I must have narrow feet, samba and Jeans fit superbly

Jeans do but Sambas kill me, dunno why. Think Hamburgs are the best fitting Adidas I’ve ever had

I'm not well up to speed with retro trainers, but are these Diadora trainers good value on Amazon?

They’re not my go to for retro trainers but they’re nice for £60

Just got a pair of Oslo's, don't usually buy black, unless Samba Super, but they'll look ok for winter.

On the look out for a new track jacket, I’m not a fan of the bomber style collars. Might just get a new beckenbauer

Not them Adidas Barcelona 99 surely?!

45 pairs of these have sold on ebay from a low of £180 to a highest price of £259.99

 

I think if you were prepared to queue up overnight at that shop in Manchester you could buy one pair for £90

 

Not the staggering profit seen on some previous releases but a quick £100 for standing outside  all night is good if you are a bit skint.

You bring it on yourself 

Oi Polloi wanking over them is funny, these are the kind of shit their staff and zealots wouldn't be seen dead wearing normally.

[stevieb 508]

Guy at work got 5 pairs. 

They have done 1999 pairs. That's not that rare when a standard run is 3000 (I think).

I wasn’t lucky in the draw, was only looking at making a few quid anyhow, a sense of satisfaction of charging over the odds to a DMB.    I like my Oslo’s, feel great on my feet

Just picked a pair of Adidas Blackburn up, paid a fair price, £114,  considering what they’re going for on eBay.   Happy with that

Despite the original charity link, why would a bolton lad buy them, or is this a serious woooosh moment / money making ploy?

I’d personally rather go barefoot covered in dog shit than own anything with the word Blackburn on.

Seconded. Its just as bad as wearing any of the Slag's adidas stuff IMO.

[jimmyjoojar 107]

Talking of new purchases well pleased with the new SL80 Spezial.

Picked up on a facebook page, new but tags removed for £90.

They'll be going into warm storage until quite a few a ruined then sold to someone to fund a wanderers game.  I've got morals

[Matt 127]

With all future profit going to nightsafe in Blackburn?

My trust in humanity is saved. 😄

I sold a pair of £70 Adidas London 2007 absolutely battered, pink suede with Jean bleed on the heels for £125 last year to some guy in Sweden. 

Wear em. Some mug will still buy em. 

I went from 35 pairs to 6. Sold all the ones I'd stopped wearing. There's buyers on ebay!

My mate wears his, reckons students prefer used trainers as they’re worn in.  But if some fucker spills beer on them or even scuffs them.

Picked up Malmö last night, still to be convinced they're better than my 2011s but we'll see 

SNS doing some exclusive Sondermalm or something like that, basically green and white Stadt. I'm done for a few months now till the Amsterdam come out, been rinsed this year.
