As you may well know, I have a love of trainers. If I could spend all my money on caps and kicks then I probably would, but you know, adult things like grocery shopping, washing powder and electricity make sure that I can’t do that.
Anyway, as you may well also have noticed, I love the guys at Shelflife down in Cape Town… We had a bit of a chat and I told them how much you guys (my followers) loved sneakers and between us we thought it’d be a nice idea to help you guys improve your kick game.
So, I’m very happy to announce that, starting on January 7th (my birthday by the way ;)…) the legends over at Shelflife are giving me R1000 every month to giveaway to you lovely people!
Every month there will be one R500 and two R250 vouchers up for grabs that you can then use to put towards whatever your heart desires on shelflife.co.za! Sound good? Consider it done 😀 That’ll be happening over on my Twitter!
Anyhoo, to get 2016 up and running, here is the first #SneakOfTheMonth. They’re called “Nikelab Court Force x Undercover – Bamboo” and they are STUNNING.
Nikelab Court Force x Undercover
Price: R2099
Undercover, a Japanese label founded by Jun Takahashi, celebrated 25 years of existence last year, and Nike thought they’d help them celebrate in style by letting Takahashi take control of a pair of Court Force Highs.
Not only are these kicks incredibly good looking and made of premium leather, but they’re also exclusive to Shelflife in South Africa. You won’t find these NikeLab babies anywhere else. They aren’t cheap, but they’re worth that few extra rands that you’ll pay out. I mean just look at them!
My take: 8/10
I’m a sucker for limited edition stuff and these just look very sick. Love the colour scheme and I reckon they’re comfy AF too.
SNEAK FACT!!! – Jun Takahashi was also the lead singer in a Tokyo Punk band called the Tokyo Sex Pistols, you know, when he wasn’t designing kick-arse clothing.
I would like to know the procedure for buying for someone who is based outside Cape Town?
You can buy on their site bro 🙂 It’s free delivery all over SA!
It’s tough for sneaker heads, all the sneakers I want are only available on pre order, like the Air Jordan 1 BHM, Jordan 4, No Yeezy Boost 350 Oxford tan sold out on pre order,even that Nikelab Court Force has no size UK 11..
