Adidas Gazelle Indoor OG and Gazelle Indoor trainers reissue

Posted on | 1 Comment

Gaz_indoor1

Not just another Gazelle reissue, this Archive Pack reissue is the Adidas Gazelle Indoor OG and Gazelle Indoor trainers.

The more premium Adidas Gazelle Indoor OG is above, an indoor version of the classic Gazelle (as you might have guessed) with a T-toe overlay and transparent sole. This onwe is sold in the original packaging and with a full leather lining. Because of that, it's the higher-priced, retailing at £105 for this limited edition. You can pre-order now.

See over the page to see ther standard Adidas Gazelle Indoor, which has a slightly different profile and lacks that packaging and leather interior. It's presumably sold in bigger numbers too. The standard Gazelle Indoor is certainly cheaper though, with the black and white variation selling for £65. That's also available to order now.

Size? exclusive reissue of 1970s Adidas Forest Hills trainers now available

Posted on | 1 Comment

Forest1

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.

ReCover iPhone4 Case – turn your phone into a retro gadget

Posted on | Leave a comment

Cover

Interesting idea, if you think your mobile phone is looking just a little too 'modern', you can always stick on a ReCover iPhone4 Case and throw it back in time.

It's a practical item, designed to protect our investment from bumps and scratches – just clip it on (it doesn't block your camera) and you are away. But once on, with the aid of those clever graphics, your phone starts to look like a game controller, a calculator or an SLR camera. Depending on which one you buy obviously.

Talking of buying, each one costs £12.99.

Ranch1

If modernism with great views appeals, the US looks like the place to be, judging by the Parker Residence in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

An impressive, almost futuristic residence, it's actually nearly 50 years old, the work of architect Foster Rhodes Jackson in 1964. It looks stunning now, it must have quite a site when constructed 'back in the day'.

Nice design and right now, a nice price for this large 1950s midcentury-style coffee table.

According to the seller, it's 'probably' made of blond oak, with a 'black glas' top and those four angled legs. The whole thing about 100cm wide and 53cm tall.

Condition is said to be 'excellent original', with only light wear, mostly to the legs. The top has 'very light wear' only. If you fancy it in our living room, the current price is £9.

Pie

Cool, classy and indeed classic, that's the Santa and Cole Pie de Salon floor lamp by Jaume Sans.

From the early part of the decade as you might have guessed, this 1963 design offers up an adjustable leather-covered brass stem, which opens out into a base with three points of support. On top of all that is the shade, which is available in three different shapes and in either stitched beige cardboard, natural ribbon or white linen.

Prices vary depending on our finish, but start at £690.
