My Trainers for ???, by Run Pig Run on May 14, 2008 18:28:15 GMT 1, After being a Sneaker Freak since the late 80's I've decided having boxes of unwon shoes cluttering my house isn't cool. Skimmed down all the nice pieces and just have a few bit's left. If anyone want's to swap for prints let me know  Nike Dunk "Stussy" Hi from 2001 fully DS and just as they should be    or loads of Jordans all UK11 US12 VII Olympic XII Black / Red XIII Black / Red XV White / Obsidan I Patent Red IV White / Green XVII Red Flight Case II White / Red XIX White Long shot I know but can't be arsed with feeBay ;D
No offence by these look like two massive great beige cow pats, they're are fucking horrible.
Is it because they are limited edition or something?

My Trainers for ???, by angryboy on May 14, 2008 18:57:33 GMT 1, The trainer market was completely saturated with new hyped model after another...as NJR911 pointed out there might be parralels with the print market but who knows.
I've been thinking about how the print market now reminds me of the trainer market three years back. Good to see others have been thinking the same. Folk queueing, buying everything limited and sticking it straight on ebay where it sold the next day at a 300% mark up. There'd be folk with 400+ prints with the arse fallen out the market holding on to them till the trend comes around again if that happened.

Your right, my Grandad is pretty cool - he puts most of my friends to shame with his style. He is the ORIGINAL retro cool. Except he has recently had to swap his jeans for 'something more comfy'

My Trainers for ???, by GB on May 14, 2008 19:27:08 GMT 1, i guess the only difference is the entry point. for most pairs of trainers you would pay a MAX of ยฃ150. and that would be out of the norm. With art, you can get work for that price, quite a bit actually, but for many of the more well known 'Street' artists you are going to struggle for get anything for tripple that. And thats rrp....
I have never sold a piece of art in my life, so i figure, if the ass falls out of the market, great! i have bought all my art because i love/like it. the cheaper it is the more i will buy! or if it explodes and becomes totally out of my league i will buy less and have more chance to admire/love those pieces i have been able to get in the mean time.
life is too short to regret certain things in life you should do just for love...

I had no idea people collect (hoard) 400 pairs of them. Do you take them out of the box ocassionally and look at them. Or do you prance around in them in front of a mirror like Bigman does in his wife's underwear?
Slightly off topic .... Wassup Zipster?!!!

So, if any of you nutbag kix collectors know of any cool sites/forums/online stores that would give me a leading edge on where and what to buy, I'd certainly appreciate a detailed PM about it!
Good luck with the sale!
Cheers
P.S. I'm a US 10-10.5. If you got some badass sneaks in that size, hit me up!

They're my favourite trainers along with my Aloha Hawaii Dunks. I wear the Aloha quite a bit though but not the Unkle really any more.

Have a rather tame collection of around 50 pairs and mainly regular or large edition releases but struggle to wear them all. Have recently got in to the Nike Studio thing but struggling to convince them to let me have a pair of Low AF1s as they are apparently for VIPs
