The adidas originals store in Berkeley is gettin them (Tuff Gongs)next week. Each one is being paired with a city release as well, Tuff Gong/Kingston, Motown/Detroit...
Hears some pics of the Tuff Gong apparel: http://porschetaylor.com/2008/01/04/box-...tuff-gong/

I don't think the run is too limited, 'cause the originals stores quarterly release book had them listed. So it seems like each store will be gettin them.

whoever designed the bluenotes needs to be sacked looks like a primark t shirt design

The "tuff gong" and "kingstons" are on ebay already!!!!!!
Seller is 95soleman

Just been in to the Originals store in Manchester. They will be getting some but they don't know which ones or when as some releases will be Consortium only!

starting price is 75 USD...

pretty undecided about this whole release now. if they're common as dirt, not sure i'm going to bother with any of them.

as a rule I try not to buy anything at adidas originals and save my money for the independent shops. if Toronto lost its one store with a Consortium account I'd be fkd.

Nice one, I haven't phoned them yet, reckon it'd be cheaper to buy from US, even with shipping? Shop called citysole have the tuff gongs for $100. Can't see them being much under 70 quid in the UK.

Even more on my zig-zagged superstar sole carbon footprint...

Mowtown

This looks to be a second version of the Motown....

i prefer the black ones to be honest , the blue ones look like the i love paris 35ths

Nothing like Paris 35th's really, much nicer.

Still like them Alligators

Each pack has two models - one reppin the label and one reppin their city. So those are the Detroit.

its a bit of luck ya here shotta. i was failing to see even a remote likeness to the original. i was trying to read the tongue but my eye site is gettin`old.

Sweet, so do you recon that the Blue Notes will have a New York inspired pair to go with them?

Mmmm I'm not sure, maybe NYC goes with the JAM one - I thought I saw a list of all the cities but cant find it now.

Thats what I was thinking. Would have associated the JAMs with NY, but then the Blue note is in NY as well. Mind you, NY is not the home of Jazz. Maybe they'll do some for Mississippi or something (they'll have to be water-proof)
