Oooh I can feel a mood board coming on

Shall we start a shared Pinterest and we can also have some kitchen inspiration on there as well

We need some indoor Futsal shoe styling thats for sure.

I think one of the best shoes that seemed to draw on a few classics and put them together was the Emerica Ellington and more recently you’ve got the LV shoe Lucien was involved with, maybe make a simplified and less chunky version of one of those?

There’s also those odd shoes that look rubbish on the shelf but make sense on foot (and vice versa) so it’s important to take that into consideration as well.

Interesting you should say that, a man in America said something very similar to me a couple of weeks ago. English fella.

Like a cheesegrater on the back of the shoe?

Garlic press.

Jason Lee Airwalk but less floppy.

Your picture…? What a good shoe that was.

No I wish. Amazing shoe. I wish Airwalk had stayed in the game.

Some version of it follows me on Instagram. It’s just somebody reposting pictures they’re tagged in, with some old ads.

And most of the non-pro shoes are still available, but brace ourself for the reality of, “Yeah nah, probably wouldn’t wear them” at checkout.

I’ve said this on here before, but have definitely done this with the ‘Ones’ since they reissued them a while back.

Add to cart… walk round shop for ages… bung 'em back on the shelf.

Will repeat.

Bahh! Should have stayed out of this… I just had a look at some and ‘want’ again.

…for the next five minutes.

Originally £200 my arse, but if these had been my size I’d probably add them to the never-to-be-worn section of the attic.

That toebox

I’d have these in black any day, shame they aren’t the OG mids

I had a pair of these - and loved them - but would definitely be happy enough looking at pictures rather than owning another pair.

I bought mine with one of my first wage packets in 89. Can’t remember how much.

Bruisers were my favourite high tops.
