I wish I did know how to get in contact with this dude for the deadstock Britishers but again this was 2004 and unfortunately I have no way of getting in contact with him; if I did I'd defo let y'all know, and if I ever do find out how to contact him I'll post it here. I remember seeing a poster on a bus for VIM and they had some shoes that looked like the old skool Bally Aden's (ankle-high lace-up joints) but I'm thinking it was GBX that was making them but don't see them on their site. Funny thing is that I actually bought a pair of GBX fugazi Playboy's not knowing that I could still find the official UK joints, and by the time I found that out I couldn't return the GBX's so I gave them to a friend (I hadn't even worn them) and copped the brown joints from Mike's. I'm that old skool dude just like y'all here ... it's all about authentic for me. I still wear Adidas Superstars with the off-white shelltoe and sole - remember getting them from Jew Man back in the day, back when Alexanders was on 3rd Ave in the Bronx, and there was a Florsheim's on 149th Street and there was a sneaker store right across the street, back then when Pro-Cons were the knockoff Pro-Keds. One of my regrets - back in 2001 I moved and I still had about 7-8 pair of my original Bally's (black suede ankle high laceups, olive green ankle high suede laceups, blue low laceups, two pair of red with creme sole laceups, two pair of tan laceups), and I left them in one of the closets when I moved - was never able to get them back. If they come back out, I honestly wouldn't want Diddy or Jay Z to put them out unless it had the official Bally seal of approval and they were identical in every way ... I wasn't feeling how Jay Z's sneakers cold bit the 80's Gucci sneakers but eventually copped a few pair of them as they were comfortable.
