Adidas launches A.039 Gazelle OG trainers

Posted on | Leave a comment

Samba1

The online launch of the Adidas Manchester trainers was a b it messy to say the least, so my confidence in Size? isn't what it was – but it does seem to be the only retailer selling these Adidas A.039 Gazelle OG trainers right now.

The A.039 name is apparently derived from an internal code which adidas used for its particular shade of blue and indeed, this Gazelle reissue is offered in blue (pictured over the page) and the green above. The Gazelle is a 'back to basics' original shape, complete with suede and fabric upper, two colours of laces (just in case you get bored of the first colour) plus gold adidas branding on the side.

£54.99 will secure you a pair online.

Lendl

The sun is out, the sky is blue and our minds turn to summer sports of cricket and of course, tennis, not to mention the clobber associated with it. Like this classic Adidas Originals Ivan Lendl track top.

First released in 1982 as a twist on the Superstar track top and forever associated with the Czech tennis legend, the top has the distinctive Argyle print detailing, the period Adidas branding and a Trefoil zip detail.

Limited numbers as you would expect, available at a price of £69.

eBay watch: Size? exclusive Adidas Manchester limited edition trainers

Posted on | 6 Comments

Adidas_manchester_size

As some of you might recall, the retailer Size? is selling classic, limited edition Adidas Manchester trainers and tracktops for its 10th anniversary, some of which were sold instores over the weekend, the rest being sold online this morning.

If, like me, you were one of the people trying to buy some, you'll probably have found a frustrating and in the end, almost shambolic procedure. Being informed there was no stock at the end of the billing procedure (after previously securing some online), even getting a cancellation email after an order was confirmed. Not good at all.

But where there's demand, there is always supply – and a number of the lucky few have decided to stick their (not very) prized possessions straight onto the eBay website. So if you have money to spare, sellers are already asking anything between £100 and £300 for a pair of the £69.99 trainers. Yes, really. If you want to browse what's currrently there, follow our link to the trainers currently being sold.

Duffer

Yes, Duffer of St George is still out there and if you dig deep enough, still making interesting items too – like the Burnside Sweat Cardigan.

Inspired by the preppy, collegiate look, these vintage-style knits offer up that large college-style badge, chunky buttons, slants pockets and of course, the most obvious selling point, that 'shawl' collar.

Not too expensive either. £44.99 is the price and you should be able to find them at JD Sports online.

Vilas2

Not content with knocking out a stylish pair of trainers in the late 70s, Puma teamed up once more with Argentinian tennis ace Guillermo Apolinario Vilas in the early 80s to produce another iconic tennis shoe – the Puma G. Vilas 2.

Another terrace classic 'back in the day', the slimmer Vilas 2 (compared to the original), features a simple and clean nubuck upper with a perforated toebox, gold printed branding on the side and tongue and finished with a soft cushioned lining and sculpted PU midsole.

All white is the colourway, £54.99 is the price.

We featured this way back in February, but now the latest Blank Canvas range from Fred Perry is available to order, a collaboration with iconic department store Liberty of London.

The first batch of designs inevitably includes a classic polo shirt (with vintage Liberty print inner collar), but there's also a short-sleeved shirt (above) and a Harrington jacket (pictured over the page), along with some Fred Perry pumps.

More is certain to follow, but check out the initial batch online now. Prices vary, but as a guide, the polo shirt sells for £85.
