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.

[cracky]

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

[jam]

I'm with Jam on this one, just with not as much venom in my dislike.
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
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

[Lorrie]

I think I preferred it when the minority was silent.

I didnt realise there was such extremes of opinion over the UP's!

I'd still kill for a pair o' them though!

[King of the Farm]

Got these in today...

'05 Hemps

I swapped out the original laces for some thick cream laces...





It's been a good week with the Buenos Aires, Missy's and now these. Just need my Purples, Season's Greetings and white navy's and it will be complete

[jam]

They kinda look like demin. But those laces match perfectly. Good stuff.

I have been AWOL for a while waiting for the postie to come a knocking. Here are my lattest additions.

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

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

[cracky]

Well done kotf, great pick up, hardly ever see those crop up these days

[Cluskey]

These turned up today, hope they are real!

[cracky]

Those laces look very shady to me compared to mine anyway.

[Cluskey]

Can always go back

[streak]

Think they're fake mate.. how much did you pay?

[Cluskey]

£60, didnt want to pass on them, after passing on IBs last month.
Just start a dispute? I thought they looked ok, damn newbie
