Following on from the Adidas Nastase, another classic trainer has got the premium treatment – the Adidas Rod Laver Tournament Edition trainers.
An understated classic from 1977, this new version of the timeless tennis shoe comes with a premium leather upper, suede detailing, the Laver name on the heel and a vintage effect rubber sole.
Sold in a collector's Tournament Edition box and in very limited numbers, you can pre-order now for £79.
Got a frustrated rock star in the family? Get them one of these vintage personalised gig posters.
The idea is simple, but rather clever – get a load of old rock poster designs, then produce them with a personalised name, be it your name, a friend, a band name or the name of that band you had at school that never quite got off the ground (Lemon Curd in my case). You can even use it for a poster for your current band, saving the cost of a designer.
Once you've sorted that, get it printed as a poster, canvas or wood block and have it delivered to your door. Check out the site for all poster styles available, with prices starting at £29.
Well, with the new version currently underwhelming us on Five, it seems like the perfect time to reissue the original Minder in its entirety, namely Minder – The Complete Collection.
That title says it all, this is the original (and indeed classic) TV series, which ran originally from 1979 to 1994 over 10 series, with George Cole as wheeler dealer Arthur Daley and Dennis Waterman as Terry, his 'Minder'. Over 33 discs and 108 episodes, you can watch some of the finest comedy drama ever produced in the UK, as the pair make a living (one more than the other) on the mean streets of London. There's even the full-length feature film on here as a bonus (Minder On The Orient Express), along with all the usual DVD extras and commentaries.
Trust me, it's every but as good as you remember it – probably better – and in a different league to the remake. Look out for it from 16th March 2009, priced officially at £129.99 (but likely to be discounted by the big retailers).
Looking for a radio with character for your kitchen? Maybe the Sony XDRS7W DAB radio will fit the bill.
Taking gadgetry of the early 70s as inspiration, the XDRS7W is available in various colours, all with both FM and DAB radio, a two-line info display screen, auto tuning (including 20 presets) and when you do get round to some cooking, there's also a 1 – 120 minute timer built-in.
Check out all the colours at John Lewis, all retailing for £44.95.
Whilst researching some of the Robin Day vintage reissues we've featured of late, we spotted this modern, but distinctly retro design from the great man – the Robin Day Avian armchair and sofa range.
Take your pick from an armchair or two.three-seater sofa, all with stainless steel legs, armrests of formed plywood with oak veneer and a seat and back upholstered in a choice of coloured fabric of leather.
A mid-century vibe using modern production techniques, with prices starting at around £1,400.
We featured the Adidas Vespa trainers a shirt while back, but now there's some clothing too – including the Adidas Vespa track top.
A typical vintage track top, with classic Adidas stripes and logo, along with branded arm vents and high collar. But as it's also a Vespa collaboration, it's also got the Vespa logo on the breast, as well as a large stitched Vespa logo on the back – check that out over the page.
Strictly limited numbers, you can pick one up for £69.
