@endo Funny you should mention it, the old pair have just undergone a black dye treatment. I'm very pleased with the result, I'll post a pic later.

So this is my 4 year old pair of 'shoes like pottery'. They used to be white but I did a black machine dye a couple nights ago. I love how they turned out, its not 100% black but the coulor has some eggplant vibe to it. Will prob wear them till I get a hole in my sole.

For anyone interested in how tough the Shoes Like Pottery sneakers are, I bought my first pair for £25 off eBay 2 years ago and they were well worn to say the least.. I liked them so much I bought two new pairs and.. I haven’t had chance to wear them yet. The well worn £25 pair still looks exactly the same as when I bought them and they have been worn pretty much constantly for two years.
The new ones I purchased directly from the goodweaver.jp website for £52 while Rivet & Hide sell them for £145. They also stock the full range of indigo Doek sneakers for £68 which are £145 on the Drakes website.

@jerkules I was worried about that myself and I don’t know what sorcery SLP use but somehow my well worn pair are still super grippy. I’ll add a couple of pics of their current condition to this post.
The one time I have slipped in them I was carrying a huge bunch of helium filled Peppa Pig balloons on my way into a kids party and stupidly decided to take a small shortcut out of a car park down a steep grass slope (which was way muddier than I anticipated) and skidded down a good ten foot of it without decking it.. I just wish someone had happened to have being filming it

@jerkules - also find them very grippy myself. They are incredibly well built. The only reason i’m not wearing them as often as novestas is that after a long walk(and i walk a lot) the ball pf my right foot starts to ache. Weird thing, dont have it with other boots or sneakers. But definitely recommended shoes quality wise

@jerkules I work as a store manager in food retail what means running around a lot, 15-20k steps a day. My whole store has tiles which are often a bit slippery but I never had an issue with the SLP. The only thing bothers me a little bit is the thin sole, makes my feet sore after a whole day of wearing them

@AdamJ are there any Informations about wear days/ washes with Harakis IHSN-01?
-
@FlavourFade afraid not, worn like hell for years!
-
In the spirit of enabling… damn cool Flat Head sneaks
-
Trusty £25 second hand Shoes Like Pottery still holding up incredibly well. I’ve worn these pretty much constantly since I bought them around 18 months ago. Liked them so much I immediately bought a new pair, I’m just not sure when this pair will ever be beaten up enough to get the new ones out
-
@Tago-Mago They are brilliant aren’t they? I’ve ordered a a pair directly from the goodweaver.jp website and they shipped internationally incredibly fast at about half the price Rivet & Hide sell them for. They also have Doek slip ons available if you are interested in a well made Japanese equivalent for when your Vans are trashed
