Five days until release

A classic, the original colourway and still as good as ever. This element of the beckenbauer releases is the essential one for us. As an everyday casual shoe it is right up there with the best and with the current U.K. weather its one that will stand up and be counted.

Six days until release

The Adidas 1609ER is a vintage level only product with a very familiar silhouette. Its fairly obvious what this is. Due to another brand having the name that Adidas wanted to give this shoe they chose this snappy monicker. Its a classic colurway that cant fail really on a great shoe, winner number one for 2010!

Upcoming Puma Top Winner and Roma 68


After the success of the Suede Classics it look like Puma have managed to apply the same good sense to two more of their classics. This time its the Top Winner and the Roma 68. Logically they have take the shapes back to the originals ( no cuts made purely for the sake of being contempory) and used the classic, simple colourways that mde the shoes what they were. The gum sole on the Top Winner is a real beauty although this could be a bit of bias as i have a real soft spot for this shoe.
Due to be released in the second week of December and like the Suede Classic at a very good price, check the Ran Website for them when they're out or our Twitter Account for up to the minute info on release dates.

More Puma Suede Classics


The series of Suede Classics has been a real success so far. Sometimes something comes along and despite personal tatse you wonder if other people understand the stand point this personal tatse comes from. The great reception of this collection is one of those times were you know that people do share that personal taste.
Great shoes in good colours, the right price (why would a re-issue cost so much more than when they were first around, all the R & D has been done, the moulds and lasts are there, where does the cost come from?), and not too many of them around.
The third installment (and last one for this year) are released on the 12th of November and are every bit as good as the two previous. For those who want more than one we have a little something to say thank you , get in touch if you want to know more.
Its a very welcome return to a classic that doesnt get the recognition it deserves in our opinion, it looks like you share our view, thank you!

Adidas X Nom De Guerre Forum Mid

Finally in after what seems like an eternity are the final element of the 5 2 3 package. In typical Nom De Guerre style these are very subtle colour wise but the detailing is outstanding. Fantastic leathers and the zip feature doesnt dominate like it does on the pictures, just brings out the shape of the Forum.
In the Manchester store soon and online tonight.
We are very pleasantly suprised by these, we think you will be too.

EDIT: These are now live on the site Adidas Nome De Guerre Forum Mid

Fred Perry British Millerain Wax Shooting Jacket

Just in today (so up on the site tonight) this hybrid jacket from Fred Perry is very impressive.
A 'Harrington' style jacket using the famous British Millerain waxed fabric with the detailing you'd expect from a field shooting jacket. Padding to the right shoulder and elbows, lined in a tartan check, leather toggles on the zips, snap close pockets and zip cover, the feature list goes on.
And it's made in England
