True story, but first...
My name is Charlie I'm 27 years old and live in Silver Lake, CA. Born and raised in SoCal. I am a part-time DJ full time partier and currently make bread as an assistant to a real DJ/producer/promoter (sorry can’t name drop per “The Bossâ€). I must first admit that I am not a purist as many of you on this site my favorite pair of shoes right now are my McFly Nike Hyperdunks that were given to me as a gift and I am looking forward to the Goonies themed Pumas that are coming out at the end of the year. I do have a couple pair of superstars but they are just the basic whit on white stripes and a pair of white with black stripes.
The reason why I’m here, and almost got fired, my employer received as a gift a pair of the super secret pair of 35ths from one of his clients, they came in this awesome case with some accessories, I’m sure you are familiar with them. I guess he found out they were number 35 in the set and looked up and found what the others in the set were and decided he wanted pairs of the D-Mops, Ian Browns, and the Underworlds. Thus he put me on the task of getting them for him. I did a little research, should have done more now that I know what I know, and found out they are discontinued and turned to eBay were I found a pair of Ian Browns for him. Little did I know there is a rampant pirated market of these and when they arrived gave them to him. He wore them out with some friends who are apparently “shelltoe†aficionados and pointed out to him they were knock-offs. After much groveling and a second chance I am still charged in securing these for him. He is willing to pay a full premium on these and has even given me permission to buy ‘used’, I use this loosely, basically he wants box fresh with the tags off if necessary. Please if you could help me redeem myself and point me in the right direction I would be in your debt. He wears, as I have found out a pretty standard size of 10.5 – 11 US, making it that much more difficult to get these.
Please help me.
