Help with Made in W.Germany Rom's..... - justiz2 - 24-04-06

Managed to pick these up recently:





On the inside are stamped 3 numbers: 832, 8.5 and 131. I'm guessing that 8.5 is the shoe size, can anyone help with the meaning of the other 2 numbers?

are they the shoe size in other countries?

japanise sizes are just 3 numbers..

---

- justiz2 - 24-04-06

Hmm.. never thought of that before... Could very well be I guess...

---

- olstar - 24-04-06

my UK12's are JP 305 and the UK11.5's are JP 300

so based on that theory, a UK8.5 would be 270..

hmm

eenone of the numbers match up on there..

so apart from the number off the production line, and maybe the length in cm? inches?

god knows!

Just wondering, could 832 be the year and month it was made as in the 2nd month (February) of 1983?

---

- olstar - 25-04-06

of course, that makes sence!

might be an idea to contact the factory in w germany?

or adidas themselves?

Hmmm... good idea. Any clue what the emails could be?

Not sure on dating older kicks, I know the more modern adidas has a month and year seperated with a line so like 11/95 or whatever.

Have you got aphoto of the label?

---

- justiz2 - 26-04-06

Hiya woody... I'll try to take a picture of the label/stamp and post it here.

Thanks for the contact details olstar. I'll drop them a line soon...

glad to be of some help

Here's a pic of the numbers stamped inside the shoe. Not too sure if it's clear or not, kinda tough to take pictures of it...

---

- olstar - 26-04-06

are they the only markings in the shoe?

---

- justiz2 - 27-04-06

Yeah... that's the only one...
