Just seen from my Twitter Size might be coming up with some fresh city series stuff as part of their 20th anniversary this year. I queued up overnight for some of their 2010 anniversary releases in Manchester it was fucking bedlam. Queued in the fucking snow from 4am for the Birmingham release only to get to the front at 9.30am and they'd just sold the last pair. Had counted up the queue when I was there but two cunts were in cars keeping warm and jumped in when they opened. Never again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent over 12 hours for the Manchesters and was still about number 10 in the queue, got the last pair of size 12 but there was a near riot at opening time, hundreds in that line. Sold them a few years later and it paid for a New York trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Hamburg but with velcro straps instead of laces. It's a nah from me. Ruined, just seen the picture. It’s a bloody pity because they are smart bar the straps.

Blondi Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Are these worth bidding on?

Buy to wear but like having ones that are a bit harder to come by so I’m not just wearing the same gazelles etc everyone else in the pub is wearing.

But they all look the fucking same! Is all this shoving of placenames in gold block not just emporor's new clothes syndrome? My lad is a collector of Adidas and reckons the colours used for certain cities mean different things. I reckon it's all just great marketing that changing a shade on the stripes means it's a brand new must-have shoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 As I'm getting older I'm liking the Adidas originals stuff less and less. Dull middle aged man trainers most of them and I'm desperate to avoid that point in my life. May as well buy a regatta fleece and some boot cut wranglers.

Moderators Carlos Posted January 14, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 14, 2020 I think it's the reverse of emperor's new clothes, I wouldn't be seen dead in new trainers (other than SPZL). Currently wearing a fucked in pair of Bermuda from 2016 which I think are one of the last pairs I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
