  1. I've been keen on getting these kicks but realised I am not being catered for at all (I'm a US13/UK12).

    I did realise that there are apparently sellers with multiples of these kicks and it made me wonder: how the hell did someone manage to stock up on 12 pais of these kicks in various sizes (US9-11 especially) without the store actually objecting to the bulk purchase?

    Really sad that genuine enthusiasts are getting screwed as most resellers are asking at least US$400 (excl. postage which is an average of US$30-40).

    I am aware that there are loads of resellers and its not something peculiar but I'm just wondering what the rest of you think or know about the situation.

    BTW How much were these shoes actually sold for originally in the UNDFTD store? I know that Hideout (London, UK) were retailing these for 165quid.

    I just think that there is something not quite right with this....the same has happened in the Drone music scene. Bands like SUNN 0))), ISIS, Pelican release an vinyl album/tour 12" and these get snapped up and appear at 4 times the selling price in a number of mere days...

  2. Hi,

    I've read many of the threads here with great interest and have learnt lots.

    Just wondering what the general consensus is on the OBEY line.

    I bought a couple of T-shirts a while back and they have worn well. The quality is quite good in my opinion.

    Some of the designs are questionable as it would be in any clothing line....

    So, what do you guys think about OBEY as a streetwear label?

  3. Hi,

    Moved to London recently and I've heard alot about this club, Pangea.

    If anyone has any tips on how to get myself onto a guestlist or at least even gain entry, it would be much appreciated.

    I heard the club operates an annoyingly strict admittance policy but the crowd is very nice i.e. not a bunch a obnoxious prats but really decent and friendly happy people...feel free to correct me if I am wrong....

    Also, if anyone knows how to go about getting membership, that info will also be much appreciated....icon_smile_tongue.gif

  4. Hi guys....I am looking for some info on the Head Porter Brownie bag. I've seen a size S and M but naturally I wonder if there is a size L as well? I believe the size M is about Y30,000 (roughly around £150). Any idea on how much a size L will cost will be much appreciated.

    Also anyone have a link to a picture of the Head Porter I-Pod cover?

    Finally, a phone number of the New York store anyone?

    Thanks....icon_smile_big.gif

  5. Its available at Busy Workshop off Carnaby Street in Central London. I was told that they got their stocks in every Saturday and often the new stuff does not see it through to Monday. Its expensive of course. Also it depends on what you are looking for as the stock they receive may not be necessarily the same as the other Japanese stores and vice-versa.

    Check out the rthq website for more infor on Bape and other items of interest. There is a London shopping guide available as well and it takes you on a guided tour of interesting shops in Central London.

    Hope this is useful.icon_smile_big.gif

  6. Maybe someone out there can help.....

    I have a really good friend going up to New York in a couple of weeks and I naturally asked him to check out the Supreme store.

    However, I require some help on a question that has really been bugging me for a while now. I went into Hideout in London and was just shocked at the price of the Supreme T-shirts and bags.

    I am quite sure that I was told not too long ago that a Supreme T-shirt actually retails for about US$25 instore and it is the internet that has caused the price to shoot upwards to close to US$100 in some cases. I saw the Supreme 16th bag in Hideout and its almost £130. I was also told that this price is only a little higher than the instore price in New York.

    Can some please tell me what is going on? I've liked the NWA T-shirt very much (due to being sentimental about listening to them in my youth) but the prices asked on the internet as well as the fear of fakes has not allowed me to get it yet.

    So before I send my mate off to New York to but stuff from Supreme, can someone please explain/enlighten me on prices to expect and the purchase policy in the store? (I was told you are only allowed to buy two items per vist and there is a long queue to just get in the store - true or urban myth?)

    If you got this far, thanks for reading....
