Hi all - Doodster - 26-08-13

Hi folks, i hope you are all well and the sun is shining where you are!

Im Henry, a portly 38 year old from Falkirk, Scotland with a love for the many great things that Adidas bless us with for our plates of meat. Its really only in the last couple of years after what seems like an eternity away from seriously being into buying up sneaks that ive kinda upped my time and effort. My tale with supes originated when i was a kid progressing from the ubiquitous Adidas Kick to a pair of white stripes on black.....and i was hooked! Since then and especially through my earlier years ive always had a pair of superstars around, just now ive learned not to run them into the ground! Currently, and for my sins I only own three pair of superstars, but i can assure you peeps that will change. Amongst my adidas im big on zxs, torsion and munchen/trabbs and im sure there will be more of these added to my collection also. The reason for my renewed addiction would have to be as a substitute for my previous addiction to nicotine, now i like to burn my money a bit more constructively, and theres no better way than on trefoils!

I study International Relations at Stirling University (which i defo didnt forsee myself doing at this time of life!) and along with this educational journey would like to continue this education into what for me is one of the most iconic silhouettes in the shoe world. I definately am not here to sell or troll thats for sure, if i buy kicks they are for me and no-one else and the damage resellers wreak pains me. Im sure i will take great joy from seeing all you guys' superstars, and as my collection expands i hope this is returned. Im here to appreciate and no doubt learn from you guys and im sure in the process il witness many a great pair.

Peace

And as for music my big love is The Hives, absolutely luvem! Apart from that im usually working away listening to some EDM.....some Aly and Fila, Solarstone, Artic Moon, Bjorn Akesson, Sean Tyas, Nervo, Prodigy. Listen to the Vines a lot also and getting seriously into a band called Policia, absolutely love their sound! If im not studying im usualyy to be found with my eight year old boy, Callum aka Darth Mullac trying constantly to educate him why in life you need 'so much adidas trainers' as he puts it!

RE: Hi all - Sweet_Kicks - 26-08-13

I don't normally post in newbie threads due to the amount that come and go, but an effort like that deserves a welcome. Hope you stick around fella and get involved (though dont go post crazy).

We're mostly about the supes here but plenty of love for all things /// and even some love for the other brands...not too much though

Enjoy

I am also a fan of the Hives.

RE: Hi all - Doodster - 26-08-13

^^^ hey dude thanks for taking a peep and thanks for the words, appreciated 👍

I thought it would be an idea to give an decent insight into who I am and what I like, in reality theres a chance i will learn more from this group than i give but at least if i can show you guys it aint a one way street its better for all .

Other brands.........well i gotta admit to some saucony, puma shadow society and air max fbs 🙈........but mostly i rock Adis. Im sure theres loads out there that fly way under my radar so im looking forward to enlightenment from some dudes who share my passion.

Hey Lorrie thanks and yeah I lovem........when i grow up ( and its starting to look doubtful that thats ever gonna happen ) I wanna be Pelle Almqvist lol! I saw them for the first time last year and jeez it was dynamite....in monochrome 🙌

Greetings!

Excellent intro, all noobies/lurkers please take note.

Welcome to The Collective, Hal. You will find your kindred folk in here and then some, don't worry about how many you own, its the quality that matters.

Take a moment to use the search you will find most if not all questions you have will have been answered before.

Hey guys

Thanks for taking timeout to read my intro and for making me feel so welcome, i seriously appreciate it, im sure in the coming months and years hopefully i will have conversations with you all and alliances and friendships will be made 👍

I took the time to checkout the rules before having a look around the site and what you guys have created here is fantastic, and im sure ive only scratcthed the surface. Some of the collections i looked at last night were outta this world.....to the point my other half was questioning why my jawbone spent half the night drooping somewhere around my chestbone

All i can say is thanks again and respect to you all......buy what you love, wear what you love, share what you love ///
