Trainers

I frequently get comments whilst wearing The Tom Sachs Mars Yard. Every commentator is seeming shocked that I'm actually wearing them.

I told you about my Undefeated Jordan 4's right? Sold them at what I thought was top of the market for $1,800

Last time 'my pair' moved was out of flight Club and I think they went for $25,000. Of the 72 pairs I think only 2 were made in US10.5 so pretty sure it was mine.

Been a Footscape obsessive since 1997 when Tim Lovejoy (yes it was him) wore a black pair on Soccer AM with some Maharishi Snopants and I emailed the show from my dial up internet to ask wtf they were. Tim replied!

Ended up interviewing the designer by email for SneakerFreaker

sock racer is nice.

These are gorgeous. Would anyone be interested in splitting the shipping on a pair from Japan? The RRP is about £100 and the shipping is c. £40.

bit like bikes innit, they're a lot more fun to use than hang on the wall.

feeling a bit reticent about using my footscapes for gardening duty now though...

Took delivery of a pair today, among other things..dodged customs, at least!
They turn up on yahoo auction jp, found the pair for ~50eur before post.

Brilliant!

Just remembered about another pair I had which were a sample - kinda brown & gold (also jazzy), never seen another pair like them - another I wish i'd kept even if they were humped...

Footscape is still underrated I reckon.

Still wish I had the Bodegas, same goes for the weird Presto hybrids.

Is a brewery?

Footscapes I still have

OG and retro blue grey
OG and retro black red
OG white teal
Womens OG Grape reissue for men released in Singapore only (?)
White leather 'monster'
Red leather
All three Hideout releases
blue/white fade

They're overdue a proper reissue, why hasn't it happened?

Maybe 2025 30th anniversary like huaraches.

Nerd fact; the Footscape, Rift and Max 95 had sequential model numbers in the 1995 catalogue

Nice - my mate had these & I always liked them, dunno what the official description is

"Fugly"

Air Footscape leather CL from an ACG themed pack

I've ordered the Acid Yellow Cyclosamba for some fresh Summer on/off bike action

If you're ever on mastermind there's your special subject! I thought they were ACG themed but wasn't sure - always had a soft spot for the ACG stuff. The lunar terra vengeance ACG was one of my faves, had the grey/purple ones - might still have an ebay alert for those... another underrated one

Bold choice - they're nice though, like the white too

I liked the blue also but sold out

I had them, bought them in 2001, got them out of the box about 2 years ago, midsole collapsed

Shit - which ones?
