o'neils in piccadilly or there is the sports bar both are good

[CrashTestBrummie]

I'll take some pics tomorrow for the thread...

[heflys]

these arent hand painted?

damn...i want hand painted then

I'm not certain, but I believe you can order from the Evisu.jp site, and they'll do the hand-painted gulls. I believe they also ship internationally.

[mr.invincible]

^ i tried emailed them already, they don't ship to US unfortunately.

[chambo2008]

i ment those looked hand painted

[mr.invincible]

^ are they hand painted?? lol. i gotta translate and see.

Well, that's balls.........Probably don't want to infringe on the international line's business.

^^ They're No.2 denim, right? Not had too much experience with No.2 beyond my jacket, but it could be down to that...

Badly damaged?

actually not really that badly damaged, just a tiny hole in teh lower leg and a tiny tear in the hem, but ill try to patch it up but still, i would prefer they still were unscathed

[lmaozedong]

someone buy my evisu no.1

i honestly cant believe that i've had so much trouble selling these, since the price is like $160 off what you would pay retail..

Missed the game, was done in London early and decided to head back to Brum instead...Loads of pissed up Scousers at Euston this morning though, proper party atmosphere...they might not be so happy now though, eh?

[chambo2008]

[CrashTestBrummie]

Selfridges centenary celebrations, done Evisu style...

[chambo2008]

:)good stuff

[chambo2008]

the deck shoes look good!

[CrashTestBrummie]

The concession was really busy, was hard work getting pics without shedloads of randoms in the background...

[chambo2008]

that last one, was that yamamne deluxe?

[CrashTestBrummie]

Evisu Paris, I think...They had some others in, too:

Paulo brought his Yamane jeans along to get the one pocket painted...Kanji didn't come along until later on as he was flying in from NYC, from meeting Scott Morrison, so Hiroko stood up to the plate:

Outline first:

She also did my 2004s...

Sealing the paint:

The jeans now look brand new:

And I took this when I got back, and thought it was worth sharing because of the way it came out...

[chambo2008]

wow lol, damn really wished i was able to come but really nice to see some pic's

The manager of the Evisu concession, Jonathan, was proper passionate about the whole thing, more so than I'd have expected.

He was talking about how he can't understand why some people run down the daicock designs, for example, when they can't see the evo from the painted Levi's arc on the 1944 501, to the painted Evis gull, to the painted daicock to some of the designs that are available these days.

Say what you will about the current designs, but it was refreshing to hear someone speak from the heart about them...he's a proper trainerhead too, into all the old school Casuals stuff, from adidas to Fila and beyond...next time I'm down there, I'm following some of his leads and going hunting for trainers...

[chambo2008]

my brother works for size he is the area manager he has over 100 pairs of trainers maybe its worth speaking to him plus i can get 40% off

[CrashTestBrummie]

Dammit, you're the second person today to try and tempt me with 40% off stuff haha

[Paulo]

Ill do swaps with 40% off at urban outfitters. lol

[chambo2008]

lol just saying if you see anything on their site www.size.co.uk

he goes to all these shows for nike etc and picks out the stuff he wants in the store really kool, i used to make fun of him when i was younger cuz he had books about trainers

[CrashTestBrummie]

I'll be checking out the Size in Leeds next week...

[heflys]

Sooo much denim, plus a clearly enthusiastic staff.......(sigh). Jealous I am.

He was talking about how he can't understand why some people run down the daicock designs, for example, when they can't see the evo from the painted Levi's arc on the 1944 501, to the painted Evis gull, to the painted daicock to some of the designs that are available these days.

I've always been a fan of the gulls and their aging process; clearly, they are what makes Evisu unique. I've also seen beautifully faded diacocks-even though it takes some mighty bullocks to pull off such a look with confidence. I fear, if they axe such designs, how the brands image will be affected. It'll be just another denim brand with good denim, which is I why I'm anxious to see how Morrison handles things.
