those red ears are mega wide, but they kind of crease right across the top of my toes. I have them in brown though, natch

― Porkpie (porkpie), Friday, 5 November 2004 12:13 (nineteen years ago) link

hm, yeah, they'd probably be too wide for me. (Best pass, Mark, unless you think you'd wear them!) Can't find a photo of my old ones, but they're made by this company: http://www.trippen-shoes.com
They were expensive but have been well worth it.

I'm getting these tomorrow...
(the ones smack bang in the middle. For the uninitiated the Harris Tweed Terminators will be mine, oh yes!)

Chris - apparently Sole trader have them too, in bigger sizes, well 8 for sure.

Apparently (according to my man at Size) "all the fashionistas are wearing them" so they've pretty much sold out. He's kept me a pair which is handy!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 12 November 2004 12:27 (nineteen years ago) link

oh crikey, if that's the case I don't want them (the fashionistas that is)

― Porkpie (porkpie), Friday, 12 November 2004 12:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Hahah, well you don't really have to worry about that aspect in Cambridge!!! you could get them & then sit on them for a bit?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 12 November 2004 12:34 (nineteen years ago) link

there is that, but hmmmmm.

I might wait til next week as we're going over to Lille which is outlet store central, may have to pick up something different there instead (also - Lacoste factory shop!!)

― Porkpie (porkpie), Friday, 12 November 2004 12:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Toby, are you around? I'd like to talk to you about what we were discussing last night.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 12 November 2004 12:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Sounds like you need them in your life!!

two weeks pass...

Air Rifts time! I need to clean the insoles of mine, but am afraid I won't be able to completely remove them from the shoes without doing some damage.

Additionally, I need to find a (n affordable) pair for a female friend - do Rifts have a good history in the January sales?

mine are silver.

Are you a pixie?

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Monday, 29 November 2004 14:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I suppose so!

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 29 November 2004 14:37 (nineteen years ago) link

RJG = Richard John Grayson = Nightwing = The original Robin.

HOLY SHIT, IT ALL MAKES SENSE!

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Monday, 29 November 2004 14:40 (nineteen years ago) link

rifts don't tend to srop so much, although I've noticed TK Maxx getting some very different trainers in (Y3s for example)

Footlocker have some lovely new reissues in (and of course I've just foprgotten the name - they look like a cross between a dunk low and a terminator) Brown and grey with a blue swoosh = lovely

― Porkpie (porkpie), Monday, 29 November 2004 14:47 (nineteen years ago) link

the annual boots.

I got these from the Adidas at the outlet mall in Calais. They go very well with my jeans

I just bought these in brown. They match my new winter coat.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Hang on, those ones are green. Oops.

Those brown shoes are soooo sexy omg. Lucky you're my girlfriend.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:19 (nineteen years ago) link

i snagged a pair of mocassin-esque white leather boots in the sale at ravel. i love them. i think a huge percentage of ilx would hate them.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I've just purchased these, for £25 I just had to!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:40 (nineteen years ago) link

there were light and dark pink suede ralph lauren trainers in the sale. i immediately thought of you.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:45 (nineteen years ago) link

heh! Do you have a pic of your boots Lauren, you always seem to buy such gorgeous sounding shoes!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:50 (nineteen years ago) link

i couldn't find a photo. ravel doesn't have a website, unfortunately (perhaps one reason they can keep costs down). they're pretty sharp, although the leather is a bit cheap (another reason for low prices). dressed up a certain way, they look sort of hippie-mod. or, if i'm feeling daring, they could easily be skanky nu-britney.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:55 (nineteen years ago) link

See, always sound so nice!! Maybe you need to post a pic of your feet when you're wearing them!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:57 (nineteen years ago) link

one month passes...

I've got a pair of these...

http://www.crookedtongues.com/images/news_pics/adicolor_01.jpg

I need to custom, any ideas?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 7 February 2005 13:48 (nineteen years ago) link

my pair are getting grubby, I might buy a new one cos they are so cool. or else I will throw them in the washing machine in a pillowcase!

According to the men's style mag I just read at Gatwick, everyone and their babymama has customised those in time for the spring.

As soon as I got to New York I got these from Triangle Sports on Flatbush:

http://www.shoes.com/productimages/shoes_il48895.jpg

They're for running. I'm now back to two pairs of shoes.

ai lien: welcome! you have to put "i" in front of the URL, without any brackets or tags or anything.. the messageboard software will convert it for you, and the picture ought to appear if it's not too big. you can find more description in the FAQ link, which is at the bottom of each page, unless it's at the top.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 23:34 (nineteen years ago) link

gygax, those are truly beautiful.

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 23:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey Spencer I used to have a pair of those! Jack Purcell badminton shoes, right? I bought them in 1992 and the guy I bought them from was all "dude you're lucky you're getting these because Converse is going to stop making them forever. You should probably get more than one pair." And I was like "REALLY??!!?! But I don't have any more money!" And he looked at me sadly.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 23:40 (nineteen years ago) link

new new loves:

http://www.hanon-shop.com/images/products/small/AFF60NY.jpg

they are the cutest thing in the world.

― cis (cis), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 23:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Tracer: I didn't know they were for badminton!! I love them and in fact also have a pair of all-whites. They're easy to track down and Converse still makes them. My favorite thing about them is the little "KITT" eye slit in front! They're like slightly fancier All-Stars!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 23:44 (nineteen years ago) link

According to the men's style mag I just read at Gatwick, everyone and their babymama has customised those in time for the spring.
I'm not sure how "everyone" can have customised them as there are only 4000 pairs available worldwide. They are not regular superstars, they are the anniversary edition, coming with stencils, pens & different laces. Not sure what your point was anyway.

Cis, I have these ones..

Hi gygax, how goes it? Any nice pickups lately?

Hello Pink, it was a casual remark. Are you really that desperate to DIY, incidentally?

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 14:00 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost back to my own thread: the saddle oxfords are black and white, not that ickle brown.

tracer: thnx!

does anyone else check out people's shoes before anything else on others? i think i'm kinda shoe-ist.

― ai lien (kold_krush), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 15:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Hello Pink, it was a casual remark. Are you really that desperate to DIY, incidentally?
I got the adicolors for nothing, so that I could customise them. Besides, if not, it's just another pair of superstars.

I always do this, but I am checking their trainers!
