Shoes

It’s a bit of a mad game with vintage stuff. Price too low and everything sells right away and ends up being flipped. Price too high and it goes nowhere. With certain things, you put them out there just for people to look at, there’s no real intention of selling them at the high price but if someone wants them they will get in touch. It’s like that with a lot of antiques and art and collectibles. If you get good stuff you can’t really punt it out too quick.

I have sold a load of stuff cheap at Spit and Sawdust car boot sales in the past and to be honest I regret it, would rather sit on it and wait for a collector to get in touch. But yeah it’s a weird one.

If you look at the price recent SB Dunks and stuff go for, and how common they are compared to these Blueprint Abingtons the price starts to look more reasonable. But as ever, standard response when someone says the price is too high is ‘no worries, find another one’ :laughing:

Price is fine. Supply and demand.

I like em!

To be fair you’d have to try pretty hard to fuck up a samba

You could use bright purple suede or transparent plastic.

Blodney will rise to that challenge.

I’ve always heard “black and brown should never be found” but I think it’s a great combo!

Blondey went in a different direction for his Samba. Like a poor man’s Jeremy Scott.

Vans trying really hard to destroy any remaining sense of mainstream goodwill.

Excellent

They look like my shoes after I’ve worn everyday for a year and they’ve collapsed and resemble nothing like the original shoe

Won’t be buying them but the white/gum ones don’t look too bad:

What’s with Lakai and their shoe naming? All English towns/cities or football related?

Missed a trick not doing the new Villa shoe in a claret and blue colourway!

I’m going to have to respectfully disagree and say they look like a baggy pair of shoezone specials my grandad bought.

Anyone tried the new balance 440’s? About to order by 3rd successive pair of 1010’s but been swayed at the checkout but not 100% on sizing. Take an 8.5 in the 1010’s vs an 8 in every other brand.

Edit.

Bottled it and got another pair of 1010’s

I have a pair and they are tts

440 V2 high has a much more solid back to it which definitely gives more support. Been enjoying them a lot so far.
