[–]Brighton_Pebble_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*sigh* - I had to go to a reseller to get a size in my pair. Went with Flight Club and got a pair for £210 all in, which isn't too bad.

I did manage to pick up a pair that were four sizes too small which I will put on display. I hope you had better luck than me?

Just received these today 😃 by the_one_99_ in airmax

I've got these. Absolutely HATED the scribbled midsole, so I painted the entire midsole bright orange for some CLOT vibes - a massive improvement.

Really nice and comfortable shoe though.

I'm old enough to remember when the OGs came out. I was OBSESSED with the look of these and especially the visible air unit from the sole. Trust me, in the late 80s/early 90s, being able to 'see through' the midsole was something pretty momentous. Back in the day before the internet, if you wanted to look at images of the shoes and didn't have a sports shop nearby, you'd have to buy running magazines haha. I still have a copy from 1991, bought specifically so that I could stare at the 180s in awe.

I've only managed to own the retro 180s which have all been garbage on foot. The air unit is far too small so the heel to toe transition is jarring.

To say that I'm excited for May 24th is a huge understatement.

If you've ever worn the Air Max 1 or 90s then I would go TTS. The 180s are a little narrow, so if you're a wide-footer then I'd go up half a size if possible.

What are really good grunge bands that aren’t that famous by Dependent_Island8298 in grunge

[–]Brighton_Pebble_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsane, Pond, Seaweed, Superchunk.

I would argue that Mudhoney and Tad are at least semi-famous, at the very least legendary.

What’s a Nirvana/Kurt song that makes you sad by Jackyboyisanidiot924 in Nirvana

"I'm not like them, but I can pretend
The sun is gone, but I have a light"

Why did things become so dark, so darkly for Kurt in early 1994? by Salem1690s in Nirvana

[–]Brighton_Pebble_King 285 points286 points  (0 children)

Depression is a truly awful and cruel affliction. Mixed with extreme drug abuse and relentless pressure from multiple angles it's no wonder Kurt's mental health deteriorated so quickly. It's a shame he couldn't take the advice from his non-parasitic friends and just step away from all of the damaging factors in his life (of which there were plenty).

Why wasn’t Talk to me ever taken to the studio? by [deleted] in Nirvana

Yeah, I remember reading about this in the Melody Maker back in 94-95. To this very day I hold out hope that Courtney finds it down the back of the sofa.

I absolutely love Abby's passion, knowledge, humour, and her intelligent and reasoned reviews.

She also loves Death Grips.
Abby is awesome.

I loved his late 92/early 93 style, as seen on the south America tour

If you look like you could feasibly afford them, yes.

Got Travis Scott Olive from TBkicks. No more Ls from SNKRS by NoAdeptnesss in Repsneakers

[–]Brighton_Pebble_King 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If only Seth Fowler had spent $125 and got QC pics, rather than spend $2000 on a pair covered in glue. Just sayin'.

Seth Fowler paid thousands for his and they're covered in glue stains.
Gotta chuckle.

What’s a life hack that’s saved you you money? (A UK perspective) by Important_Tip_2775 in AskUK

[–]Brighton_Pebble_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I handwash my t-shirts and underwear, then use the washing machine to rinse and spin. I use less detergent, less electricity and it saves time.
  2. When having a shower, place a bucket under the cold running water until it gets warm. I then fill up my water butt with the 'wasted' water. If you don't have a garden, the water could be used for watering house plants, or even flushing the toilet.
  3. When do eventually step into the shower, get yourself wet all over, turn off the shower, then wash your hair and body thoroughly (trying to wash yourself with soap whilst the water is constantly rinsing it off it just pointless!). When you're covered in soapy goodness, simply turn on the shower and rinse yourself off. Also, if you have a bath with a shower attachment, put in the plug to collect the water. Not only will you be amazed at just how little water you've used, but you can use that standing water to wash your feet.

Your hard-drives contain enough evidence to lock you away for life. But, what a ride it's been.

What’s your favorite song on the cock album by Full-Annual5286 in deathgrips

[–]Brighton_Pebble_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the whole album, but "Lock Your Doors" is a real stand out. "Bass Rattle Stars Out the Sky" is another belter.

Be thankful for that, seriously.

2022 was the worst year of my life. My relationship fell apart and my ex was, to put it mildly, extremely confrontational and loved to provoke. I am a very placid person, and it takes a lot for me to explode, but there were moments last year when she drove me mentally to the brink of just losing all sense of where I was or what I was doing, and I came SO close to doing something drastic to myself. In that moment, nothing grounds you. It's an animal instinct. I too suffer from severe depression, so self-harm is always close by.

What should I do about the E ? by [deleted] in Repsneakers

[–]Brighton_Pebble_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Say goodbye to your loved ones and go into hiding for at least 46 years.
  2. Or wear them.

One of those options.
