Trainers

Barcelona is fine for trainers. Wouldn't say it's any worse than London tbh. They might be approx 10% more expensive but at least you can try them on in store. Postage from the UK is very reasonable and sometimes even free.

Absolutley, but Spain will often be overlooked regarding the real exclusive releases which will still be released in small numbers in UK, Italy France and even Germany.

Barcelona has a great selection considering Madrid's is so poor and you could find most things released in the UK in BCN but very little elsewhere.

I would say you save 10% inc international postage! it is not a lot but it is still more expensive than these recenlty 'hiked' up UK prices hence why I thought it worth noting. Yes although prices have been increased it could be worse as we are still not as expensive as Spain, for example.

Living in Mallorca means I refresh my collection every few months when I return to the UK... and I just have to hope some nice shit is available.

As long as Nike keep milking the AM1 and the Blazer and every tom dick n 'arry spends money on them, i'm happy. Hopefully it means the nice stuff when it is released stays on the shelf long enough for me to kop some.
