At least £200 sounds a more reasonable retail for the diamonds - bit gutted with the selection though. Could've chosen an expensive pair of soops that had some history to them (e.g. 35ths) and represented the "culture" more but alas, that's journalistic endeavours thesedays.

Yeah, £200 would be a fair price but they never were that cheap ?!?

We could make a few quid opening a shop there
Good find though mr p even if it is clearly bullshit

Reckon the reporter's a N*ke head. 50% of the images are N*ke, and alot of the content too.
I'm amazed by the 35th's!!! How can the anniversary release of 35 trainers (with a large number of rare ones included) be condensed into just 3 and a half lines of print????
Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?

All Nike SBs are limited editions. I laughed, by that logic everythings a limited edition until they reissue a colourway/scheme.

Pretty sure the reporter is a white pump wearing media hatstand.
Charlie gave him my number cos they wanted Londoners for it but they ended up running with just one collector rather than the 4 they originally asked for.
Seems they wanted to make the angle of the piece about making money off trainers at a difficult time.
Looks like they missed the point of collecting completely and got the facts wrong with it.
They should've spoken to Robrim to see how much money can't be made out of trainer collecting these days.

That's why I very rarely read newspapers now, aside from the Observer now and again, there's always an angle that the reporter has gone down, rarely do they print facts these days.
white pumps! I bet they were something by diesel or paul smith.

I love newspapers... its fantastic reading day old news and poorly researched articles based on the writers own narrow minded views

Just read through it again, the reporter obviously knows absolutely nothing whatsoever about collecting any brand, it reads like a primary school report.
