Afternoon all, I have a technical question! The past two pairs of Gazelles I've bought, squeak like mad when I wear them, around the tongue area. The only cure I've found is to spray the tongue with Mr Sheen (or similar). Seems a bit odd to me though! I confess I'm old enough that I do actually tie the laces, but still.... Gazelles which I had in the past, a few years ago, didn't do this!

The latest pair are these (although they are a MUCH lighter grey in the flesh - I'm hoping that some suede protector will darken them up a bit):

I'm under the impression the Jordan 5 Raging Bulls re-release tomorrow, but can't find any pairs on all the usual suspect, Hanon/Size/END etc or Sneakers. Any one got any ideas? They're a total grail for me, would be happy to throw an assistance fee if anyone could get a UK13!

Could be US release tomorrow and UK/EU later on.

https://thesolesupplier.co.uk/release-dates/nike/a... - Suggests the 23rd, not sure how accurate these guys are.

I always rated Onitsuka Tiger’s as a driving shoe


Unless I’m going full send in my race suit, then it’s time to break out the Adidas Daytona race boots evil

I’m using my Onitsuka Tigers as my driving shoe whenever I have a manual press car in and they do a great job. I’m a size 11.5/12 so pedal boxes can be a bit tight! Makes heel and toe a bit easier though biggrin



I’d like the Pilotis for press events and whatnot when I need to look a bit more professional.

Use mink oil if you want to darken the suede.

You get some green ones like mine above and she can have some pink ones.

Sorted.

It annoys me that places like Offspring are doing Collection only raffles again. The world revolves around London for releases.

Your not into adidas are you! That world revolves around the Northern cities!

Also you can't be mad at shops choosing to be in locations that make financial sense!
