At some point Woolworth's must've got sued by Adidas because I remember getting the "Extrastripe" kind from there until I was old enough to have a paper round and buy proper Sambas or Kick for myself. As far as classic mod-centric trainers go, I had a pair of Spring Court a few years back and...- kicksinstyle

I hear you, for sure. I basically stopped going to many live gigs even before the pandemic, so I can't really speak to it, but I don't think things are as bad as they used to be.- kicksinstyle

The "revival" (not that it ever really went away) is on, there are tons of young (and not so young) Oi and Oi-adjacent bands adopting the look right now. Some of it mostly sounds more like "hardcore/punk dressed as 80s skins" than classic Oi but there's a fair amount of that too. I'm not an...- kicksinstyle

Nick Davies was the artist, there's an interview with him here that does say he was influenced by Sample among others: http://marcoonthebass.blogspot.com/2009/01/exclusive-interview-with-nick-davies.html Agree with you on the characterizations, very much of their time...- kicksinstyle

yeah they've done that blue and a dark brown, no stone. The current collection seems based around midcentury jazz style inspired by Blue Note album covers so potential for some decent bits. If you try these sta-prest and like them, stock up because like most LVC recreations they will only be...- kicksinstyle

This is true and it's something that's always bugged me when I see (for example) current-day Mods with patches of punk bands on their parkas etc... I mean each to their own but it seems odd. I also see a lot of Trojan Records badges, 'Keep The Faith' patches, etc in use nowadays but not so much...- kicksinstyle

Both look not bad. I prefer the second ones myself as I'm not a huge fan of the toe stitching. I like the reddish-brown colour, more so than pure brown.- kicksinstyle

Yeah I suppose for a select few in the big smoke, punk was about bondage trousers etc, but for the American set (and certainly round my way) jeans didn't really go away- kicksinstyle

Saw a short talk by writer Paul Trynka the other day. He used to edit MOJO and authored biographies of Iggy Pop, Bryan Jones, and others. The talk was on the connection between denim and music. It was flawed in some places but he did make some interesting points, one of which was that each...- kicksinstyle

The Look goes on...
I'm another Scot in the bay area (grew up near Glasgow but moved to SF in 1995), funny I don't recognize you from 'out and about' but then I'm a bit of a homebody these days... we probably know some of the same people though. Maybe we should have a US meetup with Botolph, Yankmod etc since I...- kicksinstyle
