This week, I have been mostly buying...

tinx · 13-Apr-2005, 15:31

Went to London on Monday, and bought.. (as well as a new jumper)...

Only just found the maharishi shop in Covent Garden, had a monster day. We didn't start shopping until about 3:45pm, and we had to be back at Victoria Station at 6:45. Anyway, we spent a while in Oxford Street Topshop, with the girlfriend getting all excited :/ We didn't head back along to Covent Garden til about 5:30pm

I did get the below jacket though, from Urban Outfitters for only £25. Bargain I thought, exactly the same camo I wanted for ages remember Sonic?

Anyway, we had a good time in London - did a bit too much sightseeing for it to be a hardcore shopping trip, we weren't clever with our time really. I missed out on;

Paul Frank
Foot Patrol
Bape

AND meeting fingerz (pm mate).. All in all, a good trip, bloody boiling, and I was sick of bloody marathon trainees!!

blurr · 13-Apr-2005, 15:36

CUBT

I want a pair of those.

mind you they look really small, what size shoe are you? bet you had to get a size up?

Larenzo4 · 13-Apr-2005, 16:01

nice shoes mate.. how much were they? im off to london soon when pay day comes

blurr · 13-Apr-2005, 16:02

£50 from the maharishi store yes?

tinx · 13-Apr-2005, 16:10

Yep, I'm sure they've put them up from £45 since they were featured in FHM >(

Larenzo4 · 13-Apr-2005, 16:28

what a sick deal... hey u guys live near london by any chance?

tinx · 13-Apr-2005, 16:34

I live in Newcastle!

Larenzo4 · 13-Apr-2005, 16:42

that was a mission you jus did newcarstle to london phoar. well its jus me i live only 15 mins from london. but i normaly shop in bluewater since everything all in one centre. well jus seeing what you bought making me want to go spending spree grrr

tinx · 13-Apr-2005, 16:49

Well no, I flew to visit my girlfriend near Portsmouth and we travelled up on the megabus!, which cost us £4.50 each.

I'm disappointed I didn't get more tbh. Covent Garden is great.

[!$$ueS] · 13-Apr-2005, 17:07

Aye i liked them maharishi camo shoes, didn't look very comfortable though. Hanon got some more of the green ones in at £35 (all gone since i last looked), i hope they get the camo in at a cheap price.

You didn't miss much in the Bape shop, wasn't much in though i got a t-shirt

Also think when i get back to Uni i'll buy a New Era Yankees camo cap they look so cool.

Jamey · 13-Apr-2005, 17:12

That camo box is wicked. And the reflective tongue's cool too.

Yeah it was a shame we didn't meet up, although I was working Monday and Tuesday so it would've been fleeting at best.

blurr · 13-Apr-2005, 17:34

heheh issues thats why you need to get down there on saturday morning when they get their new stock in, with all the jap kids, who queue up outside!

Jamey · 13-Apr-2005, 17:39

Tis true, sadly.

Although I got my Skullstas on a weekday. But then I do have abnormally big feet and that colour (while I like it) wouldn't have been the most popular. I think the purple ones with the yellow star arrived in the same batch and I suspect those were 'the' ones that week.

Larenzo4 · 13-Apr-2005, 18:04

i take you guys met up and spent all your money then. love to have join you guys but im some how have just penny in my pocket lol.

Jamey · 13-Apr-2005, 18:08

I'd love to meet you too but, unfortunately, I have no idea what you're saying.

Larenzo4 · 13-Apr-2005, 18:13

hahaha sorry! what i was ment to say is! hello mate how are you?? i would love to come and go shopping but only thing i can do is window shop :/ sucks where u from anyways?

Jamey · 13-Apr-2005, 18:16

Just south of Croydon, which is a London Borough (again south).

You?

Larenzo4 · 13-Apr-2005, 18:21

croydon lad eh! your not far then dude im from sutton lol. so i guess you go out to croydon alot on the night out?

[!$$ueS] · 13-Apr-2005, 21:47

Of all the colours of the skullstas, yours has been my favourite fingerz. Are they still producing these shoes, as i may try get some in the summer.

Jamey · 13-Apr-2005, 21:50

Ish - I assume they're still doing them. It's like anything else they do, small runs, available for a short time, no announcements, no website etc.

Larenzo - yeah, for my sins. Although not as often as you'd think.

blurr · 13-Apr-2005, 21:51

I think conceptshop.hk are having a bit of a sale on them issues, might be worth checkin out!

tinx · 13-Apr-2005, 22:11

I was glad I didn't go to bape. I was reading about the guy and hes so pretencious, its also to do with the fact that I have no money

blurr, they are size 10. I asked for that straight away and it was fine. Good fit. Funny sole like, they felt odd after having wore Superstars all day. But now I try them they're canny comfy.

I'm looking for another pair of trainers, perhaps nike term hi's or something. I want something new and cool, that nobody will have and that will be a bit funky

blurr · 13-Apr-2005, 22:13

hmm, I found the leather day shoe the white one, a size smaller than normal, would've preferred a uk11... dunno if I should risk getting those in 10... or just get it a size up at 11

Sandles!

tinx · 13-Apr-2005, 22:15

Hmm, well I'd say just get a 10 but there are always funny 1/2 or 1/5 sizes of feet heh. Anyway, I like the white ones, they look great but you've got a similar pair already right? The only difference is the pink/orange camo on the insole?

Very nice though.

blurr · 13-Apr-2005, 22:16

sorry yeah I do, I meant I don't know whether to go for uk 10 or uk 11 for the shoe YOU have, as thats the ONE I've been wanting a while

tinx · 13-Apr-2005, 22:17

Heh, Neutron I bought a pair of Birkenstocks about 18 months ago, and they're brilliant! They weren't quite popular then, but I've worked them in now and they're so comfy.

Did mean a few days of deep pain but I got over it

I see blurr, what size have you got in the other white pair?

blurr · 13-Apr-2005, 22:19

uk10, pinched like hell, infact it squashed my toes up, sold em to a mate of mine in the end for £32

tinx · 13-Apr-2005, 22:27

Serious? After how many wears? I bet they got dirty when the air touched them! I'd go for 11 then, unless they do half sizes. Anyway, bigger is better than smaller heh.

Thats why I wish I'd ordered IB's when they were offered to me in 11 :'(

blurr · 13-Apr-2005, 22:29

yeah, I wore em 3 times, theres some faint indigo dye stains from my jeans, but managed to get all the dirt off etc with antiseptic wipes. So when he got em, he could have eaten his breakfast off it
