RE: Heads up....(NO LIVE AUCTIONS!) - Grimmy - 19-11-09

We have 2 adidas outlets in the whole country and the further one is over 600km away so there aren't really "those places" for me besides this one which is 25km away. Over the few years time I've been going there, I have never found any really interesting pairs. Not surprising as Finland overall sucks so much when it comes to supes and even more so when it comes to their pricing.

I just made a trip out to my local outlet store on the strength of those pics hoping to bag a pair of the oranges. But they didn't have any. So I had to settle for a pair of sneighties for £45 instead. Booyah!

battosai..... the adidas outlet near me takes credit card/cash/debit... just like any other shop, the selection they get in seems to be random, fairly good selection of sizes, suprised to see the oranges in there, as they kinda dissapeared from "normal" shops while there was still demand for them.....might be worth giving them a call pre visit, see if they got what you want, get em put by... think its a simila vibe to the maxx, where they dont know whats comming in and when, but they do get some gems... even seen some KzK stuff in there

I'm going to the Adidas Outlet in Holland tomorrow. If somebody wants me to check a specific model, just let me know. I have never been there before so there are nog guarantees.

Cheers, Pukka.

How do you find out where your nearest outlet store is? I tried googling before but was met with a barrage of non-descript shite. I think there's an 'outlet' store in Derby, but it seems to just be a general place, not an adidas outlet store, which is, I believe, what you went to?

RE: Heads up....(NO LIVE AUCTIONS!) - Shellshock - 19-11-09

There isn't an outlet in Derby, they probably mean the one I go to which is on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border. It's at an outlet village type ting, just off J28 on the M1. It ain't worth making a trip to unless you're localish. I go up there once a month or so but the pair I bought today are the 1st decent pair of supes they've had in since early summer. They only seem to stock up to size 11 so no good for you longfoot mans.

You've saved me a journey shell shock, was going to go today to see if they had the oranges

You definitely need those orange soups in your life lurking, and while you're there can you pick me up a size 6 please

Thank you, shellshock.

I am after those oranges.

Cannot find them anywhere in a 12+ pissing me right off.

Outlet shops stock stuff/soops that aren't selling in the main ones + probably sizes that aren't much catered for ie - UK12s, so I'd keeping on checking at the ootlets you'll find some 12s there before long.

You could always find the number of a few and give em a call, my local one (@ Cheshire Oaks) has offered to post stuff to me.

Yeah, I'm about 5 min drive from the outlet at Cheshire Oaks. Might buzz up there over the weekend and have a look about.

RE: Heads up....(NO LIVE AUCTIONS!) - pukkabruv - 20-11-09

battosai.. the one near me is part of the McArthur glen outlet mall.. there are a few around the country, im assumin they all have the same stores at them.

---

might go down there next weekend, if i see any massive orange's i'll give you a shout

---

RE: Heads up....(NO LIVE AUCTIONS!) - Shellshock - 20-11-09

Yes Pukka, the one near me is a McArthur Glen too so maybe they all have the same crappy shops. Bar the adidas store and the Cadbury's shop there's absolutely nothing else worth stepping into at mine.

---

RE: Heads up....(NO LIVE AUCTIONS!) - Battosai - 20-11-09

Yeah, the one I found was MacArthur, but because of all the other shops there and no certain label of 'adidas outlet' that I could find, I thought it couldn't be the place.

Shame it's a bit of a distance away, as I figure these are the kind of places you want to keep checking on at least a weekly basis.

RE: Heads up....(NO LIVE AUCTIONS!) - Shellshock - 20-11-09

The problem I've found with my local (I say local, it's still a 30 mile round trip!) is the staff don't know shit and don't care either. The shop is manned by knobbers with as much interest in adidas as my mum has in Kung Fu. They never seem to know when a delivery is coming or what's gonna be in it. Ok, I can understand that so I've 'befriended' them told them I'm a collector, told them about this place and how when they get decent size runs of good supes we'll buy lots etc etc and left my number loads of times so as they can call me when any superstars arrive but they never do, nor do they ever want to let me in the back for a rummage through the old shit in the stockroom, the set of cunts. Shame really, if they just had one person who was remotely interested in the brand or just trainers in general it'd be an awesome spot.

Do we have any N.Irish members? There's another adidas outlet just outside of Belfast that I go to whenever I'm over visiting family which always seems to have better stock than the one near me in England. Got my Rainbow Vins in there for £19 last year!

Sounds like the one I go to in Collingwood friggin airheads with no clue or care. Unlike the Melbourne oStore's who are totally awesome and can't help enough.
