Think with running shoes, best to try them on first, paolo. Got myself some adidas tennis shoes from m and m direct, pretty cheap, though probably last years model but who cares. Not sure about size 14 though.

Saw this in NY and thought of you, so took a pic. Should have bought it, may look online:

Collection dwindled when moving

Collected way before this current crop

Proud never to have had jordans

Never had Jordans either. Shame about your collection and good stuff about the book. Think I will buy it.

Is Canada an expensive country in general? (not just for people having currency woes like yourself).we are forever being told over here that Canada is great for public services, and I wonder if the trade off is a higher cost of living?

Buy Cheap Buy Twice. Crack out the cash you tight fucker. When it comes to footwear it doesn't do to skimp. Unless it's for fashion, then sure buy some cheap shit. But when it comes to running, don't fuck about. Your toes, arch and heel will thank you. This post is sponsored by Mo.Farah.com. :butthead:

Yes, yes I get all that. But there are 'trainers' for fashion and 'trainers' for running. In terms of fashion you can never go wrong with a pair of Addidas Samba. In terms of running, I got a nice pair of Adidas from Mike Ashley's joint for under 40squid. I loathe myself for shopping there, but the little teenage minimum wage girls really get me going ... so it's worth the emotional price.

The best trainers are worn by those economic migrants making their way across 26 countries to the UK .
If you can get a few close-ups of their feet during a charity appeal you may spot the brands. They also have the best smartphones too.

i am lot's of things, but a sneaker freak pre-interwebz is a label i can cope with

sadly, what i like and consider cool is never remade

i cleared out footlocker in approx 03/04 of original re-issue airmax, going shop to shop including holland

all went on ebay

they were on sale at 30 quid and 30 euros, must have bought several hundred pairs as was a guaranteed 30 quid priofit minimum, plus running up the bids on ebay

some usa editions, some shima editions

but remakes never had that true magic, deadstock was the way

still got some stuff over here, g villas, zx600, 500, gl6000 nb worthy etc, once had several pairs of air burst eminem, long since sold but should have held
