Well old school with the fatties 

Nice faded tab on a 1946 501xx 

I think the dsb with the faded tabs will look great once the jeans are worn in a bit , only thing that put me off buying a pair was seeing the tab on a brand new pair .... this pic has me rethinking my decision not to buy 

Nothing new , just a bump for the thread

It’s ¥36,000 ... about £230, not cheap but not as bonkers. Even with shipping from Japan I would still only pay half of what SoaS are charging.

£230 seems about in line to what similar brands are charging for there own afterhoods so that's fair in my eyes . SOAS just seem to chance there arm with most of ther pricing 

Really is a lovely afterhood , the dual colour looks great and the ribbing is a nice length but no mater how nice it is how can sonofastag be charging £500 for it ? Admittedly I don't know the Japan retail price but the mark-up on this is scary 

There pretty weird as far as construction goes mate . The midsole and toe box are like you said but the outsole seems to have been melted ?? Into the midsole 

Thought the  khaki colour would be a little hard to wear and I hate having items of clothing that I feel I can only wear with certain things .... so I dyed them black 

I'm wearing them with the 50's warehouse 25th , I'm not entirely used to the double cuff but I've hemmed the 46 to wear with no cuff so I think ill keep these as they are for now ( maybe the cuff will grow on me 

Class , had a whippet when I was a kid 

  and I've been telling her how lucky she is for all these years .... 

Getting stocked up on vintage deadstock sneakers for the Nippers site opening 

For 507 day

They look great on you @Flash. As you know l've always been after a pair of military converse high repros but my feet now can't handle most shoes/boots.

Are they more substantial than the ones you got from McCoy's?

Definitely not mate , the McCoys were like tanks .... these are more a rover metro . There not a bad little shoe but lacking a fair bit when compared to the McCoys 

Anyone bought a pair of US Rubber Company trainers ? Are they sized the same as converse/vans ? Just bought a pair of ther high tops and went with a size 8 , I'm usually a 7.5 in vans but they didn't have it in stock

What size are you going up to in the t-shirts?

The t shirts will be small sizes , most likely for ages 4 - 6 years old  ( there isn't a s/m/l size its all number based on the tags ) but ill have measurements up when the site is live ( I'll pm you aswell when I get them in a few days )

just saw this, congratz n good luck @Flash! 

Thanks mate , I'm definitely a bit scared jumping into something new but I have complete confidence in the quality of the product and hopefully that and the dedication I have to this will result in some success with the brand

Can’t believe you’ve no arcs! 

 that would be a dream but getting an angry letter from levis was never in the plan , I'd be sunk before I even set sail 

Mentioned before about always wanting a pair of Jordans , wanted a pair from I was a kid ( never had an interest in basketball though ) but no chance my mum was forking out the money 

Well I still haven't got a pair but I did get a pair of these 

There the Donny 1 , a reproduction of a jordan bootleg called  pro joggs if I remember correctly.  Had a few text conversations with the guy who owns the brand and he seems a really nice guy and instead of giving some nike reseller my money I'd rather support a small business
