Hello from Australia lol - J-C - 24-06-10

Hows it going every one?
My name is Jace and im from Australia and i live in a small town called Batemans Bay.
Ive always wanted a pair of superstars but they do not exist where I live and the only way I can get them is off the net or a few hours drive to the city.
Over here they generaly reatail for $160 AUD.
Anyway, Ive signed up for two reasons;

1) I love the superstars! but.... havnt broke my shell toe virginity yet
unless you count the fakeys from thailand : (

and 2 im in need of some help.

I was looking at the superstars 2, and ive come across the new superstars 2.5 but I cant find them on any of the adidas websites.

The only way to get a hold of them is off the net but the sites that have them look dodgy as (and yes adidas-london can die).

Can anyone help?

OK, before anyone else jumps on you for various reasons, take these two pieces of advice.
1) There is a lot in info on here regarding reputable sellers and also a list of fakes. Read and learn.
2) The 2.5s are shit!

RE: Hello from Australia lol - pokey27 - 24-06-10

And i thought u had taste

RE: Hello from Australia lol - Old Gregg - 24-06-10

whatever gave you that idea

RE: Hello from Australia lol - J-C - 24-06-10

thanks guys, yeah ive had read through here but I cant seem to find anyone that stock this shoe. Just want something differrent,as im sure not many people would have the 2.5 here in Oz.

As a comparison, the 2 vs the 2.5 same overall size? or is the 2.5 a bit more bulky?

Oh and to sneakerphile, i did read the list of fakes. I didnt come across the adidas london until after!

Welcome to the boards Jace. Be sure to have a look at the members collections section to get a better feel for what's out there.

SenorDragon, I think you may be the nicest member on the boards. You sure your not Canadian?

And welcome J-C. Im sure if you stick around you will see there's some nice supes out there. Don't sell your self short with just 2.5's...

welcome fellow aussie

the reason you dont see many 2.5s around is because they're hideous... dont listen to carly shes crazy hahaha

read around the forums, theres stacks of places online that have heaps of legit supes... I can safely say that most of the other aussies here buy our supes online from UK or US as the retail prices here are bullshit and the variety is usually pretty limited.

Hello from a fellow newbie. Be warned this place is addictive.

RE: Hello from Australia lol - J-C - 27-06-10

thanks everyone, yeah its amazing at how many types off superstars there is.
And yea in Australia we get jack all in variety.

Oh and I figured if my mrs can have so many types of shoes, then I can have so many types of shell toes!
(see how that goes, lol)
