Hi all, I'm Bluerinse from London. I have been a lurker on this site, a voyeur some might say but I've finally decided to become a member... Phew what a relief. All the best... B

    Here they are:

October last year I bought some elephant luxs from tshirts4u.

The other day I took them for a walk for the first time, and I noticed this:



Now, what do I do? They refuse to give me a new pair because it's so long time since I bought them. On the other hand, they've only been worn once, and I don't think they're meant to break like that after 8 months in a box (yes, I know it's some time, but I had to move, and sort a lot of things out).

does anyone know where i can BUY the lemar and dauley streetball 08 remix??? I've seen them on plenty of websites but none where i can buy em... I'm Size 11 if that helps.... GRACIAS

I thought it might by an idea to start of a short thread listing sites selling various items for customisation (paints and the such) so that anyone wanting to try their hand knows where to get what they need.

Here are a few sites that I use that are very good:

http://www.everythingairbrush.com/
This site carries everything from paints to airbrushes and compressors. Very good site. Reasonable prices and quick delivery.

http://www.cfsnet.co.uk/acatalog/CFS_Cat...e_533.html
If you're gonna customise, you need to strip the existing coatings/paint from the shoe first to get the best results. Acetone is the best thing for this, and this site does industrial strength at cheap prices.
If you look around this site, they also do protective items, such as latex gloves and particle/ventilator masks as well (a must if you are airbrushing)

http://www.shesto.co.uk/Knives,_Blades_&...index.html
If you plan on doing any stenciling, then you'll need craft knives. This place is the best i've found online. These are the ones that I use. You can also get cutting mats here as well (so you don't carve up your kitchen table!)

Basic masking tape is the best thing for masking of areas of the show you don't wanna paint, or you can use it for cutting out stencils as well. You can pick this up in loads of different places (Woolworths, B&Q, Homebase, etc) Get several different widths!

http://www.glowtec.co.uk/
This is a good site if you wanna try something a little special.
You can get Glow In The Dark and UV paint from here. They have also started doing reflective paint, so you can get that 3M effect, along with reflective tape as well (for those of you who want to make some reflective stripes for your adicolors)

OK, finally, there may be a solution to the problem of old faded shells. I have yet to get round to testing this yet (have bought some but not tried it yet) but it sounds like it may do the job. The paint dries to form a flexible weather-proof plastic/rubbery layer, whichs sounds like it would be perfect for painting shells.
As you know, you use normal paints and you risk it splitting or cracking when the ruber bends. This may solve that problem.
Once I have tested this out (if the weather stays good I can do it, as it needs to be used outdoors) I will let you all know the results.
They do it in several colours as well, so you may be able to take your customisation all the way down to the sole!

Well, thats all I have for now (sorry to all you non-brits, these are all UK sites, but they may deliver internationally!) If I come across anymore, i'll post them up.
Likewise, if you have any sites that do quality supplies, stick them up here.

Anyone know what these are?? customs or an actual release??

Hey guys, i just checked the other thread and it's locked.... i posted these up yesterday in 'look what the postman bought....' but a few questions of doubt where thrown my way, i'm just looking for some clarification please as i spent a fortune on these (which i couldn't really afford to do!! Who can!!) and am gonna be bloody annoyed if they turn out to be fugazies.....

i've taken some detailed pics, but they look real good quality, but lets see???


















on this pic the trainers look too small as someone said, but if you can see they are slightly bent on the back as if they have been hanging and the weight has squashed them sllightly...? dunno, just trying to justify everything

?

Much thanks for the fellas at Styles of Tokyo. Just got these in:


Iphone pics so sorry for the low res...
these are a part of the Made for Japan series of adidas models including the Country, (white/green & white/blue), Superstar, Stan Smith and Stan Smith comfort. For the uninitiated, you may have heard of the adidas obsessive shop Styles from their inclusion in the adicolor series (B1)...

They are basically a Superstar II with Superstar quality firm leather. Heel tab on rear, shelltoe and outsole are Superstar II . Unlike the Superstar II the inside is not fabric and tongue is leather with padding on inside... Very simple but quality execution. The way I like it.
