There used to be some great deals on Oxford Street. I remember in 1999 just after Niketown opened, the Jordan XIV was on sale for about £45, also in the past I picked up Blue and White VI's and XI cool grey's for about £40. Don't seem to see that many deals these days.
I lost interest in shoes a few years ago but slowly came back into it. When I did, all of the spots around Soho/Covent Garden seemed to have closed - Slammin' Kicks, My Trainer etc. I remember there was a cool shop on Beak Street too (might have been Slammin' Kicks). Was never a huge fan of Foot Patrol - not my sort of shoes - but enjoyed it nonetheless. Are there are good spots in London still? Is Meteor Sports still going? I haven't been there since 2001. I remember Collie used to recommend Camden Market for sneaks too but I never went and don't know if it's still going.
It's a shame that Niketown scaled back their basketball section but good to see Footlocker increasing their's with HOH. That said I wonder how long it will last - whenever I've been downstairs there it's always empty.
Also any word when the Space Jam's are being released in London?
