Future Size? Releases

Two future releases from Size? here. Firstly we have the Adidas Jeans in a Navy / Red colourway then a pair of the Adidas München in a Green / White colourway. I like the look of both pairs to be fair, both are superior to the recent Adidas Dublin in my opinion and both will look good with a pair of cargo shorts down the beer garden in the summer.

The Adidas München were also first released in the 1970s (1979 to be exact) and were, like many Adidas models, designed as a training shoe before becoming very popular as casual footwear with features such as their unique sole making them very popular with trainerheads across the globe.

Originally intended to be worn with jeans, the Adidas Jeans were very popular in the 1970s. The splash of yellow between the upper and the outsole and the gold lettering are the trainer's two most prominent features.

Both models were reissued late last year in different colours. Expect them to retail at around £65.

Recent Purchase - Dickie's Steel Selvedge Denim

Good denim is a crucial part of the look.

I've never quite understood the reluctance of some people to not bother with putting on a nice pair of jeans. You can see many a lad with a smart jacket, smart trainers (or shoes) yet in between he'll be wearing some bad fitting jeans, often by Blue Harbour or another budget brand. There's nothing wrong with Blue Harbour; it's good for the essentials, but I feel good denim is worth putting some money into as jeans can last for a very long time provided that you take care with them.

Selvedge denim appears to be all the rage at the minute. Everywhere you look brands are churning out their own range of selvedge denim – APC, Paul Smith, Studio D'Artisan etc.

I've opted for a pair of Dickie's Steel Selvedge Denim Jeans having been impressed with what I read and noticing a bargain price for them on the web.

The denim used is made from Zimbabwean cotton, which is regarded as some of the best out there while the selvedge denim is woven in Japan using vintage shuttle looms in order to provide a product with great aesthetics, longevity and feel.
