the wanna-be cool kid inside of me has always wanted some cool skate trainers, but wasn't prepared to spend £60-odd on them.  on a recent scavenge in bargain heaven TK Max, i stumbled across these Vans-

for £20... sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet... i wasn't too fond of the gold jazz stripe at first but it's totally grown on me.  check out the snake skin detailing on the side-

...nice...

then, low and behold, i was passing through again and happened upon these Carey Hart signature DVs-

(for those of you not in the know, Carey Hart is a pro moto-x rider and on-off husband of P!nk-)

the shoes have got some tight little tattoo-style doodles down the side, showing lots of swallows and skulls and low-riders and things like that. just like on the man himself.  bitchin.

now i'm not gonna turn into one of those guys who only wears a pair of trainers once and then retires them, but i probably will get a bit pissed off when i mark them... indoor use only methinks...

and as for the price... £20 each?!  2 pairs of awesome shoeage for cheaper than a pair of discounted DCs?!  yes please.
