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

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.

[Dchill]

lol I was close, my minimum guess was 250 and my max was 500! I keep an eye out on what you have for sale just because we're close to the same size.

[LandoCal126 0]

Wish I had a smaller shoe size a lot of the time. Not many people around here have my size and it takes a certain style to pull sneakers off with Japanese denim…

[stever]

you're a us12 right? i've got a bunch of cheapies (no ltd runs or top tier stuff) that i don't wear anymore if you're keen…

@tfar:

Love those German army sneakers! 

Source? Price? Thanks!

I also love wearing German army sneakers. I have two pairs actually- the Maison Martin Margiela and 2010 summer edition of German army sneaker. They are created very well to fit my feet.
