      i used to collect dunks too back in high school. then freshman year in college i slowed down and only copped a few jordan V (fire reds, green bean, grapes).
      then i got a girlfriend and couldn't afford anything ever again =b.
      by then, the sneaker game blew up and GR dunks were everywhere.
      now, 3 years later. after i dumped the gf, my addiction for raw denim started, which leads me here to IH.

      in the past 2 years, just been wearing vans authentics and chuck cons high. both in monochrome black.
      they're just good, simple everyday shoes. cheap enough to buy multiple pairs too. i went through 4 chucks and 2 vans in those 2 years.

      i got 5 on it.

        Here is a pic of the ever elusive shark skin sneakers from Ed Meier in Munich. I've had these for quite a long time. The shark skin is really super sturdy. They say 25 times tougher than cow skin. The upper looks like new. The sole is in need of an overhaul. I'd buy them again but haven't had a chance to go to EM last time I was in Munich and I don't think he sells them over the net. In fact, I don't know if they still make them. A friend of mine has them in water buffalo. Nice, too. You can see the quality of the lining leather is also excellent. And they are super comfortable. If only they were cheaper, they'd be perfect!

        I like the cut. It's like a sneaker on a Richelieu/Oxford basis or at least inspiration with a longwing front quarter. Only Hermes makes similar ones, afaik, but I'm not a sneaker specialist. And Hermes prices are truly hardcore.  😎

          haha, those are sweet as FUCK! i have been looking for shark and stingray shoes (boots actually) for a while now. i feel like those underwater basterds deserve to die for my vanity just like the many cows that have provided me with wearable leathers thus far in my life. lol. but yeah, i'm going to google those hermes kicks right now, Jesus i cant wait to see if they have pics!

            So many fantastic sneakers out there.  We have limited access in UK, and at size 6.5/7 ladies US (37/38 European) am bit frustated at how many lovely styles and colours are out there but too big for a little shortarse like me.

            I love Beat's Mill Reefs, have found these in Japan for around US$150 plus shipping.  Is Rakuten the only source?

            Am looking at buying some Springcourts, are these OK or naff?

            Any suggestions/advice gratefully accepted!

              Springcourts are nice - but PF flyers are even nicer

              source for Millreef - yes , Rakuten or proxy

                Oooh, thank you!  I'm gonna have some fun choosing some new summer footwear  😉

                These are my TFH sneakers G brought back from Japan couple of years ago, well worn and cleaned yesterday with Dr Bronner's Almond liquid soap!

                p.s. Just been told off for not turning pic 180 degrees, sorry - am a novice.

                    I want these badly!  But how do I get hold of them?

                    You might need to become my sneaker dealer - you can feed my latent addiction and in a few months' time me (and my feet) will be unable to live without you…!

                                Thanks for the link. Terrible website, though. Even worse than some French sites. 😉 And you can't buy those shoes online, unfortunately.

                                  Sorted!  With Beatle's help these are on their way to me…  Now I can start looking at what else I might desperately need want (Giles edit)…

                                      Aaah, Beats - embarrassing to admit but my "proper" jeans (THF5100s) don't fit me!  G has been feeding me too well.  I've stopped wearing my old 7forallmankind and Earl jeans because they are more lycra than denim (forgive me, I didn't understand…!)

                                      So am waiting eagerly for my TW3230PI to arrive (currently being hemmed in Japan).  In the meantime, wearing my old TW201s that I've had for about 6-7 years, pre-distressed and now falling apart....

                                          And Beats, I think you are a shoe size above me so you are probably safe wearing your green Millreefs when you visit, but don't be too sure - they might disappear at any time…

                                            Those TW´s fit u nice - I miss wearing something that feels like sweatpants. Looking forward to more buttonfly waywt editions , esp. when the new pair is on ur back.
