S'happnin people?
I'm Shellshock and as the thread title says, I'm a Nottingham (UK) lad. I'm now 38 going on 15 and got my first pair of Soops way back in '87 after pestering my dad to bring me a pair back from Germany when he went on business trips but I only started actually collecting them about a year ago. Prior to that I would rinse them to death then bin em! Man, if I'd saved every pair I'd owned over the last 21 years I'd be sitting pretty right now
I currently own 16 pairs of Soops amongst approx 40 pairs of trainers in total but I've been buying strictly Soops since I stumbled across this place whilst searching for trainer customisation tips. I used to be a fairly competent and prolific writer around Nottz in the 80's and early 90's but I haven't been doing anything artistic for years now. I was recently inspired by an old mate to get going again but I decided customising kicks may be the way forward for me now, far too old to be out in the middle of the night bombing and getting up
I'll post up some pictures of my collection soon but don't hold your breath because
a) I'm shit at computers and this whole interwebz malarky
b) After seeing some of the collections on here, mine seems lame!
So far, I've stuck to "shop-bought" Soops for my collection as I love the whole old Skool vibe of going out hunting in shops and finding trainers, always thought getting them online was cheating slightly but after seeing what I'm missing out on, sod that!! There's some absolute beautiful trainers out there in Cyberworld and I needs to get me some!
When I'm not thinking about Soops here, in no particular order, are some of the other things I'm into: All the elements of Hip Hop culture, smokin mad izms, playing console games, smokin mad izms, music, cars, particularly Dubs (both air & water-cooled) sports such as BMX, Mountain biking & Skating, did I mention smoking mad izms? contemporary graphic design and art, gettin wrecked & partying, tattoos, Dogs, particularly English Bull Terriers, guurlz, films..err..and that's pretty much it really!
Anyway, I'll stop typing now as I'm going on a bit!
See ya around folks, let me know if there's any other Nottz heads up in here.
