the box of shame
as you may know. i'm half-way into my second and final campaign
as an arsenal season ticket holder.
each year, arsenal send a box of 'goodies' out as part of the deal.
i think the 2012 box was smaller than the 2011 effort.
the reveal
er...
and inside the box of shame
some strange postcards, a racistly titled book, the official handbook, a key-ring
some arsenal branded headphones, oh and a fixture list.
i would have preferred it if there was a pie voucher in the box...
and less arsenal stuff.

missoni x converse auckland racer
these arrived at whitfield towers a month or so ago
missoni x converse
i'm not very good at doing a welsh accent, but the word "fantastic" is one of the few
words i can say that sound welsh.
these are fantastic.
i could also say they are lush
that's another word i can say that sounds a bit welsh
but i'm getting diverted here... it's not about my rubbish welsh accent.
it's all about the quality of these shoes.
converse auckland racers done in a collaboration with missoni.
these remind me of a comfortable old cardigan that my grandad would wear
( he was from a little village near bridgend by the way )
amazing material. as with a lot of trainers, you have to see these close-up
to appreciate the details and the quality of the materials used.
i'll be honest with you. these are almost like slippers.
i would say the only fault with them is the white midsole.
they are going to get as filthy as a frenchman if i wear them outside in the
harsh n7 winter.
maybe i'll save them for spring / summer
and just wear them inside for now.
bringing heat to the interior of whitfield towers, n7.

top 20 sneakers of 2012 ( number 4 )

nike flyknit htm
in the grey / volt colourway.
rare. have you ever seen another pair ?
these are the most comfortable shoes i have had on my feet in a long time.
one of my favourite pairs of trainers full stop.
they would probably be number 1 in my list if i had a story about them.
but i don't... i bought them off ebay.
sequence
i had to take some photos of a waitress last week.
after i finished, i took a few photos of the two of us with the
front camera on my phone.

top 20 sneakers of 2012 ( number 5 )

converse all stars
a collaboration between converse and missoni.
i kind of lusted after these from the moment i saw them in colette in paris.
they didn't have my size
( and you know what... i reckon even if they did they wouldn't have told me )
so i went on a bit of a mission to get a pair.
it's a long story but it has a happy ending.
so now i have a new friend and i also have one of the most beautiful to look
at pairs of sneaks in my collection.
converse actually got together with missoni later in the year on another pair of
chucks with even better details than these.
however, this colorway was the hardest for me to get, the ones that i have a story
about and they are number 5 in my list.
