Now, this stuff by Reebok and Garbstore really is tremendous. It’s all very well reaching back into the 80s and 90s to rehash not-forgotten-classics, but taking the technology…
I’ve got a confession to make. I’m starting to actually like some of these new football boots, with their mad patterns and laces which are conspicuous by their…
OMG OMG! That sole! That suede! Seriously though, off the back of the whole SPZL thing, adidas really have stolen back their crown as main trainer people in…
Ok, so they’re not the suede and crepe we usually espouse on here but once in a while it’s good to change things up. And what’s not to…
If you’re the type of guy who likes to daydream about a different career in the forces or travelling around the globe on a really big ship, Albam…
It might be brass monkeys outside but this suave selection of summery sartorial sunshine has just dropped into Oi Polloi and I felt compelled to share it with…
Created with the ‘modern urban lifestyle in mind’, these New Balance are due to drop on 11th February, just in time to lend impetus to your stuttering start…
Remember when Albam announced themselves on the scene the best part of a decade ago? Their refined, near-perfect take on a traditional fishing jacket inspired dozens of brands…
For their latest project, the good people from The Rig Out have conceived a three way partnership with Denmark’s famed Hummel brand and UK football know-it-alls Soccerbible. The…
Thank goodness for footwear. Not only are these really smart, they’re also seasonally sensitive due to their use of GoreTex. And from a purely selfish point of view,…
Imagine your little cousin and her Dad won a competition where they got to design a shoe. This is what they’d end up compromising on. Something old, something new,…
Back in work this week. 2016 eh? What a load of old shite. What are we to do though? Looking back makes no sense, so let’s make 2017…
They’re not afraid to dig deep for inspiration at New Balance. Whether it’s pubs, mountains or football, there’s always something on the table. Most recently, the MIUK Yard…
I play football with this lad. He’s really good. Running, kicking, tackling, he can do it all. He’s like I’d be if I was taller, younger and hadn’t…
I was watching the video for Last Christmas by Wham before, because I’m allowed to do that in my job. It was all cable cars and cable knits.…
My Uncle Graham (not his real name) can make a bats wing out of a part of his body it’s best not to mention. It’s a Christmas Party…
Back in early 2006, we decided for a laugh we’d put a ‘lads fanzine’ together. A couple of hundred people bought something we largely printed on a £40…
Wait, what? A trainer which made its name as a timeless football shoe is now being nicked by the skating fraternity? Is this what those who fell in…
Good for all seasons? That’s their motto isn’t it? And it’s got a ring of truth, tbf, imvvvvho. Whether you like your seasons warm, cold or festooned with…
Imagine a Gazelle and a Samba had a one night stand and then twins popped out 9 months later. A boy one and a girl one. That. That’s…
For the price of this, you can get yourself three Proper Mugs, but sometimes it’s nice to mix things up. I’ve got one of these and frankly, it’s…
