Have to agree with SS, they are badness ie - proper shite.
You've have metal thieves* stealing yer supes thinking it was real copper.
* For non UK members for a while in UK the price of Copper almost quadrupled around 5-6 years back so there was a spate of anything copper was being stolen.

In California, USA, copper has been a hot commodity for thieves for a while. These guys (and maybe ladies too... I don't want to be accused of singling out males) were stealing copper from: poles for street lights (YES, with "live" electricity running through it), air conditioning units of vacant homes and vacant buildings, copper wiring from new construction from vacant homes from vacant buildings. Any structure that was vacant was prime for being hit and stripped of anything copper inside. The sad thing is that recyclers would recycle it with no questions asked on how some transient/homeless/bum could have so much. Copper theft was a major problem for a while in our city (I work at the Police Department of my city). Idiots.

Keep em coming PB, not your fault that the recent superstar offerings from the big A have been pants.
What we wouldn't give for a nice mk1 or mk2 superstar skate.

On the copper front, The Romanians are still nicking anything with a current running through it!
Also on the copper front, I'd quite like them if the toe was black or white.

That Rio model should come in a waterproof version so that the poisoned water can't penetrate them and enter one's skin. Eek. The leather part of those ProMods look really nice.

Interesting offerings!
I'm not sold on the leather, it looks like it might just be a painted split leather that has been printed/debossed.. If so it will scratch or tear easily. That said I quite like the wacky design.. Like a good Punk shoe, but it ain't a supe in my mind. Love that gum sole on the Rio, a bit like the grün recycled jobbies.

If I see someone wearing them I might not be able to restrain myself to just calling them a cunt.

really not a fan of the copper toes and also a little underwhelmed by the kasina offering, although the leather does look pretty decent

Saw the copper toes on Friday. Pretty weird. My wife saw the prime knits for the first time and quite liked them. Divorce grounds for sure.
