Missed the restock due to travelling Someone get me a pair of Black / Volts in a UK10 and I’ll proxy you some tasty Japanese sweets. Amazing deal right? Fingers crossed for the bigger release.

You should be fine. They are doing a bigger release of the volt and khaki colours in the coming months. You should be able to get a pair then

Link didn't work for me. You can view it here;

Quoting this as I was kinda way off with the pricing. Completely slipped my mind that these come under mainline BBS so the pricing is different. My bad. I'll update with the correct prices shortly. As for the two above questions, I think some mystery is exciting? So I won't say too much. But the cost shoe be similar to current season dyed Bamba's. Delivery dates come down to BBS and when they are ready to ship out. They were really late this season with some stuff. So winter could be as early as July or as late as September. I can't recall usual delivery dates from Boris of the top of my head but I wouldn't be surprised if it was later than July. There wasn't much black at all but there is a real good selection of colours going to be available for FW18.

The short and sweet version; That people are confusing techwear with a certain very limited, popularised by Instagram, aesthetic.

I like Enfin Leve, I wear a pair of their trousers everyday. However, while I think Enfin are doing a better job than a lot of aspiring "techwear" brands. Some of these pieces seem to have taken too much inspiration. I haven't seen any other pictures of that second parka but it looks very BBS-esque and then there's the Acronym similarities.

No problem at all. I'm not entirely sure on what else we may receive for SS18 (I know FW18 but not this season sadly). If we receive any more styles, I'll post another update. It should be the same sizing. The Bamba 2's I wear from FW17 are UK10 / 44 2/3 / US10.5.

Okay, just received a delivery of the dyed Boris x Salomons. I've been told there's a couple of styles delayed but we have received two colours of the mids. I shall put quick images below of the two colours we've just received. If anybody is interested feel free to let me know. We can proceed through Paypal. The shoes won't get online until the beginning of next week, at the earliest. There's a good chance some sizes might sell out by then so I thought I'd give the guys here that are interested a heads up. Sizes are; Bamba 2 Mid Archive Green - UK 7.5 (41 1/3 / US8) UK 8 (42 / 8.5) - UK 9 (43 1/3 / 9.5) - UK9.5 (44 / 10) - UK10 (44 2/3 - 10.5) Bamba 2 Mid Desert Beige - UK 7 (40 2/3 / US7.5) - UK 7.5 (41 1/3 - US8) - UK8 (42 / 8.5) - UK9 (43 1/3 / 9.5) - UK9.5 (44 / 10) Price is €wrong Posted EU / £wrong Posted UK / €wrong Posted Anywhere Outside EU

Value for money wise, I think Enfin trousers are pretty good. The fits are pretty good but don't expect anatomical patterning and so forth. The customer service replies quickly and politely. So far my only issues are their finishing and it seems they never get the size (only ordered standard, haven't gone through with custom order yet) just right. There's always a part or two that's a couple of cm's off. I do plan on ordering at least one more pair to see how it goes though. I would recommend trying a pair of trousers from them, for the price it really is quite good.

My apologies for the extremely delayed response. My head is all over the place as of late. As far as I remember there's 3 colours this season, those that you've all mentioned; orange, beige(y) and green. BBS emailed and they should be delivered to stores very soon.

It's always nice to see someone so motivated and working with something they're passionate about. The little insight into your pattern making was interesting too, thanks for posting that. (P.S I missed the pouch raffle Good luck to those who entered)

Just echoing what these guys have said. You've put in the hard work and it's paying off. Congratulations, well deserved.

Sorry for the slow replies, been extremely busy. Sadly, I've only managed to have a real quick look at them so far but here goes. For the Bamba2's the construction is very similar. The only difference I saw is the new fabric you see around the toe and just above the sole. This is actually lighter and thinner than then the stretch fabric the upper is constructed out of on the the previous seasons iteration. So for the weatherproofing it'd probably be exactly the same. Not great. Though visually they're just as nice maybe even a little more interesting. It's not a stretch fabric though, I didn't have time to have a close look but its thin and "papery". I'll take a closer look tomorrow if I can and try to identify the fabric. We have them in stock, in store now. I can do private sales for you sufu guys. They'll be online as soon as I shoot them for the website. Schedules hectic but I'm hoping next week before PFW. The translucent soles on the speed cross are real nice. Though I'm personally not the biggest fan of them in this colour, they have been done well.

In case anyone would like to know, I've just received the first delivery of BBS SS18 footwear. Don't have the dyed stuff in as of yet but I'll post some quick images below of what there is so far. If anyone is interested, just let me know and I can give you some more information. Thought I'd try and help out the sufu guys by telling you lot first. I'm thinking there might be some people here interested in knowing about this. (Please don't mind the quality of the images, they're quick and the originals wouldn't upload so I had to upload screen shot the image).

As someone who is into product (Amongst many other things, so many that I actually think it's a bad thing) I'm really enjoying this thread. I wanted to go on about how, when I was young(er), I dreamt of pursing a career in product / clothing design and production. But, it's late, I need to go to bed and I can feel my girlfriend giving me evils from across the room. So I'll keep it short and sweet. This thread is amazing. Incredibly inspiring and I've enjoyed reading everything tonight. I look forward to seeing more and wish you the best for the rest of challenge. Keep up the great work!
