I'll be really disappointed if it's just yet another release using the same unit as was used for the Brussels, Bern and Malmo from the last year or so. Needs to be a bespoke release, and as you say not quite that colourway either. Had 3 pairs of 08s over time and sold them all but dont really know why because they were ace, all 3 of those 08 City series were spot on. I've heard the 2014s were really uncomfortable, was it the sole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholms easily the best of the lot. I'm a bit gutted I didn't get any of the furry grey Stockholm efforts at the same time. They were on sale rails...

Those grey SNS Stockholm sell for a fortune now, same with some of the multiple London colourways that came out in about 2010. Those "slime" ones and a couple of others were everywhere at the time, now they fetch about £200. Solebox Berlin are the ones I most regret missing out on, top level quality.

Marc505 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Doing a homage to a London colourway that wasnt a proper London colourway in the first place (the slime ones) and that came out barely 10 years ago is annoying. But Size have long since destroyed the appeal of City series shoes having, for the most part, their own unique colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that first got me into the City series in particular was the fact that each city had in most cases its own unique colourway and colours that had some personal link to that city even if it was tenuous. Some of them do use the same shape and sole (eg. London, Dublin, Koln all same unit) but many of them had unique builds too and it really had a feel of them being collectable in a way. Since about 2010 when multiple London colours came out along with a few others, in particular Hamburg which must be available in a million different flavours now, it really felt like the whole thing had been diluted. I say all this and mean it, yet will still get suckered in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mad I work with these guys https://thesolesupplier.co.uk The whole thing about collecting trainers is alien to me, i have two pairs of air force one and it feels excessive But these guys, and their stories of queuing for trainers in London are next level They don't even sell any trainers but do very well for themselves telling people where they can buy them Edited September 27, 2020 by ZicoKelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done my share of all night queuing, 8 till about midnight is a laugh and strangely exciting, the hour or so before store opening is exciting (or infuriating if a van load of scrotes turn up and try to gatecrash) but those dead hours 3, 4, 5am when the city goes completely quiet are truly desolate. Didnt even get my size the last time I did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They basically said they queue all night in London, and about 5 mins before opening gangsters/top boys turn up, and the security staff know better than to stop them pushing in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
