Jealous! Definitely not! One day ill buy a pair, then burn them, and record it and put it on youtube so you can all enjoy it.

Wow, you really do hate them don't you Jam? Burning them, thats supe abuse that is

Whats wrong with UP's? I'd kill a man fi dem!

Their hideous. Some kind of red criss cross design, and white diamond shapes Yh its the uppers design I hate the most. But then theirs cutlery on the stripes, and I dont even like writing on the stripes never mind spoons an shit.
Forget everything else actually its just that red n white upper.

You need a sense of humour to own a pair.
I doubt I have to explain it but the whole theme for the shoe is a barbeque.
The Gingham tablecloth upper with barbeque back and utensil stripes.
They're funny, rare and cool as fuck.
You gotta be a man to wear 'em.
Pussies need not apply.

Tru dat.. Real man's supe.

When summer comes - they are the ultimate shoe for a bbq at a mates (you can't have one because you spent the money on UPs intsead of a barbie).


Would love a pair - very "niche"

Very nice pick ups havok! I like the BBQ'S

I'm with Jam on this one, just with not as much venom in my dislike.
I actually like the look of the shoe but it was the cutlery on the stripes that killed them for me. Could have picked a pair up for about £40 a while back but couldn't justify paying out for a pair i wasn't 100% feeling.
Although, in defence of the UP's i've never seen a pair in the flesh.

^ As Dregz said ...

they're sweet as. Actually the first soop I ever bought.

And my barbeque matches the one on the heel

I think the UP's are really cool, would love a pair.

Gingham all up in this mu-fuh ya'll!
BBQs is the shits, and dats the truth ruth!

Seriously though, these are one of my faves from the anniversaries. I especially like the fact that they went with the chalk shell and sole rather than white. Just works so well.
I have rocked mine with both red and white laces and it's all good!

And I hate those upper playgrounds!

Hay Jam, The IB's have a vary dark green leather upper (ivy). Infact it looks black, you have to look at it in strong light to make out the real colour.

Shame Jam feels so strongly about the UP's. I was not sure about them untill a few months ago. Now I love them, can't wait for the hot weather to start.

But thanx for all the positive comments troops. Still not quite there with my collection yet......but making progress
