My new Mill Reefs arrived today!  Sorry the pics are pretty awful (and I did hike up my grotty old Levis, don't normally wear them this short!)  I am SO happy….

@LandoCal126:

It is these intricacies that are IMPORTANT when it comes to sneakers!

Vital! In my honest. Was looking at the reissue "70/80's" Puma States, or as they are known in the US Suede, now although they are waaay better than fairly recent reissues there are still issues for me , very minor in most eyes but when a company say that they are "as they were Back In The Day" i want them to be damnit exact as i recall or even have.

almost all sneaks from the 70's and early 80's that were still made in USA are better than the new made in China crap…
Vintage, baby, vintage

[Dchill]

So where can you buy original style or true vintage sneaks?

[Heavy Duty]

The World's Favourite Auction Site, secondhand stores or some specialist trainer stores

Actually i'm going to slighty disagree here. Now normally i'd slate and avoid anything that's made in China, however trainers from the big companies made out there are rather well made, and that goes for Vietnamnese made ones as well, it's the cheaper MATERIALS that's the issue….along with the moral side of it as well of course.

Yeah I figured that, thought there might be some great sneaker source I didn't know about though.  Thanks HD.

No problem. I'm always on the hunt for rare and vintage stuff and still dream of coming across some site/store/warehouse full of deadstock goodness, 'tis only a dream though

[Dchill]

What a great dream to have…..

Heard/read some stories of people finding such a motherload, and one such story involved a friend of a relative of mine just a few months back, think it's the reason i still hold out some hope haha!

Shameless Plug…

Just in case you like sneakers and missed it, I have just listed up 7 more pairs of my kicks for sale here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=167.0

[Dchill]

So I gotta ask you Lando, how many pair of sneakers do you think you have anyway?

[LandoCal126 0]

Easily over 300 but it has gone down drastically as of late. At my peak I prob had around 500… Looking to get down to 100 or under.
