Why pay that much, these beauties retail at a mere £10 (Asda)...

 

How much must they be paying the poor sod who makes them, about 12p an hour?

Aye, shit pay in poor conditions.

 

Like most people who make mass produced footwear, clothing, workwear, school uniforms etc..

I see the title of that pic is crappa, can anyone explain why the likes of Ellesse and Kappa have made a come back?

 

They were shitty brands in the 90's worn by scutters why have they become popular?

 

 

I had some Ellesse trainers, I can remember wearing them at Wembley for the Reading Play-Off Final, they were the white leather ones with the half-moon Ellesse 'medal' on the laces - I didn't think I was a scutter at the time...

 

It was a period of experimentation with brands, I tried Nike (again), Ellesse, Reebok (a fetching beige and chocolate pair) and Mizuno...I went to back to adidas in the end though - they all seemed to fall to bits more quickly than adidas...

 

Why are they popular again? Twenty year rule? People have forgot how crap they were (or weren't even born last time round)?

It was a bit of an assumption that the greater the cost, the better the pay and conditions, for all I know Asda may source their stuff from (relatively) good (to workers) factories and suppliers etc. - they may take a dive on their profits to do this...

 

I did hear from someone involved in the fashion industry once that some handbag firm or other had some of their stuff produced in atrocious conditions and for little more than a tenner apiece - they went on to flog the item for (several?) hundred quid...She was definitely in the fashion industry as I thought she was French on first appearance (it was in a club).

Jamaica and Hawaii for me. Hearing that those Goretex Spezial runners will be £180. Ridiculous if true.

Fuck it, why not, the Barbour weren't cheap and sold out. Stops the touts making the £.

If she dealt with the factory she described & was in a position of authority she was either very bad at her job or a liar.

Her career status, her competence at her job or her level of honesty weren't really at the forefront of my assessment of her at the time.

HBWHT?

Oh, a good handful, she was tall and leggy tho' - I had a thing for tall(ish) girls at that time - I was, in my altered state of mind, watching her from afar for a bit before pouncing and convinced myself she was French for some reason too - which added to her allure. My current beau (fluctuate wildly - no definitive measurement) is a petite 'un tho'...

This woman must be incompetent and /or a balloon as well...

cheers but I've spotted some blue ones now which I quite fancy

Oi Polloi were flogging Micropacers for 42 quid.

 

Bit of a marmite trainer though

I was in the adidas shop in Rome yesterday and they was selling them for 70 euros, as you say, marmite

 

Gazlelles were going for 40 euros to

 

Ended up walking out with a jacket and top

That'll be the Scouser in you.

Pushed over a wall on his way out too.

The theft of clothes and pushing over of the wall - was any of it his fault or was he the victim in these incidents?

JTF 96 euros worth of stolen clothing

The water I use in my system at work is 100% pure water and dries clear on any surface.

 

Perfect for cleaning light coloured suede!

 

Might start a trainer cleaning sideline.

Anyone know where I can get the black lleather Gazzelles ??

Scotts exclusive I think, they keep restocking.

Just got some from JD Sports in Marketplace, no other place in bolton has my size, and cant get online at the mo.

 

*Edit - I got the white ones, cant get the black anywere.
