Am I the only one that finds it ridiculous that, essentially, a basic chuck lined with Gore-Tex is going for $500?
No
+1. Trainer companies in general are loving the fact that basic vulcanised shoes are hot right now as they can bang them out with no problem and at much less of a cost than the retro runners etc, and talking of those they are going to be more expensive come from next year.

…faster than your bullet.'bout to give the new Evidence album a spin the only way I know how. Ballin'…
Dude!
I had some pumps way back in '91.. I have a class picture of me wearing them somewhere around.. Might have to dig it up….
I also had a rockin mullet back then.
Sported OZ 111's Back In The Day and a few other Pump's as well. Although i have a few OG's sitting stewing in their box i still have yet to nab another pair of OZ's in black…..just for the memories.

A quick shot of my new Loake Badminton 2 Borgues. Lovely shoes, worn about five or six time so far. These will be my work shoes for London trips for a while:

I seriously have bought possibly 3 pairs of sneakers since I started college, so we can safely say that is approximately 3 pairs (running) in 8 years. I have only had new balance (2) and some brand now that I can't even remember (that is how much I use them).
When I was a kid, I was crazy into basketball, and I had pretty much all of the popular basketball shoes from 89-96. The ones I remember were the Jordan's from 1991. Can I still get these somewhere? They were badass, and I remember they were red, black, and grey. Also, I had the first pumps that came out however many years ago. I guess what I am asking is, do they do repros on these older kicks today, or would my only option be some rare deadstock?

when i get a moment i'll try to put up a little history on those Woven's (promise i'll insert before the year is out). i do agree they aren't for everyone, that makes them more appealing or maybe that should be appalling. how many big companies do a shoe like this with roots in Native American heritage & such? it may seem like many now, but when these debuted that number was like zip, zero.

brand: ALEXANDRE - savile row
saw these in a local store and had to cop'em.
tag´s saying:

Alexandre of England 1988 Ltd.
Leedsi think they are well crafted, quality leather, goodyear welted, commando sole…just what i need!
maybe i´ll change the laces to something better looking...
-
they look to be a top quality shoe. i don't think i would wear them, just something about plain toe shoes. . . but they do look very versatile & the sole allows you to wear them when ever/were ever
-
well i was thinking bout resoling my red wings with a commando sole back then, but since i´ve found these today, i don´t have to resole the red wings
and besides that i think i have found a nice pair of shoes (besides the boots) which i can rock "when ever/where ever"…so yeah...pretty happyfitpics will show their true beauty (i hope)
-
then a good purchase & your flicks probably make the shoes look better. top notch photos always, shoes will get interesting depending on how the leather is dyed that blue. almost like a pair of new raws.
*see me not "liking" them isn't a bad thing. it just means i wouldn't wear them. guess that's why the guy that doesn't like chuck taylor's never said anything about it
-
Calling me out, huh, Monday?:) Just saw them, so my lack of comment was unintentional. I rather like them, like you say, they look well made and versatile. I think they'd be cooler with a nice cap toe, but that's just me.

i was trying to recall you name but couldn't
you had a valid point (in ref to the chucks) when you stated it was just your opinion really & nothing to add to the conversation. i do respect that, but had to give finn feedback as you know that's why he posted the pictures.
-
Finn, those are cool. We're did you get them?
-
Cool, I'll have to go and check out the local one, see if any made it our way.
