Size? chose the trainers they wanted to do topics on that’s the reason so many never got shown.
Do you have a blog or twitter to follow
@@TomSmith-yc5ptI’m on X and Threads but don’t bother too much with it

I have 2x Austrian Jeans from 1983
@@scottptolomey3498 Austria has done some absolute stunners over the years 👌
Fantastic collection Scott , my old mate Coombsy (RIP) had about 500 pairs i think , i feel a real novice on about 70 pairs . My first pair were also Kick back in the day and i also had a pair of Lendl Pro which to this day along with Diadora Borg Elite are my all time favourite trainers , would love a re-issue of the Lendl. Those Tahiti Marine are stunning !
I was good friends with both Anthony and Alan Coombs was very sad when he passed away ❤️
@@scottptolomey3498 Yeah i grew up with Tony and were good mates , we were in the same class at school in our home town Thetford . Lovely family . Still see Alan from time to time.
Would love to see another run at the athen, got a 2004 and 2016 pair and if there was an amalgamation of the two I’d be all over it
Tahiti marine. Fucking stunning
I had two or three pairs of Berlins and also Dublins, back in ‘83.
Ive seen adidas samba green, and some gazelles but they look nice and blue but different. I buy them on the high street size or jd. Back in 1985 leicester had Mc sports good shop, and supersports.
I have to agree the Adidas Lendl Pro an all time classic of the 80s.
Just gutted I got rid of mine all those years ago😢
Absolutely outstanding Scott some serious time has gone into finding some of those ///Also Scott there is one pair of vintage dublins you have not got it’s a pair with the Stockholm sole 👍
Yes the West Germany version but I’ve mentioned that in the film
But I’ve got some on the way now off a good friend as well as a very rare vintage navy pair of Taiwanese Dublin
It’s called the 3 zone sole also used on the Samba,Universal,Austrian Amsterdam,Austrian Brüssel,München 72 etc
I do now 😉
