I'm a Sneaker Freaker!

Ok, so I'm in my final stages at uni and underway with stack loads of work to do. Ive been looking into trainers as a concept for a design project since it's something I love, but it's also torture at the same time because there's so many beautiful trainers I want to buy! The great thing about researching into trainers is that I've learnt so much about the history of trainers and feel like I know what I'm buying in terms of what models are classics and the story behind the different brands, which may I say are very interesting. I was surprised by what the oldest trainer brand actually is.
Yesterday I went to size? in London and the array of trainers is fantastic, all the brands you could expect, plus more, including vintage, retro, customised and exclusive editions. I was finally able to pick up some trainer magazines too, which I was beginning to think were non-existent in shops! I picked up the latest edition of Sneaker Freaker which retails at $10 and Sole, retailing at $7.99. size? were selling both for £4.99 so it was a reasonable price. Sneaker Freaker is a quirky little magazine, showcasing a whole breadth of trainers for the sneaker connaiseur with interesting interviews with collectors and new launches. Sole is a dedicated basketball trainer magazine with lovely photographs of trainer details and plenty of interviews with basketball stars. Looks like i'll be heading back to size? more often to get my issues...not to mention a new pair of trainers too :)
On a quick note, my asos satchel bag that I've been wanting for so long is back in stock at last! Snapped up that straightaway, so cant wait to get it in the post :) Loving the new free delivery aswell, makes it all the more tempting to shop there now...
