Sneakerphile..

I need some of them skatebarding SS (white with gum sole) next..

You have them, so you dont need to buy them if they crop up on the bay again

I have the black/whit/red ones already

[Sneakerphile]

I gotcha!

I just got the Brown Suede Campus from THE MAN as well. Sick![/img]

[olstar]

You need to post up pics of your collection ma brother..

Share the wealth!

[Sneakerphile]

I plan on it, don't worry.
I'm at work at the moment, so I don't have access to any of my pics or ImageShack, so I can only talk the talk right now. But once I get home, you will see that I most definately walk the walk!

cheers sneakerphile....a pleasure to know someone with such good taste

yeah you need to get some photos up here man!

[scotswiss]

Wow, shoeshotta on here. Nice one!

Quick question dude, why do you always put Consortium in any Ebay listing.

I know your rep is rock solid as a seller but that always bugged me....

Not majorly and no offence meant, just curious....the fellas'll buy your stuff anyway...no?

PS - Surely YOU can get me the Neighborhoods!

As promised earlier Olstar, here's the first of many pics (I need to transfer some more from my camera to the pc)
This is my 35th Anniversary collection:



I'd like to know if anyone out there can beat this.

I'll be posting some more over the weekend.

Sneakerphile ! What you got from before the 35th anniversary ?

[jackie_pants]

Here's a couple of skate shops advertising white / gum SS skates. Don't know what's in stock tho. I've used exit.uk.com before, and they're pretty good.

Sneakerphile ! What you got from before the 35th anniversary ?

Pre-anniversary? Well, an assortment of various styles really.
I've loved superstars for years, but couldn't afford many so I wore them all to death (my oldest pair, whites with navy blue stripes) were relegated to gardening shoes about 2 years ago, and I had them for at least 4 years prior to that.

I got a sick pair of corderory/suede Campus about 10-12 years ago which I still have in pretty good nick (only cost me £15 brand new)

Some beautiful Red Suede Sambas (which I had to bring back to life after I let a candle drip was all over them!), some Gazelles.

Picked up a pair of Watermelons when they first hit the stores in 2001 from Union in Greenwich Village, New York (they only had one pair left in the blue/silver and they were my size. FATE!) I went back there in 2002 and got a pair of the re-issued Superskate Hi-Tops (white/blue trim/red stripes)

So a pretty average collection, not mentioning other brands I have, as this is an Adidas forum (don't worry, NO NIKES)

It's only been since I got a promotion and substantial pay-rise back in late 2004 that i've had the cash to through myself into this most glorious of past-times full speed. Lucky for me, that coincided with the release of the Anniversary series and my first forays into "ebay land".
Between Feb and July last year, I spent just over £2,500 in pursuit of the Anniversaries, and ended up with the collection I posted previously (I also have 5 pairs of "spares", but i'll list those on the For Sale section)

A few other choice editions have come my way, in no small part thanks to MrShoeShotta, since then, as well as hooking some of the Adicolor series this year (only 10 pairs, the prices were getting silly!), the most recent ones being a gen-u-ine pair of Crooked Tongues, complete with all the trimmings.

This year I also started customising Superstars to sell. I've had a tough time selling a couple of pairs on ebay (the first pair I did went well, got £80) but I have had commisions from a few people, so thats promising, and it's keeping me busy (working on two pairs at the moment, plus another 4 in the pipeline) I'll probably start a new thread to show my customs.

Anyway, thats my shoe history. As soon as I sort my shit out i'll get some good pics of my collection and post them.

Going back now to the last post, and the comment about "no creases", I want you to know that, aside from the Chili Peppers, I have worn every single pair of my anniversaries, at least once. But I take an analy-retentive amount of care of my kicks, and alternate what I wear so frequently that they never get worn out or look old.

Here endeth the lesson.

[Teaj]

will you be trying to add these to your collection?!
