not really a blood boiler. Woke up to a disappointing email from foot patrol saying they were unable to fulfill my order. Bye bye £30 BTID's...

This. This perfectly illustrates my recent post in the "Soon Come..." thread. Here we can see everything that's wrong with adidas's current marketing of the superstar, all neatly packaged into one poorly researched and badly written article.
Supe like Wanton, Buju like Banton

Shellshock again right on the money. Do you think adidas are worried that their core superstar buying market is getting a bit long in the tooth, which is why they're going after a more youthful crowd? But, hang on . . . Pharell and Beckham are both 40, or as good as, so can it be the youth they're after?
Trying to turn the supe into the "must have fashion shoe" of the season is a mug's game adidas. Short term gain, long term loss.
Means that this time next year none of the fuckwits will be seen dead in them and we can get back to business as usual. Look forward to a few more "Nice trainers mate" than usual for the next few months, then pitying looks from fashionista numpties for the next couple of years.

Hahahhahaa.
I love being really fashionable once ever 10 years.
Every 20 years the fad for Superstars lands at the same time as an interest in baggy jeans.
This is just such a bumper year.
There's a trail of female destruction in my wake!

Lock up your daughters 😜
I haven't hated anything this much since the fucking Bedingfields hit the pop scene.
With God's help I'll conquer this terrible affliction.

No.
But according to this great article it could be a classic soon, maybe as big as the Stan Smith they say. Even famous people are starting to wear them.
Superstars are indeed super...

I'm gonna burn my supes as a KLF anti establishment protest type thingy. That'll show Adidas (might get an article in the Gaurdian and all).

You and me both, LL.
We should make a fire big enough that they'll see it across the Atlantic, never mind the Channel.

Pure. I'm in. Just need to catch the flying doctor to Uluru (that's Ayres rock, you uneducated fools) and set fire to the fucking shoes. Reckon the world will see them from up there!
I'm off to buy me some Ugg boots!

A Facebook group with "superstar fans" flooded with resellers, the stupidiest questions and whatsoever... Can't we make an (hidden) SSDB Facebook group (with SSDB members only) with Mr.Pure and his banhammer?
