yep. i had always stayed away because I didn't think they fit me very well. always more of a stan smiths and gazelles guy because they fit so comfy right out of the box.

but i just had to have the UPs when I saw them and that put me on the path of righteousness. My second pair was snakeskin vins and after those it was nothing but love.

I must admit, i would prefer the UP's to not have the cutlery on the stripes, but as thats kind of the whole point i guess we are stuck with them Smile

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.

Yes! Im not alone! The minority is growing Laughing
And how can you say you need to be a man to wear them?
Oh look at me Ive got a table cloth pattern on my shoes, with forks and everything Laughing

I think I preferred it when the minority was silent.

The Ian Browns arrived this week. A little dirty so I spent an hour giving them some TLC. £36 off the bay


The Upper Playgrounds I got off the bay, beautiful DS condition ONLY £60


I had promised that I would never get the vintage stars, but over the months, the more I looked at them the more I liked them. They really do look good on. Had to flip the gay laces though Smile

i love the bbq's cool shoe's. I've not had the stones to dirty mine yet. There all nice pick ups good workVery Happy
