vintage ADIDAS leisure series KORSIKA leather tassled loafer MADE IN YUGOSLAVIA UK5











vintage adidas 
korsika
made in yugoslavia circa 1980's
new (without box)
UK5

somehow a re-stock of our fave piece of adidas footwear ever & a point of departure from which there is no way back to more athletic 'trainers'! from the under the RADar adi leisure series from the 80's we are not even sure korsika is the correct name of this particular island paradise. featuring heavy duty leather tassles, brass rivets & reach-around capacity it is the capital city of leisure & ultimately presented with our pleasure.

BUY-IT-NOW! ¬

vintage DOLOMITE arctic hiking boots MADE IN ITALY circa 1990






vintage dolomite
arctic hiking boots
made in italy circa 1990
like new
EU40/UK6.5-7

not sure if this post requires commentary. these arctic beasts speaks for themselves.... & they speak my native tongue! i think the designers had ADD.... namely attention to detail disorder. native tribal fleece collar, brass eyelets, speckled laces, sheepskin accents & lining, layered suede panelling, faux fur uppers bonded to gum outsole. absolutely abominable.

EU43/UK9.5

a few years back in that same neglected italian sports shop where i found the infamous step on step i passed up the beast above in favour of his brother. full of regret i went back a year later to find him still there! amongst the commotion, perhaps conjuring multi-lingual skills from a past life, i understood immediately however that there was no right shoe. now i have been known to buy single shoes only, thereby having no conscience holding onto them for my personal stash without any marketability. completely gutted i did not want constant reminder of another 1 that got away so i again passed it up. another 2 years later i passed by only to be compelled by some intagible force to venture back inside where in my broken italian i attempted to re-count the story. the owner then appeared from the basement with said pair in hand!! score! so fellow stock hunters trust yo instincts, & when you can smell a motherload, be sure to follow your knows!
