Adidas London trainers reissued in navy blue suede

London

it is the trainer reissue that keeps on giving, with the latest release of the Adidas London trainers coming in a navy blue suede.

Originally a 1970s shoe as part of the Adidas City Series, it's back here in much the same shape, but with an upper in navy blue suede, along with white detailing and a chocolate gum sole, plus that dimpled tongue.

You can pick up a pair right now online at the Size? store, with a price of £57.

Trellick With Margo Selby bag range at People Will Always Need Plates

Trel

We saw the two collaborate on some Bus Blind fabric earlier in the year, but we haven't previously encountered Trellick With Margo Selby bag range at People Will Always Need Plates.

As the name suggests, the range is inspired by the facade of Goldfinger's iconic Trellick Tower, with a choice of colours and designs – a blowing bag, pencil case/make-up bag, purse, washbag and weekender bag. Oh yesa, there are also cushions too, which obviously aren't bags, but we'll not quibble over the detail.

The bowling bag is available in two colour options and sized at 35 x 23cm, with leather contrasting the Trellick cloth. £160 is the price for this, see the rest of the range on the website.

Lego Space Shuttle Expedition set

Space_shuttle

It might have ceased flying this year, but the Space Shuttle will always be an icon of the 80s, when it changed the face of space travel. It could change the face of a wet Sunday afternoon too if you invest in the Lego Space Shuttle Expedition set, especially if you have kids to entertain.

Yes, you can recreate the craft, with a Lego version standing at standing 44cm tall and around 25.5cm from wing tip to wing tip. The model features realistic engines, retractable landing gear, an opening cockpit with seats for two astronauts, opening cargo compartment with a crane that can hold the satellite and a ground maintenance vehicle. There are also three minifigures – one male, one female and a service crew member.

All of which needs building, which might be trickier than you imagine. if you want it, you can buy it from the online Lego store for £81.99.

1980s Puma Bluebird trainers reissued

Blue1

A gem from the 1980s reissued, with these Puma Bluebird trainers certain to be of particular interest to Cardiff City supporters.

Why? Well, the colour scheme for the two reissues (the other pictured over the page) are inspired by the home and away colours of Cardiff City. Who are, of course, nicknamed The Bluebirds – and whose fans took up these shoes 'back in the day'.

Anyway, aside from that, this 1982 trainer, originally a lightweight running shoe, has a suede upper, leather lining, a natural colour injection moulded PVC sole and a gold foil decal. Both pairs retail for £65.

Red Ditsy Floral Print Vanity Case at Topshop

Topshop1

Big thanks to Soo Miles, who spotted this Red Ditsy Floral Print Vanity Case at Topshop and shared her find with us. We're now sharing it with you.

It is pretty much what it says, a vintage-style vanity case with a retro floral pattern and equally period 'grab' handle, fastener and trim (the latter matching the handle). Open it up and you'll see the Topshop label, which gives the game away a bit, but we don't think that matters too much.

Want one? You can secure one online for £45. See a shot of the case open over the page.

Midcentury-inspired Oliver Rocker by & Then Design

Oliver

It's a design team we have mentioned before, specifically with its lounge chair and cabinet collection, but the Oliver Rocker by & Then Design has slipped under our radar for some reason.

Not anymore, here it is. Inspired by 1950s Scandinavian design, this midcentury-style gem is available in both beech (pictured above) and oak, with the frame created using traditional woodworking techniques. Once complete, it is finished off with an upholstered cushion with a deep-buttoned pattern.

A timeless piece, that's for sure, it's priced from £860.
