  • I'm going to keep on at DHL for compo. Problem is their CS hotline, even though its linked in the How To File A Complaint page, literally doesn't give you an option to do that. I can either check my tracking (which is still saying "sorry, next working day, bye!") or saying I got left a card, each one just asking me to put in the bloody tracking number and getting told YET AGAIN its coming the next working day. Literally cannot speak to a human abt this.
  • I had a pair of ZX750s go walkabouts via Hermes and the retailer, little old Wynsors, sent me a replacement pair for free via a different courier. Wynsors customer service lady was mega helpful and could even track the Hermes courier and see the address he had claimed to deliver to was a field in Bradford.

    Not if I lose the raffle they won't

    £20 more than standard zx8000 so I'll accept that as my label lover tax, and I do love UNDFTD

  • Those are nice! Good luck cocko!

  • Still fighting with DHL, and in the meantime I had a browse of the Nike sale with the new BRIGHT30 for 30% off code. Of course, the ones that got lost are out of stock now, but I'm tempted by these to help me get over it..

    Something about the 2090 shapes I like.
  • Some cracking deals to be had with that code. They are nice, Gav, good colourway. It's not my kinda silhouette but I can appreciate them.

    These are totally up my street though so couldn't resist wanging in a ticket, size 9. Hope we're not in direct competition, Cocko, and there's a good number of 'winners'. Good luck!

    Nope we're a size out, so glad luck to you too

    Those Maxes Gav, giving me so many vibes, a bit of 180 is the bubble, a little J6 in the tongue cutout for pulling them on, and the colourway is giving me Barcelona Olympic vibes, no just the dream team, but they had some Pegasus and Maxes in a similar colour

  • Gutted I missed out on these for Child 1. They were in my basket for a while, as I browsed the sale...

    Same day as the Air Jordan 4 Fire Red.

    Tough choice.

    Edit: Listing says ‘Draw Opens’. Are they GR or not?

    All I can say, is the recrafted Volt (and Mrs Prime’s pink pair) are the most comfortable 90s, genuinely.

    These Radiant Red are supposed to be as close to the OG that’s been released, and the blue Air Max III that came out a short time ago received rave reviews (even incorporating the forefoot airbag)

    I’ve got the 2010 (I think) pair, and they’re so uncomfortable.

    All other 90s I own/have owned have been fine.

  • Isn't your pair a size smaller than your actual feet tho?

    Haha... no, that was the previous pair. My god, you’ve got a good memory though.

    I sold them, once I’d bought a subsequent reissued pair in the correct size.

    I'm not seeing that in the listing, Mark. Nothing to suggest it won't be a general release. I'll be mad as hell if they pull that shit. The ultimate expression of the AM3/90 needs to be enjoyed by many... AKA me.

    I'd just snagged these last night too from the Nike sale with the extra 30 dizzle before the AM3 release popped up in my feed, for a ridiculous sub £50. My mission to snag all the greatest hits from my youth continues. I never had this colourway and maybe not this exact shoe, but something similar in black and green with the lovely wedged outer sole.

  • Yum. I'm going off those 2090s as I've realised it looks like I'm wearing a can of Pepsi. And on the subject of youth creps, the Air Max Triax USA were ones I had when I was wee... Wouldn't mind them again...

    nike-air-max-triax-usa-ct1763-400.jpg

    I'll keep browsing..
  • I didn't mind the 2090s over the above, I get USA! USA! over Pepsi vibes, plus I like a big tick.

  • Love those Air Cross Trainer. I had a pair of ‘triple black’ back in the day.

    Looks like Nike are due to reissue OG Neon Air Max 95s this year too.

    I should have gotten the red All Star Crater last Wednesday. Don't have them yet.

    Was on chat with Converse yesterday, will get an update email in 24-48 hours. Wondering if that will happen.

    Oh guys, the talk of grabbing all we missed as a kid is I think the essence of why most people buy, those cross trainers and the Pegasus (though mine were in cream) bring back memories. Great choices

  • I always wanted the old school pumps with the ERS in the heels. For those not in the know, Energy Return System.
  • Oh and the old school 180s.
