well. Back to normal the draw after though, straight up L and an email to rub it in!

I don't get the Supreme thing. But then I guess I'm not their target audience

Trying to get these through the size?launches app. Has anyone used it and had any luck?

I was lucky. I sort of want them and sort of don't - I was just trying my luck with the Size app and didn't expect to get them.

Amazing trainer these! Such great materials! So pleased I got them!



Excuse the orange socks

[RC1807]

Socks suit the trainers, so I don't see a need for them to be excused.

[TheJimi]

Thought the same myself.

Socks are all good, Joshua!

[Levin]

I'm with everyone else, that's excellent coordination and is to be commended.

Yeh I've got them as well. Glad I did.

[Nuisance]

[joshcowin]

Have you worn them? I want to treat them with something but don't want to mark the waxy leather! Any tips, did you put anything on them to protect them?

Did you look at the photo and think "darn, put my foot in it!"

[TinyMonster]

If anyone doesn't want the J1 Uni Blues tomorrow and wouldn't mind helping me get a pair, I'm a UK9

[RC1807]

Anyone seen the latest Asics / Commes des Garçons sneakers?
Saw some advertised at €242 earlier, and now I googled them, saw them elsewhere for €160. That's quite a difference in price!

[TinyMonster]

I did not win the J1 University Blues. This makes me a sad panda.

[TheJimi]

Ditto.

I'm not too annoyed though. I fancied them but wasn't head over heels with them either.

I have, the gits cut the back of my ankle. My Oslo's did that as well.
