Love Em But Can't Wear Em! -
Ads - 22-11-07
Realised last night that out of maybe 25 pairs of Superstars I only regularly wear maybe half a dozen pairs.
Some I REALLY like but they just 'dont look right on!' namely:
Underworlds - dont look right with jeans!
G5 Camo - Look odd, dont go with anything I wear!
Gum Toe Skates - look too wide on me!
Vintage Elephants - Too delicate, easily dirtied, hard to clean!
Ones I seem to hammer:
Vintage Bordeaux (Mmmm favourite!!, pub shoes)
Vintage Yellow shell / sole - Dark Olive (again..pub shoes)
Vanilla SS2's (casual with jeans)
White toed graffiti GRF's (with shorts or combats)
Does anyone else seem to hammer some and neglect others?

I've got a few pairs of beaters (all blue ss2s, vintage ss1s with red stripes and a pair of vulcans) that I wear at work. The rest I wear when I want, except my new yorks because I don't want to ruin them.

Magic Eraser can help, and a toothbrush! Duck Tape around the hems.

only ones I haven't worn yet are the Bad Boys.. I can imagine they are real dirt magnets!

I were pretty much all mine on a regularly rotational basis, although my vintages probably get more than their share of wear

no kidding! light gray suede seems a little too impossible to keep clean.

Mine are in a couple of stacks, so everyday I try and wear the pair that is at the bottom of the pile and then put them on the top so they rotate themselves... so sad... but that don't always work out if it's raining etc
