Adidas Marathon 80 trainers get a light blue reissue

Posted on 3rd May 2011 | 2 Comments

Probably not the best shoes for running a marathon in these days, but the Adidas Marathon 80 trainers are still a handsome Adidas reissue, this time in a light blue colourway.

This lightweight running shoe, first seen back on 1980, opts for that slightly more unusual shade of light blue for the suede and mesh upper, dark blue being added for the stripes and heel piece and black used for the sole.

A good all-rounder with plenty of comfort, it's available for the price of £59.99. See another shot over the page.

Posted on 2nd May 2011 | Leave a comment

Regular readers might recall that we produced a best vintage camera apps article a short time back. If you really want to take that idea to the extreme, you might want to pick up the HipstaCase 100 for the iPhone.

As you might have guessed, this an iPhone 4 case, designed to look like a plastic camera from the 1980s. The one-piece, snap-on case offers 'premium' protection for the iPhone (or iPod touch), a tripod adapter and a wrist lanyard for quick and secure access.

$39.95 is the price at the Hipstamart website.

Polaroid Camera Set at Urban Outfitters

Posted on 2nd May 2011 | Leave a comment

We've still not seen the Lady Gaga Polaroid cameras in the shops, so if you want to go Polaroid right now, you'll have to buy something like this Polaroid Camera Set at Urban Outfitters.

Sadly, Urban Outfitters doesn't give the full model details of the camera in question. We've done some hunting round and not found an exact copy – if you are an expert, feel free to drop a comment below.

But it does offer all the classic Polaroid functionality, with instant snaps developed in front of your eyes in minutes, with some modern-day PX film from Impossible Project thrown in to get you started. A handy flash too, for poor light snaps. £120 is the price of the set, but be warned – refill film packs (also available at Urban Outfitters), do cost £25 each.

eBay watch: Vintage Airstream caravan

Posted on 2nd May 2011 | Leave a comment

We have featured recent models of these, but at a price in excess of £35,000, a new one is out of the reach of most of us. Alternatively, you can rent one for a holiday or you can bid for this vintage Airstream caravan on eBay.

Details are limited on this particular listing, but there are plenty of pictures to tell the story. The few details available say this is a 1976, 31ft, Airstream caravan that has 'just been imported' and is available for delivery. The downside is the state of the inside – let's just say a full refurbishment is required.

But with the price of those new ones being so high, this old model could prove something of a profitable project if you wish to take it on. £3,000 is the price. See the listing for lots of inside shots.

John Lewis 1950s-style Retro Kitchen PVC tablecloth

Posted on 2nd May 2011 | Leave a comment

A functional item with a cool retro twist – this Retro Kitchen PVC tablecloth at John Lewis.

It's a bold and bright 1950s-style illustrated design – pots, pans, storage jars, you know the kind of thing, all on a 'chilli' red background. The idea is it acts as a 'wipe clean' tablecloth, with a length of 2 metres meaning you can cut it to fit pretty much any table.

Grab it online, £32 is the price.
