Have had a trainer fetish for many years unfortunately it was with another brand with a few more stripes
The only brand with more stripes is K-Swiss or the old ghetto "4-stripes" I used to get lumbered with when I was a kid?!? How the fuck does someone develop a fetish for K-Swiss?!
Welcome to SSDB Mr.2009. Sorry, I can't bring myself to call you Futura, that's just a bit too strange for me. Hope we don't have another "Adolf Dassler" on our hands here!
Yeeah, yeah they would be the ones : ( seriously i can't tell you how much money i wasted on those things. without getting all sentimental they are seriously comfortable shoes. I have regrets though, 'nuff said!
Seriously how many other ''real'' Graff inspired designs could Adi come up with? I love the End2End series but it could have been better.

Sorry Mr.2009 but my spidey senses are tingling like fuck here. Anyone who'd been a writer for 15 years would know better than to bite another (world famous) writer's name when joining a forum, why didn't you just use your own name or make a up a new one? Did you think no one here would know who Furtura is? Plus, as Mr. Pure says, no self-respecting writer would walk round with next man's graff on his shoes, unless he's a fuckin toy who can't write. It'd be like carrying a picture of somebody else's wife and kids around in your wallet! WTF?

I don't think it's weird at all. Trust me i am a lot older and wiser now, I truly appreciate Graff as an art, not all this tagging bullshit. I don't see how having Futura is anything like that. It sounds cool and i like his work.

I suppose some other members just feel iffy about adopting someone elses name, its kinda like wearing someone elses skivvies. A bit of personal preference, thats all.

Yeah, I mean, if you'd ever been a writer, you'd use your own name.
Whether you was up or not, makes no difference.
It's like me coming in here calling myself Paul Newman or something.

Howdy Paul! Go introduce yerself!
Personally i thought picking a name was all about relating it to yourself through something you love or live by, not obvious stuff but yer mates know who you are.
Not tagged in years mind.

When I was an active writer you were either given a name by another more experienced writer or people picked their own names because of the letters in the actual word, because of how they looked when put together in a piece, some words just look better becasue of the shapes you can create with certain letters. I wrote Size2 because it was nice and symetrical at both ends, which suits my style and it was short, which is important when you're doing illegal work! The only reason I don't go by my old tag in here is because I thought people would think I worked for Size? and it would all get a bit confusing!
