Not just one colour back on the market, there are six colour options for the reissue of the 1970s Nike Pre Montreal Racer trainers.

eBay watch: 1970s Merrow Associates rosewood and chrome sideboard
We're big fans of Merrow Associates, although most pieces on eBay are either overpriced or the same designs over and over again. This Merrow Associates rosewood and chrome sideboard is something a little different – it seems to be a one off piece.
Size? exclusive reissue of 1970s Adidas Forest Hills trainers now available
We saw some appalling David Beckham variants of these earlier today, so it's nice to see balance restored with this Size? exclusive reissue of the Adidas Forest Hills trainers, which goes back to year one for inspiration.
First produced in the 1970s and named after New York's Forest Hills tennis centre, this tennis shoe turned terrace classic, with its lightweight NASA technology, has been consistently popular and regularly reissued, most recently in a 'bold' coloured version and a grey and blue combo, both of which got mixed reactions.
The new version goes old school – white leather upper, metallic gold stripes and 'sunshine' outsole – a reissue that's part of the Archive collection and exclusive to the Size? chain. Available now online – but not for long.
eBay watch: 1970s Ekstreme Chair by Terje Ekstrom
I think the new ones retail for between £600 and £700, so this Ekstreme Chair by Terje Ekstrom seems quite a bargain.
Ekstrom originally designed it back in 1972, but the chair didn't go into production by Stokke (now Varier) until the 1980s. As much a piece of sculpture as a seat, it's got a metal frame with a cushioned cloth covering and by all accounts is very comfortable.
This example is described as being on 'good condition', with some stitching to the main seat. So not perfect, but at £100, priced well.
