This is my first ever forum, besides FLStudio. I am very old and greying but still wear my shells with pride. I don't collect (although my wife would disagree), I wear them 'til they get tired then I give them to friends or charity shops. I have tried to get into Nikes and other brands, I buy them but end up giving them away cos I feel like a fraud. Got some of those hemp AF1s but felt like a rapper so they had to go - sorry any MCs out there. Used to wear Nastase Tennis shoes to break and pop in in the 80s, never had shells when I was a kid even though I followed Run DMC religiously -still got an LP signed by them in the loft somewhere. Everyone seemed to be wearing puma in London at the time, probably cos of LL Cool J and the Rock Steady Crew. Forgive me if I am incorrect. Started buying them in my twenties and haven't looked back. I keep buying New York 35ths over and over but they are getting hard to find now, plus a lot of fakes about, should've bought a job lot to last me the rest of my life... its the flash of orange and the blue sole that I love. Recently started to customise different pairs with An***us paints (no plug) for my son and my niece although I haven't nailed a design for myself that I feel comfortable with. Although I have blacked out my Berlin 35ths and they look sick with just a red trim on the sole and the lace hole strips Have no idea how you customise with suede and embroidery like the ones I have seen on this site. I am a youth / music worker and will be trying to get some youngsters customising this summer (careful with the acetone obviously!) on a arts award project. Anyway I'm waffling.... but It is good to vent!

Welcome Benji.
Nothing wrong with plugging things so long as it isn't noike.
Don't be hoarding all them NYs though.
Spread the love, buy a few different pairs and cherish the NYs.
You coulda saved yourself some grief with the Berlins cos you can buy an all black pair with the red soley bit.

Hello and welcome Benji

Welcome fella.
