Four hundred with the box and everything? Fair dos Pete. That's a great pickup.

£400 delivered from Germany to UK sold to me by an Adidas employee who won them in a staff raffle.

Nicely done TheUKPete. I'm curious how you made the connection, are you able to share? Can't believe adidas employees were winning these things back then, seems a little suspect. 

[TheUKPete]

No special connections. Won them on eBay. Bonus was that the seller somehow managed to list them on eBay.com rather than eBay in Germany so they weren't appearing in EU eBay searches so managed to cop cheap. Noticed their PayPal email was an adidas email account so got nosey and asked.

Should start calling you detective Pete.

That's a good deal!
Out of interest, do they say where they were made? And can you take a few more pics of the boring stuff like the bottom of the sole and the inside of the shoe unlaced please? Would help me lots!

[TheUKPete]

Benji I've uploaded some more detailed pics to a photobucket folder that you're free to use. I won't be unlacing them in a hurry though, despite the fact that the laces aren't mirror overlapped and it's driving me nuts. These stay as they came. I can probably snap a pic of the tags under the tongue for you. In the meantime, see the link below.

That's just great. Really interested in what was different in construction. I think I can see all the differences now. Thanks Pete.

£400 for some Top Secrets? Maybe. £1000 for a pair I know I'll never wear? Fuck that. But...if someone else decides that's what they want to spend their hard earned on, I'm all good. I'll tell you why. There's been more than a just a couple of people who've joined this forum and gone off guns blazing scooping up every Supe ever made in a matter of weeks before disappearing up their own arseholes, never to be seen again. Their impulse purchases almost always end up on the bay a few months later. They never ever sell for what they paid for them and we end up with some cracking bargains as they desperately accept our low-ball offers trying to recoup some of the money they've spunked on buying shoes trying to impress internet friends . Everyone's a winner.

Pete, you didn't get the best reception in here cos unfortunately you had already pissed people off elsewhere.

Asking dumbshit questions like "what socks should I wear with these?" and tying fuck off twatty bows in your laces was never gonna work in here.
I'm very happy for you and the trainers you'll never wear.
