I'm still waiting for trainers to arrive from Adidas.

I ordered a pair of Hamburgs straight from the website in the Summer and they took an absolute age to come. They get shipped from Germany.

Are these Tobacco's dead stock? If so, how much could I get if I sold them?

They are deadstock, but in that condition you'd be lucky to get £20.

If you seriously want to sell, buy some sugar soap, dilute it 3 to 1 with lukewarm water and scrub them. Once they're as clean as you can get them (they won't be perfect in that very light colourway) leave them to dry naturally with tissue paper inside to draw the moisture.

BNIB they fetch maybe £60, so you won't be getting near that anyway.

They turned up something awful in that picture, but bar the dark mark on the front of one of the shoes, there isn't much else wrong with them. Cheers for the info anyway!

No worries, you'd be better keeping them and wearing, at least you won't see many folk with a pair. Something different from the gazelles and NB the wedge haircuts all wear.

Off to Scott's at Braehead this afternoon to spend some vouchers.

If I don't see any clothes, I'm torn between spending them on one of the following:

Kopenhagen cw hamburgs

All white Gazelles

These new clear gum sole gazelles in white on navy.

Athens CW dragons. Maybe the all yellow.

The Athens or grey CW beckenbauer all round are catching my eye too.

Officially, those Hamburgs are the Oslo colourway, but I agree they look more like Kopens. I picked a pair up in Office and the suede quality was awful, the yellow looked a bit like vomit and the /// were wonky, so I left them right there on the shelf. I have the Malmo colourway ones anyway.

What did you end up with?

Just seen a pair of Hamburgs with the yellow and black colourway.

Should I blow the £70?

No no, get New Balance, or better yet, Converse. :lol:

Yup, took a look at the hamburgs and said no thanks.

Both JD and Scott's are sold out of all white Gazelles.

Looked at various Dragons but they just seem a bit meh, every teenage fila "casual" has them.

Tried in the red Gazelles and then shat out it.

JD are now selling Bamba at 25 but I wouldn't wear them, they're a bit boring.

So instead got myself a couple of OTS shirts and a PG jumper and Tshirt. When you look in your cupboard and there's 5 different adidas trackies and about 10 different FP polo's, you need to have a word with yourself!

ETA is Oslo not yellow on black?

It was the black on putrid yellow CW I was looking at.

The black with yellow /// is the Cardiff colourway.

They do look terrible in person.

You probably made the right decisions there, every little casual wannabee seems to have Dragon these days, and I completely agree the Bamba are boring - don't have any of them.

Can't go wrong with Pretty Green anyway. :)

I'm currently weighing up buying the zx8000 Fall Of The Wall. Nice, but expensive.
