Earlier today I scored this pair of Adidas Gazelle TKY sneakers at the Seibu department store in Ikebukuro (in the Adidas corner). Only 6600 yen! What a great pair of sneaks to start the new year with!

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
Jean Snow is a daily contributor to Wired magazine's game blog, Game|Life, covering game news from Japan and beyond.
Tokyolife: Art and Design covers Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives. Jean Snow provided coordination assistance.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
He is also the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens August 4 (there is no July edition).

Nice! I might have to copy you on that if I was to come across the same bargain. :)
That’s just the regular price they sell for, they weren’t on sale or anything.
damn! i’ve been looking for them all over in tokyo, but couldn’t find a single pair!
Oh, that’s shitty. I didn’t even know they existed, but was at the store the other day, spotted them, and couldn’t resist getting a pair. I’m waiting until tomorrow (January 1) before wearing them!
might have to get those too !

but i guess not?
Yes. RUN-DMC. Though filtered through 20 years of my life, as I remembered it. It seems from Jesper’s link that I skipped around a bit….
Count me in the tribe! :) I found some today!
