Chucks That Suck #6
I'm resurrecting this occasional post because they are doing it again! This time, the "100 Cany Peepz" model. Even the name sucks.

Jeremy Scott Adidas Boxing Boots
So, another designer has taken a stab at redesiging the classic adidas boxing boot. This time, it's a leopard-skin retread of the the classic Box Champ Speed model, with a Tygun II style sole. What do you think?
It's nice to see that this classic boxing boot is still a source of inspiration but why do they have to come up with designs that only a woman would wear? And aren't there plenty of superb adidas boxing boots in their back catalogue that deserve a re-issue instead?

Plimsolls portraits
As I'm seriously into my white plimsolls right now, here's three black and white portraits of a pile of white hitop plimsolls, formerly sold at River Island (where only the lowtop version is now available, sadly) but now on sale at the ludicrously-named Mr Shoes chain, for the ludicrous price of £19.99.

More new plimsolls!
More white plimsolls to add to my growing pile, this time some Gardiner white hitops plimsolls purchased from www.cult.co.uk. An all black pair too (photos to follow soon). I love them, especially those etched toecaps.

The Return of Rucanor
Rucanor is a sports brand name I remember well from my youth, so it's interesting to see them making a return. Visit their homepage at http://www.rucanor.com/. These screengrabs show some of their re-issued/revamped sneaker line and some of the canvas plimsoll/baseball-style hitops are really taking me a long way back. These are shoes I really coveted when I was a lad.
The only downside - they don't yet appear to be available in the UK. Sort it out, Rucanor!

This second shot shows the contrasting colour and texture of the rubber toecap, sidewall and sole.

Bridging in red
Nice bridge there but I don't think it's going to save him.
Nice to see those vintage adidas shoes still in action - especially those great red Adidas Pins.
