Borg

Here's something that should put a spring in your step – the Diadora Borg Elite 81 with a limited edition reissue in kangaroo leather.

It's an OG reissue, as well as a tennis and terrace classic, dating back to 1981, as you might have guessed. You can pick up a standard reissue, but this limited edition in two colourways (red on white and gold on white) has that premium upper in a soft, kangaroo leather, along with matching natural gum outsole, form stripe and tongue logo. 

Get a pair while you can, complete with limited edition box, the price is £99.95. Or go for the standard reissue at just under £50.

Adidas reissues women’s 1980s Julrunner trainers

Juhl

We don't feature a lot of women's trainers, but that's for good reason – there are very few classic reissues for women from the main brands. But here's an obscure addition that has just sneaked out by Adidas – the Julrunner trainers.

I think you might have guessed that this is a running shoe, specifically a French running shoe that first saw the light of day back in the 1980s. This reissue is faithful to that original, mixing nylon with suede detailing, throwing in reflective 3-Stripes and a heel patch to finish things off.

Two original colourways to choose from, £75 is the price tag.

Adidas Superstar 80s trainers are back in blue suede

Superstar

Described as being in a 'reverse colourway', this reissue of the Adidas Superstar 80s trainers is certainly an eye-catcher.

Another old school classic so beloved of b-boys, this suede variation has all the usual detailing, with a thinner tongue, less bulk and that shell toe, offered in a royal blue and chalk colour scheme.

Yours for £65.

Black Lace Gathered Dress from Wallis

Posted on | Leave a comment

Blacklace

We often associate black lace in retro fashion with an eighties aesthetic nowadays, but used with subtlety it's a fabric that can lend itself to a wide variety of vintage inspired looks. This Black Lace Gathered Dress from Wallis is one that takes inspiration from many eras, providing a look that's classic yet headturning.

The delicate, loose cut of the capped sleeves is a truly feminine chic, reminiscent of a twenties and thirties look. Meanwhile, the gathered waist and plunging v-neck are more modern, combining some fifties and seventies elements to the silhouette. While meshing vintage inspiration can often be messy, this dress stays subtle and wearable.

It's available from Wallis for £65.

Posted on | Leave a comment

Furni

Back in 2008, we featured the original issue and now, two years on, the Furni x Raised By Wolves digital watch has been reissued in new colourways.

It's true to the original design, which is very much straight out of the 1980s and now offered in a choice of grey, yellow and green. Plenty of functionality too, including phone book, stopwatch, countdown timer and multiple alarm features, along with the option of hourly chimes, 12/24-hour time, water-resistance and indiglo-style backlight.

Get one while you can, as these tend to sell through quickly – price is just $28.
