Trainers

Have bought some stuff out here seams to be holding, had a chat with a local hardwear shop who said he can order some industrial strength stuff if I want, regs out here are less than uk so I think it will be quite hard core, if I need it. Quite fancy giving a transplant a go in the future. Talking of witch u see the air max / escape mash up?

Dampen down your trainer (laces and inner soles removed) with warm water over the sink. Take a wet nail brush and dab it in washing machine powder or liquid. Gently scrub off the dirt everywhere. Get into all the nooks and crannies. Scrub up til foamy and then rinse off. No matter how wet they get they will dry eventually, gently; on a windowsill is best. Wash or replace laces. Finally, for all-white leathers take a corner of a damp sponge, dip it in brilliant white emulsion paint - yep your standard decorating stuff - and wipe over your entire shoe, pushing emulsion onto the joints and edges of leather. Dry in the sun. Warning: you will need to wear shades when first wearing again. Ask my teenage Nike Air Max wearing daughter. I am her hero. And by doing this I avoided a conversation about expensive replacement.

Thanks for the elaborated answer!
Glad I don't have white trainers, wouldn't be brave enough!

I should offer a drop in service!

Apparently barge cement is all the rage. Is that the one by @jnorrisart?

Yeah thats the one no full pics yet but looks good imo.

I usually see new stuff, get giddy and then hate it. Hoping these might actually end up being credible.

Like the colour way but that toe looks quite chunky could just be the pic.

Morning glories could go for more on the bay ?? They look box fresh too

Never been on footz, mate!

How much should I ask for these Atmos Free Trail 5.0 Premiums? DS, US12... @Pistanator? You've got a pair of these, haven't ya?

You've undervalued the AM1 morning glory - unless you're happy with £550?

I know, I don't think the market will bear anymore down here and I can't be fucked with eBay... What's the 'actual' value right now?

Ugh... Dealing with lowballing fukboiz on Facebook really sucks the fun out of life... Worse than this place... I know! Impossible, right?

Dude don't think yourself out of cash! Put them on eBay, where they'll get closer to market value, and in front of eyeballs of more potential buyers.
You need as much cash as you can get and hassle comes with the territory. So put up with hassle and collect all the cash...

I hadz them but sold them ages ago. No more than about £150 iirc

I'm already queued up.

Thanks, man, not sure if worth selling... It's a pretty sick shoe, possible keeper...

@cornelius_blackfoot I know but eBay is such a stankpit, FB isn't much better but the cash is all yours... The Powerwalls will probably go on eBay, a few cheeky, lowball nibbles but nothing serious...

What size are the powerwalls Joe?

US13, so they won't be big money... I bought what was left on the day hoping I could trade for a US11... Fat chance!

I've seen a DS US11 powerwall m/g go for 425 euros recently. Also I've seen asks for >£1500. I'm inclined to say £400 is actually a good price for a US13.

Gustodaninja - who sells loads into Oz - regularly sells the 2001 Bred DS and it never goes for much over $500

As for the atmos, you might have more luck selling them by someone like Gusto back into Japan.

Adidas, you'd have to pay someone to wear.

Depends if you want a quick and fair sale or wait it out to get more like what you want. A shoe like the powerwall is worth more in a trade at an event than what you might sell it for.

Outside Patta?
