i copped 2 pairs on 9/3/07...from mens walkers on 125th street in harlem.

Just gotta a pair from Men's Walkers on 125th.....thanx man.

I'm from the Virgin Islands i do remember those shoes mad shoes up to now I have an almost brand new pair still ....... believe me and some day I was looking for a store that sells them and I found this site call old school british walkers. It's been awhile now, now i'm back in the islands living ... well trust me I am going to copp some other ones

I am original old school head and I had flavors of these. My favorite was the Burgandy Lace up's These where hot. Then the Wallabee's came out and took over. The British walkers were the official Uptown shoe and the clark wallabee's were the Brooklyn shoe. Then came the Ballys Alexis. Another Throw back for you. Things were so much better back in the days.

I keep calling the OldSchoolBritishWalkers.com phone # but I never get anyone to pick up. But don't forget the British Knights and how they were in the mix too. Strap/Buckle with the quilted tops. Oh but wait, remember The PlayBoy's? All suede, all kinds of colors with the thick black sole. Bruh's from Shaolin used to rock these hard.

This shoe was the fire do you hear me. Burgundy was the colr slip on of course with the tassle. Nothing like rocking a pair withe a matching CHAMS de BARON button down, Navy BLue Calvins Or LEE Demins ANd Of Course THEE KANGOL, A pair of Cazelle's And APeterbilt JACKET. Your ready to hit the Duece.

WHAT AN ERA.THE STORE SALES ASSOCIATE SAID THEY HAD BAD MANAGEMENT. I LOVED THAT SHOE. I LIKED THE ZIPPER BRITISH. BUT DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHERE TO GET SUEDE BALLYS? Im gonna bring it back ,dont worry folks.. Wow ,what an era..

british walkers where the shoes to have. with a mock neck and pair of lee jeans with the perminate crease n kangoo. members only jacket... u were the man for sure.. if i find em, imma wear em

You gotta remember the patent leather two toned walkers with the corterfield coat with fox collar from D STREET.

Yo, remember the wing tip playboys... they was DOPE! I used to rock the chams, two-toned burgundy & grey suede british with the calvin's and remember the stradler coat that you could get on delancy...crazy fat!!!

Yeah those were the days rocking the british with the straight legs lees suit with the mock neck of course and dont forget the one and only kangol. Nothing like the old days.

Sorry, guys. The only store I knew about on 125th Street in Harlem no longer exist. Does anyone know where I can buy a pair of these classic shoes for my husband?

Stacey Adams has shoe called the Canyon thats real close to the Playboys.GO to stacey adams.com check em out then holla back. PEACE

Man you all bringing back memories, my favorite pair of British Walkers were a Blue and Light Blue pair of Suede and Leather BWs. Pair of Calvins or Lees, Stradler 3/4 Trench or Sheepskin, Mock Neck or Alpaca sweater, (my favorite was a royal Blue with White, Lt Blue and Royal V's on the neck or the Carnigan sweaters w/ the stripes running down from Delancey. Shark Skins or Plaids, and do not forget the Nylon Socks w/ White tube socks underneath or the Argyles w/ the Clarks Wallabees, Desert Boots or Clark Padmore. And yes, cannot forget those Playboys, they are back???? I have been down in Florida, please say it is so. I remeber my Rust suede pair of Ballys. And two-Toned Cazals and the YSL frames.

Been lookin' for Playboys for some time....How old are ya'll anyway?...If you don't remember Paris underwear you ain't old enuf. They used to come in every color in the rainbow....they were nylon..felt good like silk, especially when you were slow dancing to the Delfonics, or the Mad Lads,or Love Men the Temprees...you had to be there...Yo,..check out Zappos.com, free shipping on purchase and return...they sell that Stacey Adams Sanders shoe from the previous note, and it's real close to Playboys...maybe they bought out the company. Anyway check out Mcreedy and Schreiber 213 E.59st NYC off 2nd/3rd Ave 212/759-9241....they never stopped selling Playboys. I used to stop in there at lunch time in the 70's. Had a pair of red patent leather low cut...even the shoe repairman could resole them when they wore out. Florsheim used to sell them..That's where I bought mine. You could wear them to be fly......, then go play ball without changing into your Cons or Pro-Keds. Anyway,..God Bless Ya'll and Merry Christmas.

i'm originally from brroklyn new york, and i to am a british walker fan. i had just about every pair back in da day, wish they were still around

I would like for some one to give me a up to date address and phone number of the place in new york that has britisher shoes.... I need at least 6 pair , peace....O.R.

Had a blue pair with the light blue stripe. Would love to have another pair.

To my most memberable combo was a beige leather /a the beige suede stripe,rocked with either beige corduroys or black Bill Blass jeans /a beige stiching... Man those were the days yo!

But I want to know about those bally's too.Does anyone have info on those? P.S. On Those beige BW's I was the first to rock the velcro strap

Nothin' like a pair of British Walkers (aka Britishers). About five years ago I found someone that had some DEADSTOCK 80's Britishers and I copped a pair, not thinking I should have picked up a few pair. About 2-3 years ago I copped the newer Britishers (tan pair, black pair). Was just up on 125th today and Men's Walkers is closed - I have no idea where they moved to, but a brotha has got to cop a couple pair of Playboy's (not the GBX fugazy's).

OK I went over to Mike's Shoe Plaza just a little while ago and copped the brown suede Playboy shoes and they are having a sale right now; $180 a pair! I saw the brown suede and black suede, and burgundy leather, black leather, and I think olive green leather and all those were also $180 a pair. They've also got British Walkers for $50 a pair. Jump on it now!

peace everybody, i was down 125th 3 weeks ago bought a pair of playboys deep cranberry(some people say burgandy) with the thick black bottoms suede joints, they also have leather joints classic too. Paradise shoes 125th right before harlem river drive entrance. peace.

i would like to thank you brothers for bringing me back, eventhough im not from newyork, i always admired style and newyork has style the early 80s were the best mocnecks,cazals,medilaion peices, kangols britishes, playboy, ballys, straight leg with permanent creases, plaids, chams, d hats,sheepskins, name belts, bombers, i lived that and it remains deep in my thoughts. peace to new york style forever oh i forgot black suede pumas with the silver stripes.?????

Just went to Mike's on 8th bet 37th & 38th. Got 2 pairs of British...Brown/Rust and Ice/Ice slip ons. Not much in big sizes 12 & 13. Has tie ups also. Very happy just to get 2 pairs. He said to check back in a few weeks, he might have more. FINALLY!!!

I submitted a comment on this subject on about 1-13-09 the comment was taken off later on that day. I would like to know why. I also submitted a picture of a pair of Britishers and a sheepskin coat could somebody let me know what happened? my user name for inthe00s.com is mookeychase.

Boy, you guys wiped us out of all the big sizes. 11,12, and 13's are pretty much all gone. Where are the 8-10 and a halfs??? I would like to just say it has been a pleasure seeing some of you come into the store and speaking with you guys on the phone.

I Copped 2 pair back in November'05 in B-more the beige suede W/brown leather & blue suede W/brown leather. My only regret is the only tie-ups were the suede ones the Saxons(slip-ons) are the only leather that came back out.I remember we used to rock the blue,gray,burgundy,creme,green,black,white,two tone or solid wit the leather stripes or suede on the front. They had all colors to match your sheepskin w/ the matching hat & gloves or puff leather bombers wit the Lee flavor straight legs.We also rocked the Calvin K.flavors and the Bill Blass wit the suede or leather front sweaters or the Levis suits wit the turtle necks in B-more in the 80S.When I would go to Brooklyn to visit my cousins I would see dudes rockin the mock necks and sheepskins or bombers,and the Cortifiels wit the beaver fur Kangols the styles were similiar but not the same. But still yall did bang the Britishers and Playboys.I know Britishers were worn from B-more to Boston a East Coast thing for sure.I went and copped the all black suede tie-ups but thats all they had.I called Mikes about gettin the leather tie-up & tassles flavors back. Marc said he would have to see.Now that the company knows they will sell wit no probs,we should get the flavors back. Yo, just think the 80s had so much style, today these young cats don't have their own style everybody dresses the same from 13yrs.-45 but in the 80s we had our own style. Peace to my 80s old heads 1luv

Citi Shoes on 57th St. still sells Sanders shoes(Playboys) for about $220 a pair. Sanders shoes provides the best high end quality playboy shoes in the world. They are made in the U.K. and with a pair of your favorite jeans with your leather coat(from Orchard St) and matching leather or suede Sanders Shoes(Playboy). When I rock my leather or seude Sanders Shoes(Playboys) with a leather or suede coat that matches....I'm showing the young boyz how the old-skool playaz get down. The style is still hot and girlz from 25 to 55 love the style. Those were the days when dressing different separated you from the rest of the pack. I'm 47 years of age and my oldest son who is 21 just looks and steer and say...Dad you think you are Kool and I just look and say no! I know I'm kool ask your mom and your girl friend who wishes dressed with style and not like everyone else. The 80's player/b-boy style never die....it just gets better with old skool playaz like up. Keep ballin playaz from the 80's and show the young boyz how its DONE.

Of course we all remember the cortofiel coats, the mock neck shirts, the shelltoe Adidas with the dingy shell, but does anyone remember Martin Brothers on Fordham Road back in the 70's when they sold the Lee jeans with the ONYX patch on the back pocket? There were two versions of the patch - one with big capital letters ONYX, and ONYX with the baseball bat (I think it was a baseball bat). Anyone else remember a brew called Neuweiler IX? Back in the day when it was all about Ballantine, Colt 45 (anyone remember the little bottles of Colt 45 shaped like a little barrel with the wooden handle?), and of course Olde English (aka Old Bing). Now I'm just waiting for the day if/when Bally comes out with the Aden and Alex shoes again. And what about a pair of AJ Lesters? The two-tone joints with the flap down the side of the pants that we used to iron open to show the color? Or how about the rain-drop AJ Lesters? BTW, a brohem was born and raised on 170th and Webster - the Boogie Down!

Yo, I was down at Mikes today on 8th av(Jan 23) and I got two pair of british for $100. The all white suede and the two-toned rust and brown. The playboys is fire too. the mustard color!...blazin'. If anybody knows where to get the Chams shirt holla back or the Lee "onyx" jeans.

man....i helped on the wipe out....went to mikes and got 6 pair!!!!!all flavors...im addicted all over again..Where dem ballys at???????????????

Yo I talked to Mark today at Mikes Shoe Plaza he said the company that makes Britishers is done! He said he told them how many they sold daily, how many orders they had waiting, how many orders they could pay for up front, they said they don't care they are thru wit the shoe. I'm kinda disscusted because I thought that by selling so many pair they would bring back the flavors and we could get it like it used to be but apparently not, damn. Man I love Britishers it was one of the slickest shoes ever made real talk.It still looks as good as it did 27 yrs ago even some young dudes wit style asked me where I got mine from. Man I was lookin forward to the Burgundy,the Gray, the Blue,all the leathear tie-ups wit the tassles and stripes on the front.I guess They don't care about us in the hood they got rich in the 80s.But damn they can get rich again yo dudes be stopping me in the streets in stores everywhere I go it's a 80s dude asking me where can he cop.So I hope something changes if not they got the R.J colts I might have to bang a pair for the look.

Being though I'm a true 80s old head wit a real love for the 80s and the 80s style I diligently went on a quest for the shoe all slick dudes from my decade used to rock Britishers or British Walkers.Sadly I report that after talking to Marc at Mike's I tried to locate the manufacturer of the shoe and I googled Original Britishers and came up with the owners named DNM LLC, in Jersey. My intentions were to talk to them about the shoe.Further probing led me to see it was really a company called Khadim Holdings in West Bengal, India that made the shoe so maybe the people in Jersey fell out wit the dudes in India and that's the reason they not gonna make the shoe no more cuz i can't imagine them turning down that loot. So I called the company that makes the RJ Colt brand of the shoe which is called Nashville and they say they have stopped making it also it shipped out the last order to Foot Action and Foot Locker in June 08. So it looks like if You didn't catch Mike or one of the other spots you might be out of luck so if you have some you better take good care unless some one else decides to make them they're officially dead!Thank God I got a few pairs! Peace 1luv Dee

Yo that's what I'm talkin bout Nat! Yo these companies out here in business to make money so I know if they had a clue how quick Mikes sold out and all the other spots thanks to this website they would even take custom orders. Something def had to happen between them and the people in Jersey. I'm in B-more and we had 'em in 05-06 even though they wasn't in the flavors we wanted they still sold and alot of dudes missed out and now want in. So even if we gotta send our money in or market them or whatever we gon make it happen. Yo I gotta have the all leather tie-ups wit tassels and bars on the front,tell me what shoe is slicker than the Britisher 25+ years later? PEACE Dee

Yo, I feel you Mook, everybody on this blog need to email this company and let them know that we want this shoe again. So let's get busy!...remember the hi-top british, I used to rock mad flavors, like the blue and beige suede w/ the velcro strap...Man we got to get it crackin'! I already picked up some mocks and I got a fresh pair of plaids that I'm gonna rock this spring and have all the brotha's open...watch Lol!

werd..........good idea...but where did u get those mocks???????????????????????????????

I got my mocks on the way to mike's at a store called Penguini's men's fashion on the corner of 38th and 6th Ave.

What up Nat, Damn son you got mocks? Yo I'm that type of dude I will cold bring back something from the day cuz yo if you think about it, like I said in my other post we was fresh in the 80s these kids today aint got no style that sets them apart.Our style, the sheepskins the bombers with the Britishers to match the kangols mocks chams Calvins Lees all-lat. I loved the spring and summer wit the Lee flavors and the matching BVD tees and boxers wit the Brits, that was strait hood and Hip-Hop. Back then you aint see everybody bangin that, like now these kids dressing like white boys wit all this American Eagle and Abercrombie and Hollister which aint nuffin wrong wit it but the hood had a defined look that said we street and REAL FRESH! Plus most of the stuff we used to rock still looks good today. Imma try to get to NY this weekend and cop some mocks I was on this website and I saw a Cortifiel wit a fur collar man this joint was so fresh plus I was in the mall I saw triple fat came back out wit a bomber but it wasn't leather, it was this new leather plastic look thats out right now but it bought back memories ya now? Yo I e mailed them dudes soon as I saw your post and good lookin cuz I see you as determined as I am to get these joints back poppin again. PEACE My Mellow, Dee

That's what's up Mook! remember the colored lee's wit da pinstripes and the cardigan sweaters wit da pinstripes! cat's used to be fly! they had sheepskins in mad colors too, up here. I'm still trying to find the bally's. Imma go to delancey street and Jamaica Ave. and see what's up. If anybody else find'em holla at the true old skool cat's on this blog. Yo mook go to this site, www.thefoundation.com and check out the ol skool battle tapes wit da cold crush, fantastic 5 all dem olskool MC's who laid the foundation. This site is straight ol skool. My man Troy put it down.

yeahhhh!!sombodee find dem lees...they was the ish..wit bvds or letigre flavors or suade fronts and remember when we used to stuff the sock under the tounge of the shell toes to make it look puffed up...or stuff plastic inside the chauffeur hats to make them stay puffed up and all that...lol those was the dayzzz........need them mocks good lookz on that!

What up Nat, Yo I tried to log on to that site but i had problems getting past the first screen. It was a blank screen then it wouldn't let me go no farther, Yo I don't know if you down wit you tube but that's where I get all my old music fast and slow you name it they got cuz I dont listen to this ish on the radio so I gotta have Mr Magic Marley Marl World Famous Supreme Team music Ya heard? But I will try again and tell what I think but if it is what you say it is Imma love it. Yo go to yoou tube and punch in Beat Street subway battle and see NYC breakers and Rock Steady I remembered that scene when they had on all the fresh gear blue sheepskins Crazy Legs had on his Levis suit under his gray sheep dem dudes had on the turtle necks and the puffed leather bombers some had on the puma windbreakers Yo you gotta see it, it will take you straight back to 84! Yeah Kidwave, I remember all them Lees son and the two toned and the pinstriped and the Bill Blass indeed! PEACE Homies Dee

Yo mook, google it like this, thafoundation.com and you should be straight. Check out the interview w/ Coke La Rock it's hard, talking bout the good ol days in the bronx, soundview. That's where I used to leave. 1669 and 1725 up tha block. then you can check out all the dope battle tapes from back in the day. Yea I be on you tube, but you got to punch in the coldcrush brother's, the fearless four, all the ol skool crew's and check out the clip from "wildstyle". So check these out and let me know what's up.

Yo Nat what up Baby? Yo I went to that site son the reason I couldn't get in was cuz I was punching in "the" instead of "tha" but yo, I read that interview wit Se-Divine bout 4 months ago in the library but I had to leave so I didn't get to read the whole joint I forgot the link to the site, so 4 months later you had it so good lookin. Yo that joint(site) is fire son that's what I'm about the essence man all them dudes from the very beginning Flash Melle Mel which is my all time best. Yo Divine said he seen Mel go in a bathroom come out 1/2 hour later wit a song on a piece of tissue I heard that somewhere else I like Caz too of course Flash is my all time best DJ probably the best. Growing up in the Bx must have been the truth son being the home of hip-hop I see Bx cats always took this thing seriously and still do. Oh yeah I always loved Whiz Kid that dude was the truth wit the fader but how was it in the 80s up there(Bronx) when it was really poppin off? . Growing up in B-more I always was down, in like 79 my man went to Howard U and he cut into dudes from the nation (Zulu)and he used to spin so he put me on wit dudes from the Bx and I used to ask them question after question man they used to laugh but I was curious.They told me that Sugar Hill was biters when Rappers Delite was out them cats gave me alot and every other dude from the Bx that would move down here so you can imagine when I hit Bk in 85 i knew more than the average dude about the pioneers where they was from who used to be a crew back in the day all-a dat even my cuzin in Bk didn't know what I knew then. In 83 the dude gave me what I call the hip-hop bible a book called,"Rap Attack" alot of books was out then but this was the truth son. So I consider myself an expert on back in the day hip-hop.Yo I listen to Super Rhymes and be like yo aint no reason why this dude and many others can't still make records dem brothers can spit son. Listen to TI and all the dudes in the game now, like Divine said I don't call it rap they should rename it but they rhyme so elementary you can always predict what they gonna say next so why not bring back the old skool they can still go right? Anyway I'm still waiting to hear from them dudes in India but I hope everybody E mailed them so we can put the press on them and ,MAKE them bring that shoe back,word. PEACE Dee

Good detective work Nat and Mookie! I should hop on a plane to India tomorrow! The problem of course is the name "The Original Britishers." It is a copyright. I am REALLY frustrated that these clowns aren't making them anymore. Why is it that everytime something good comes out and people are excited, they yank it away prematurely??? Doesn't make sense. Anyway, I may be putting up some on Ebay shortly so the people from out of state can see what its about. I will let you know.

Yo Mark what up baby? I talked to you several times about this problem do you think they dont take us seriuosly? Like we aint gonna buy enuff for them to make, or do you think it is something else? cuz yo that's the story of the Nike Air. Down here in b-more in spring '83 after the 2nd Nike Air came out, the low white w/silver stripe & bottom, Nike cut them off cuz Adidas was killin'em wit the flavored Top Tens,the Concordes and Forums so they fell back off the Air. Then in 1987 after Adidas came out wit white w/ burgundy stripes and white on white forums a dude name Mr. shoe from "Charley Rudos Sports" got tired of us asking him about the Nike "Airs" so he called Nike himself and ordered 1000 pair, the rest is history they gave him his own shoe with his name and the b-more area code at the 25 yr anniversary as a token of appreciation for making them millions of dollars richer,it's in the movie "just for kicks" anyway my point is it got to be something seriously wrong with this company because they can't lose by making this shoe. But anyway thanks for the post so all the brothers who didn't have'em got a chance to get'em yo I'm still gon e mail'em, call'em or whatever somebody is gonna have to tell me NO! Then I'll stop maybe somebody smart will cone out wit all the flavors and styles one day without the name cuz believe me if I knew how to make shoes,son I would be making them right now! Nah mean?(LOL) Peace Mark and all my 80s heads Dee

Yo, Mark and Mook, I just got an email from India in regards to the British and here it is: Hi Eric We at Khadim’s, have accessed your mails on the ‘Britishers’ footwear. Just to put things on perspective, British Walkers is a registered footwear brand of Khadim India Ltd and retailed in India through our EBOs. Previously, we had exported this brand to our working associate in US, in early 2000s, which is presently discontinued. Not sure, whether you are talking of the same product, as we had no presence in US in the 80s. You could send us an image of the Britishers footwear, so that we can confirm the same from our end. Nonetheless, thanks for bringing the same to our notice. Would attempt to extend plausible help in your Britishers resurrection cause. Warmly.~Anamika Now fella's here is what we have to do, and this goes for ANYBODY out there who has pictures or who can get pictures of the british we used to wear in the 80's any styles and colors(zip up, velcro, tie-up, slip on , tassle,) etc. to show this woman to let her see if she can help us like she said. So Let's get busy and find those flicks. Go to old school web sites, you tube, old school movies, whatever. And let's see if we can get this crackin' by this summer....Ol' School fa LIFE! Peace.

The ones we are gettin' now are the ones that came back in 2000 not the ones we was wearin' in the 80's. Those are the ones we want to see again the alligator, hi-top two tone, slip on tie up, tassle, in all flavors!

*****British Walkers VS Britishers*********** DONT BE FOULED BY BAD IMITATIONS I visited they store on 8thave. bet 37 & 38th st. Not the real thing. the Original British Walkers had soft suede good quality leather and tassels........ suede and leather tassels. gum rubber bottoms and a nice thin profile WELL STITCHED. the gentlemen I spoke to on the phone before visiting hyped up the fact that they were original then in the store he after my dislike of the store found a more correct explanation for the shoes. bsbsbsbsbsbsbs. TELL THE TRUTH THEY ARE NOT ORIGINAL THEY ARE BAD COPYS EVEN THE PLAYBOYS LOOKED BAD. CAN ALWAYS GET WALLABEES FROM CLARKS. THESE SHOES ARE NOT MADE BY THE ORIGINAL COMPANY. DONT BE FOULED. I ALWAYS BEGGED MY MOMS TO BUY MY BRITISH WALKERS NOT "britishers". from 6th grade through high school. I Know British Walkers. These arent it. also on other thing. the guy stated that the other web site with DJ Red Alert was supplied by the same store on 8th ave. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL beat them in the head. GOOD LUCK ALL.

Ayo, im from brooklyn originally and i remember the british and the playboys but yo, whats up with suede bally's? Anybody know where i can cop some at? holla back!!

Ballys there was an article in the daily news I think about a store owner on 125th st. that could no longer sell ballys because the company's core clients didnt like the urban association. my coz loves his still keeps them. mostly Queens Blvd.

MoMo, If you got flicks of the so called REAL ones then send them to Khadim LTD so they can see them and let us know if they are the ones responsible for the 80's version or not. That's how you can do your part.

What up? Man its gettin hot in here....Well one thing for sure somebody knows whats goin on Yo maybe the people in the city got a connect yall know its people in the city that can make anything, they do it all day maybe somebody boot legged the joints they boot legged everything else come on, all they need is a market then its on. Back to the beat, Now what made the people in India make a shoe so similiar in name and looks just like our joint from the 80s. I remember the joint we wore down here was called Britishers cuz I remember the tag but it wasn't leather and the slip-ons had the B in the front but I never seen a pair wit British Walker on them and we would ask why yall dudes up top called them that, but that did sound kinda slick. Now Look at it like this someone from back in the day who was affiliated with the first company in some way is puttin out the shoes, since the original owners are long gone and they know they aint gotta worry about being sued right? Yo its no coincidence so we gotta ask the lady,"yo who came up wit the design and the idea back in 2000?" Once again it makes no sense yo that they came out of the sky with this idea 20 years later with no ties to the 80s, somebody knows something and I think my theory is right on. Not that I'm Barnaby Jones or Barnaby Bones (Count Cool Out)LOL We know the high,the straps,the zip-ups the blue,burgundy,gray,green, black,white,creme,brown the two toned,burgundy & gray,blue & sky blue,all leather with the leather stripes across the foot the leather tassels was the slickest joints man and not to come back wit them...something aint right.Yo what I will do is ask the dude Mr Shoe same dude from the Nike Air revival and his homey where the people were from cuz in 81-84 they sold more Britishers than Nike Airs. I will also try to get old flicks but between movin around,givin em away and being in the penile most people cant find none although my cuz in BKLYN is gonna ask his old girl about some flicks we took in the city in 1983 like I said before we had em in 2005 I posted the pair on top of the sheepskin.Yo I saw a post on in the00s.com from a store in Newark called Ahmedinas I called then the dude said they got em the sista said she seen dudes wit the burgundy who saved them from back in the day so I'll reach out and touch her about some flicks cuz if I heard you right Nat, the lady wants pics so they can make the styles we want. Yo I dont care who makes them long as the leather is leather the suede is suede and the joints I described come back Im coppin, cuz yo,Volvo dont make Volvos no more ford does and I love the S-80 so guess what.........anyway yall we gotta get on the case and come up wit these flicks cuz like I said days ago people aint stupid they in business to make money and especially in tough times like these if people are willing to spend they ready! Peace everybody Nat get at me son, Dee

Yo Mook, You are absolutely right. I got another email from Khadim's and she said she would wait on the flicks. And even if that company didn't make the ones from the 80's, they should be able to make them if they had pictures of them right. So stay busy on dem flicks mook, and I'm trying to get at some of my boy's from back in the day to see if they got any high school flicks when we was "Gear down". Check out the picture up top those are my british. They changed the picture and put mine up there.I posted them acouple of weeks ago after I copped them from Mike's As for that other cat MoMo, You know how the hatin' thang go but we gonna keep it going aight.Holla back. Peace. Allnat

A-nat,what it is baby? Yo I just thought about it we good cuz you talkin to the owner so even if we dont get no flicks you just tell em, yo we need blue,burgundy,gray,green,white, creme, the two toned then hit her wit the all leather joints tie ups and slip-ons. Then later on we can work on the gator the zip-ups high tops strap-ups and all the other joints. She said they never marketed it over here maybe somebody over there was pushing them under the table or somebody was in India, seen em over there and bought em back, then somebody made em over here cuz the similarities are too close same shoe different colors. But yo most importantly we communicating and Mikes is perfect cuz they got clientele yo give me that email address again I may have gotten it wrong but Imma sure hit her cuz I could be the link between them and B-more ya heard? Yo MoMo is wrong I rapped to dudes who got good memories like me and they sayin this is the same shoe it had Britishers on it back then not British Walkers I even called my p's in BKLYN they said the name was Britishers but yall called em BWs so maybe Mo is tryin to alert dudes so they wont get beat cuz I would hate to think he is hatin on the next mans grind, but the way we like this shoe I dont thibnk it matters who makes them WE WANT EM! Yo Nat hit me at mookeychase@verizon.net so we can get it together son and rap about some other stuff aight? dont forget I need that the address. Peace Troop

YO ahMEDinas closet has Britshers address is;11 Bradford Place Newark, N.J 07102 phone 973-624-1967 she just sent me some flicks of their shoes they come wit the bag and everything they look like the same joints everybody got me you Red Alert and them, everybody. She is interested in whats goin on in India also the more the merrier. I think we gon be alright cuz they want this money. Peace Dee

MoMo, you are a joke. Why don't you form a class on what are originals and what aren't? I am sure lots of people would attend. The only problem would be if you wrote on the blackboard, no one would understand what you are writing. Why don't you enlighten us more, Professor MoMo??? There was a place here in DC called Gracie's but closed down cause the owner fled the country and they had British Walkers that said Original Britishers in them but I have to get up to NYC to check these out. Or maybe I will check out MoMo's class, but I might have to bring an interpreter with such gems as Don't be FOULed :). hahahahahahahahaha, its fooled fool! I ain't mad atcha.

Ayo, fella's the "british walkers" from back in the late seventies and eighties that we all love "DID NOT HAVE BRITISH WALKERS ON THE INSIDE OF THE SHOE"!!!! they had britishers on the inside and my memory is dead on word!! The slip ons that came back are the original and now we got to put in some work and get the leather tie ups, zip ups and the rest of the flavas!! So, mook is right yo, and i'm feeling you guys on this so, i'm gonna do my part on this end as well. I already e-mailed that lady at khadims ltd. life07 one i'm out!!

Ayo, for what it's worth chris is right and exact! believe it or not I just got an e-mail from dana dane the rapper responding to my question about "british walkers.' He said that the originals had britishers on the inside of the shoe. Confirming that kats in the hood started calling them british walkers. So, these shoes are the originals from back in the day! The only thing is when they relaunched them they also redesigned them as well.

Yo I tried to be diplomatic about the whole thing I dont like to go on dudes on the net cuz you dont get no points for that. But check it, I got a memory like an elephant yo I knew that the joints were called Britishers not British Walkers if you had em you should remember the tag on the side and the insole but MoMo you was in the six grade and your mother bought your joints It's old heads on here you aint hear Mr Gilmo talkin bout Paris underwear? I was in the 12th grade in 82 I did my own thing, they were "Britishers" B.K.A BW's to NY-NJ cats so you were wrong Mo especially for goin in that mans spot and accusing him of having fake Britishers whether in front of customers or not so if you a real dude you would at least call back and apologize to them Ps and tell em you got them mixed up son.Listen, in the early-mid 70s we had the beige suede Clarks but called them "easy walkers" thats just slang we put on clothes city to city.If you read all the post you saw a couple dudes from NY call them Britishers so next time do your homework Mo before you publicly slander somebodys business and slaughter their character. I had dudes who copped from Mikes e mailing me askin me to send them pics of mine and the ones at ahmedinas to see if their joints was fake and like I said everybody got the same ones man. Life I agree 100 I'm gettin at that lady a-day telling her about the flavors cuz I cant find no flics. But yo I be good if they just come out wit all leather tie-ups & tassels in solids Blue,Burgundy,Gray,Brown,Green,White all the flavs from the day,then we work on the zip-ups,high tops,strap-ups nah mean? It's hard to describe the leather bars stripes pleats what ever they were on the top of the foot but thats what made them so slick.Yo everybody get at them peeple and they aint got no choice but to bring em back hear me? Peace everybody, Dee

original british walkers had by galileo stamped inside.

Ayo, I never heard that one before! I remember the leather and suede tie ups had britishers on the lable that was located on the side of the shoe! As for galileo, I don't remember that son! yo, mook I remember back in the day they had a break dancing book out that had flicks of the b-boy fashion. I remember they had a really good pic of british walkers in the book! Thing is I don't recall which book it was. So yo, I'm gonna pick up a couple of em and check em out though. Like you said son there haven't been a shoe that was slicker than the british! I mean you had some serious contenders (play boys, wallabees and ballys). When we get this british walker thing straightened out we can work on the bally's son! Ayo, take care all full circle I'm out!!!!!!

Yo life that's what I'm talking bout yo get that book baby cuz I wanna see a nice leather tie-up burgundy & gray or all Navy pair yo for real! These ones we got now is good to be able to say yeah I got a couple pair but we know if we aint got the right colors and styles like the joints with the leather bars stripes or whatever they was on the top of the foot then we really aint got the heat son. They came out wit some aight ones but the blue suede & brown leather (I got a pair)they coulda kept them or made them all blue like the all black leather joints but I had to get em. When I came home in 99 dudes out here had the blue and the brown matter fact I seen my man today who had a gray pair I asked him he smiled and said oh you remember them huh? I said yeah yo who had em he couldn't remember he said he saw a homey 2 months wit a pair of gray he asked him about them and the dude dummied up. I told him what we tryina do on here he said what all old heads say yo let me know I'm ready. I e-mailed that broad again today 3rd time this week no answer. Today I told her yo either yall gon make em or somebody else gon make a shoe just like it wit the flavors and styles we want or somebody might bootleg a few hundred good pair somebody gon get this money baby so I dont care who make em Original Brithisers or not if a good quality shoe comes out I'm hopping on it. Yo capps the old jimmys had Britishers by Palladio on them son not galileo. If you read the e-mail she sent All nat it makes you think somebody else owned the company in the 80s cuz when I googled it first I saw Original Britisher by Palladio was DNM LLC in jersey I looked a Lil deeper then it revealed this company Khadims so they came from Jersey in the 80s after that India. Well they better get the colors right or they will lose more money that's why they discontinued them my man manage the store that had em he said they aint do well cuz dudes aint like the colors except the all black leather. Yo you can hit me at mookeychase@live.com cuz I hate taking up so much space you know? Peace my Mellow

They have popped up on ebay recently. There was navy and rust up there the other day but today I only found beige. http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Original-Britishers-Men-Shoe-in-Beige-Suede-Size-10_W0QQitemZ260361859068QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Men_s_Shoes?hash=item260361859068&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

yo, thanks mookeychase your right its palladio i knew it was something like that im from brooklyn i used to eat and sleep britishers i almost bought some at mikes shoe plaza back in september 08 they dont look to right. Nothing like those back in the days styles im going retro already this year igot some of those bang bang playboys by gbx they are ok.peace out.

Yo capps,the joints Mike got are the same joints everybody got from the pics I saw.Maybe its the styles like I said the blue suede & brown leather joints they made in 2005 they coulda kept them, but something about Britishers man I had to get em,then 2 weeks later I got the beige suede & brown leather. The ones out now look different cuz they are different no flavors no two tone even solid leather would do for me long as they got once again "the tie-up & tassels wit the leather stripes". I eat sleep them now cuz I cant wait till we get them colors jumpin off son for real they shoulda never left us then now since the baggy look of the 90s is gone dudes wearin pants that fit so they really needed now right now! Yo just to see a slick pair of green & beige tie-ups w/ stripes, I'd probably stare at the pic for 15 min LOL. Yo they just bring back so many memories when our dress code was distinct and fly man, young ni66a runnin wild in the 80s livin it up word! Peace, 80s

I remember a cat I went to school with had a high top leather pair of british with no stripe just a seude shape on the side by the ankle and the B going across it. I never saw them in a store & never saw them again, they where so HOT!

Yoooooo! I found the shoe we used to wear! wit the pleats I be tryin to describe to yall, well I found it. Yesterday my man Life07 gave me a site samsungamerica.com I went to it ka-boom there it was yall it was creme tie-up wit tassels w/ tha pleats. Now the shoe on the page is called "Britisher" which is the name on the shoes of the 80s I remember that clearly, not Original Britishers but plain Britisher yo word on my momma this is it.These are the Palladio joints I guess cuz just think why the Original Britishers never came out wit this shoe I think the owners split and had to share the name and the people at Khadmis(f*&k them)put Original and added the "s" or like I said somebody coulda seen em and bought the style over here at any rate yall this is the shoe only now, samsung america owns it so here is the number, yo we gotta blow their phones up a-day so they will know we serious I already called Mike and ahMEDinas and I called the people and asked the lady do yall still make the shoe or what? she said yeah lemme transfer you to the guy who sells them, came back and said you got a business I said "yeah I work for Mikes and ahMEDinas and my job is to find that exact shoe yall got on that site" she took the numbers and I said look we wore this shoe in the 80s and we want it back yall dont know the demand for this shoe. She said they dont know Khadims which adds more questions to who da f@#k are these people in India? Well heres the number yall blow it up they are more interested in talking to businesses but still who do they sell to,thats right us so when we call that will let them know a market is out there.Phone # iz 201-621-0445 e-mail iz info@samsungamerica.com I e-mailed em last nite dont call the NY number thats the wrong number and these people dont care to talk if they dont work in that department so lets get it poppin yall go to the site and look at the shoe tell me if that aint the shoe I been talkin about. This should be it I dont think they delt wit nobody who served us but if they act right they gon make some loot!So yo let your local hood store know the old joints are back and give em the info cuz we bout ta turn them on to a whole new market word. Peace 80s heads Dee

Yo Im here to report that I just talked to the old dude from the Britisher he said they are the old skool Palladio people, well he is just that samsung bought them so he still markets them and I rapped to him for about 20 min to find out he does business wit Mikes so MoMo you're dead wrong they are the authentic joints. Anyway they decided to come out wit the "updated" joints which led to them colors we didnt want. Mostly and sadly they didnt come out wit that model on the samsung page it it called the "Royal" damn son thats the one I wanted so bad yo I mean damn I would take any of them but like I told him the most frequent complaint or concern / issue is the color man. Yo they say if its broke dont fix it so why in the h3ll would they not bring back flavors? It was a time when only NY was known for rockin colors but now in this video age it is world wide. Imma call the old dude again and ask him whats the likely hood of them makin more in the 80s colors since he was there he knows exactly what sold yo so now this it whateva Mike dont get by the way Mike is his biggest customer we talked about Mike he said "who the guy on 36th & 8th avenue? Yeah, he got half my inventory in his warehouse" or ahMEDina dont get we wont get cause of course you cant cop without a tax ID #.So fellow old heads just have solace in this, the real shoe is the one we got and aint no flavors out there so we did our best. But still Mike and the old guy are the corner stone all Mike gotta do is tell the old guy "yo go tell em to get me dem flavas for my customers" and the old guy tell his people and we'll see what happens. Yo Im still mad to know the whole time the shoe(royal) was out there and nobody got em that means the company suggested to the stores what to buy but an old skoola woulda got tha right ones so we'll see what Marc and them do aight crew. Peace Dee

Yo Life07 just e mailed me he did the same thing I did strait called them Ps yo. He held on I didnt I kept pushin and got to the source but Life talked to dude who is really the dude" his name is Young and he is the dude wit da juice to say whats what Life said he told him they never intended to stop marketing the shoe but like I said they wanna know if you own a business sayin dat to say this ,Yo call young blow his extension up tell him we want colors if he keep gettin calls he gon do something ba-lee-dat call em 201-621-0445 yo get ur children cuzins anybody we wanna get 1000 calls to him a a week if everybody call and get somebody to call specifically him 7x a day we will get our way he cant deny dat market he gon say "we gotta get dem shoes out to them people plus he be thinkin bout a bonus if he bring in more money" tell him like me and Life yo somebody gon get tired of seeing us beg yall and they make em, BWs or not. Get busy yall. If you cant get thru ask for his voice mail and lets pack that joint. Peace crew, Dee P.S Yall gotta xcuze my last post I didnt proof read it.

Mike's Shoe Plaza number is 212-921-8218 and the addy is 550 8th Ave Ny,Ny..good luck!

Yo Mookeychase I'm sorry to inform you but they were Call The original britishers by Pallado because Tom McCann Had a knock off of the shoe but the packaging is still the same The clear bag followed by the cloth bag and the box with the name threw out the in side. the styles we are seeing are the last styles they drop before the disappeared some time in the mid 80's. I can think of @ lease 15 - 20 styles that they had the new co. must don't have the oringinal patterns. Peace one love & much luck to us all in our common quest.

What up people? John I remember the tag on the side sayin Britisher then the inside sayin Britisher by Palladio you mite be right J. I know British Walker wasnt on none of em.Its kinda confusing 27-28,(damn dats a long time) years later what it is is that two companies have rights to them khadims and samsung america neither one of em are aware of the other but the old dude told me yesterday it was the same shoe but after he went to my home girls store he said he never seen that shoe on the samsung america page he said it was the "royal" then he said the royal was the high top but yo tell me if you remember this shoe wit the lines on it I coulda swore I saw yall rockin em up top back in 83 man. Anyway I got good news I talked to the dude Young for 20 mins today we rapped he said as of now they have no plans to come out "right now" but that dont mean ever. So while we talked I sent him to the site he read all the post he said he got a few calls I know Life07 called but I told him to notice everybody is sayin what their fav color or style is/was so that is real important,I also told him no new buyers are gonna get this shoe same people from the 80s so why not give us what we bought then. So he said he was gonna tell his bosses that "he sees a passion" for this shoe then I sent him to inthe00s.com they got 4 pages, he can make it happen he runs the foot wear dept. He told me to call back and check the status he was a real kool dude man I think we gon work it out cuz he knows they sold all the new ones to us so all we can do is buy the old ones. He knows there is a market for in NYC-NJ alone how bout Philly Bmore DC Virginia so its lookin good right now for them to go on another run wit the old styles and flavas. You rite J there was at least 12-13 different styles I just told him to stretch out the colors. see, this shoe you can never have enuff cuz if you get the blue leather slip-ons then you gotta get the blue suede tie-ups vice versa then you gotta get the gray then you gotta have the burgundy ya know? So thats what it is yall, I told yall I aint gon stop till we get it poppin. Thanx to a-body who called or emailed but still call and give your input aight. PEACE My peoples Dee

Your right aslo and remember a lot of people from NY & NJ have spread out if we can get this poppin again not only for the one who moved out of the tri-State area. Maybe some young heads might want some too. I had a pair one morning and a young dude ran across the park just to ask me where can he get this shoe some young heads got a little styles maybe from there parents or something. I called that number also and he told pretty much the same I hope he was serious. Peace!

Yo J did you see the shoe on the samsungamerica.com page? If you didnt check it out and tell me if yo recognize it. PEACE Dee

Yea you right J bout' the flavas but like I told my man dee I didn't even know they were back out!! I just found out recently! I told a few old school cats and dey wanna know where to cop em. So it's also a marketing issue as well!

Yo Dee, You know I'm wit it, word up but we all got to git together on da serious tip and talk some bizness. Cause if we gonna do it let's do it right. Cause if we can git the last bit of stock from young I wanna know what colors he got,sizes, where he is located, can we git down there to see him face to face and all dat, yah mean. Peace

I agree with Allnat first we gotta go with Young, I know RJ colt is doing their thing but that original "B" means something it's not just the look that tag has substance and the wheight on the colt are way lighter it looks good but I'm so shure the quality is up to par. But if we have no choice I'll have to lean toward the playboy's & clarks. by the way has anybody found those alpaca sweaters out there let me know, peace.

Yo what up kings,Yo Im wit da BWs too but I know young and them aint got no more than Mikes go to intheoos.com page 3 got a pic of all 9 pair dats all da old man kenny got a tax id no. will get a ni66a $40 a pair must buy by da dozen those same joints Mike got. Yo Jay RJs joints are lighter I got da all brown leather joints plus BWs got a better cutve in dem but RJs shoe is good quality,but they done wit em, I aint thinkin bout steppin to them I wanted to know about da process and she put me down wit a few things. Yo I cant imagine us not gettin our doe up and gettin our flavors and styles thats all I aint ready to resign to da possibility of this being it. Listen our real hope is in anamika at khadims but her or da other dude of inthe00scom rajdeep.das@khadims.com didnt answer either so what we gonna do? I remember anamika said she would help us in our resurrection of the shoe wit our pics but she may just wanna see if its da same shoe.So I really dont wanna e-mail neither of dem no more but if yall wanna press em its up to yall. PEACE, deezle

Wassup Peeps, I'm wit you Dee, but if mike don't got the sizes we need and all the colors we gon have to cope dem from young anyway, right? The Cot's look aight but remember the soles on the playboys wasn't black they was just like the BW's (gum soles) I saw maybe one pair at mikes like that. He also got some other knock-off's wit the rubber going to far up the shoe so you know I ain't wit that. I want some grey, green, and navy blue, and burgundy, and Ima findem somewhere..watch! Hold it down black.

Yo Dee, how do you get to page 3 on inthe00s to check out the 9 pair mike got.

werd....mook!..dem joints iz crazee right there son! i cant remember where i found the pic though i just know when i found it i was blown away son...we need them flavors and styles though ...I JUST COPPED SUM ALL CLEAR FRAME CAZALS TO GO WITH THE BLACK ONES I GOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!NOW I need them flavas.

yeah kidwave.I looked at em bout 80 times and I e-mailed all my homies at work at home yo look at the top of the page dats da most talked about color son.damn yo them all suede slips is slammin bee I hear you nat maybe some colors out there somewhere a few dudes out here told me they saw blue and some gray joints so maybe khadims got em but seems like we'll never know cuz dem f@&ks dont get back at a ni66a. Nat go to inthe00s.com punch in British Walker once you there click "read more post" or something like dat pg 1 2 3 4 click 3 scroll down they on the left side good luck. aight peoples we'll see what tomorrow brings. PEACE Dee

Whats good troopers,I just e-mailed that flick to dem two you know whats at khadims asking them if they made the shoe in tie-up or leather in other colors and styles. Now we gon have to wait to see if they respond, tho nobody wants to keep emailing when the people wont answer.Makes you wonder if their s#!t is broke or not but then again this is a business address so you figure they check dem joints at least regularly right? I dont know Nat, since she answered you maybe you stand da best chance you know? Plus everybody else hit dat dude rajdeep.das@khadims he was on the00s screaming "we sell british walkers at khadims email me at....so I hit this b!&%h 3x he aint answer a ni66a! So anyway crew thats da bizness right now aight? Oh yeah they 10 1/2 hours ahead of us. Still a lil mad, Dee

Yo! what matters is the style the 80s represented, it was originality, we had to match up our gear, now its all done for everybody, but im an oldschool head, i understand coordination with colors. mix old with new, and im sorry brother straight leg lees are outa there.everyting else i could live with, as for playboys and britishers and bally, if you find a shoe that looks like them roc them to the fullest represent eighties style. peace.

Yo Nwa..... damn,Imma call you that for short LOL!Dats my point man the style is what it is we might not be able to get everything from da 80s but da look is everything so if I can get a good shoe 25 yrs later than I would hop on it. Now when the original is available you don't get the knock off nah, yo get DA REAL, but if, like say BWs never came out and you saw a joint dat look just like it on a dude you like yo whats dem bee,BWs? He like nah these called---- you like lemme see, he lift up his pants leg you see em you like em you like, yo where they got em? he tell you, then you go cop cuz it looks like what you want.Like I said if the REAL is out you dont F@$k wit da knocks. Yo a knock is a bootlegged copy of da real cuz da real cost too much (some people do f@$k wit em I aint knockin you more power to yo!)So thats where Im at man like I see a lotta "new style" sheepskins and other things so I agree NWA you get what reps da look maybe dat aint for a-body but I guess now khadims is gon have to tell a ni66a no that might take 6 mos to hear from dem peeps its all ready been a month. Audi 5 crew, Dee

Here I go again yall but for real,Im 99% sure I solved the khadims british walkers & palladios original britishers thing. Now if you go to ebay punch in british walkers they will show you a few pair of shoes now I did that 3 months ago thats how I got on this site.Anyway on youtube spoonie gee"big beat" throw back video(?) he's on stage a dude posted this, "spoonie got on british walkers" I looked closer and I wrote"nah homey they are shoes look at the heels" 5 days later Im on inthe00s somebody posts a flick of the same shoes I saw on ebay,and spoonie spoons feet they slip on shoes wit tassels wit a 1/2 inch heel I said the same "no there not BWs." I quote anamika,"BRITISH WALKERS is a registered trademark of khadims,"here's rajdeep we at khadims make british walkers SHOES" I have 4 tabs open right now from each site with the same shoe on spoonie,inthe00s and ebay,british walkers ARE shoes. That explains khadims not knowing Palladio and vice versa,she said they"had no presence in th U.S" back in the day. Go to these sites and check for your self. So seems what we in the hood know as BWs are known as shoes in other places, dont get it f#@ked up this was/is a hood shoe. There you have it khadims makes hard bottom shoes Palladio makes Britishers,the flick I sent anamika and raj will tell it all. Seee Ya! Dee P.S I tried to hit the dude on you tube but the acct is now closed.Here I go again yall but for real,Im 99% sure I solved the khadims british walkers & palladios original britishers thing.

Yo, what up crew! Yo, Dee them "Royals" look nice son, the gum soles like I said, but the only thing that looks different is the rubber around the bottom perimeter of the shoe was alot thicker back in da day. But other than that I would rock dem joints Fa sho'. Ima check out that spoonie gee clip n see what up. I will also send da flick of the british kidwave put out and on the samsung site to Khadims since I originally spoke to her n see what happens she usually responds about 3-4 days after I hit her so I'll see what's up. Hold it down yo.

Na, Son I check the spoonie Video those are not BW's just a dress shoe with a tassel

Whats da flava fam,Yo Jay thats what Im sayin them ones he got on, the joints on ebay and the joints from inthe00s are what people are calling british walkers including khadims Big homey, thats how I concluded the british walkers khadims sells are shoes not the palladio joints. Yo I f---ed around and copied and pasted my post but I copied it twice and I couldnt erase it thats why it was the same thing twice. Anyway I called young today Im just strait asking him whats our chances of seeing the flavas. When/if he says none Im movin on cuz I bet khadims sells hard bottom shoes so aside from puttin our own thing together we outta sources.Yo know what I realized today when I got dressed? I was lookin down at em checkin out my brown wit da navy stripped joints, I was glad to have three pair of BWs cuz alotta dudes aint got none cuz they missed em when they came back out, 3 dudes today asked me for Mikes number they was on em! So sayin dat to say, I might not have burgundy,gray,green,brown all leather tie-ups or da buckle joints or da zippers or da joints on da samsung page but, these 3 pair are better than no pair anyday. Im even glad for my all brown leather RJs cuz I can still rep our 80s dress code and explain (like I did today)to young ni66as "if you didnt have these in the 80s you wasnt a slick ni66a son dats period!" they start smiling and say lemme see em, what dey called? So Imma continue to take my joints out clean up my soles line em up stretch em out and be thankful I can do dat cuz alotta slick ni66as missed out on em word...Nat,Life,Kidwave,capps holla at your man,Yo this aint gonna stop da BW reunion in da Apple troopers. Yall be good, PEACE Dee

Yo Dee, you right I never looked at it that way. We gave it a Good try though and that says alot about how we feel about our era and the style we made famous back then, cause deez young cat's ain't got it. So Ima cop me some blue, and brown "Royals" from mikes or ahmedina's and rock what I got to the fullest. Cause I know ni66a's up here ain't got'em so I'm the first. Cat's already biting my style...Lol remember dat...Biting. Peace fam. I'm sure that if something changes or somebody on this blogs finds something else dey gon let us know. K.I.T fam. Holla back!

Yo dee,nat,kidwave and Big John we did what we can do fo sho!! I mean I was fortunate enuff to cop a few pairs of bws when some ol skool cats didn't get to cop at all!! So yo in da end were still a livin' and shinin' example of true flyness yah heard me. Because these young guys just don't have it dey gear come prepackaged for real I bee havin' these watered down crab negroes rollin' up on me askin' questions and still hatin' at da same damn time "YO, WHO DO DAT SON??????"

Yo Wave when you put somebody on gotta give dem instructions on how to rock'em if you catch'em slippin take right off they feet.(LOL)

Yoooo!Waddupski, Yo I talked to young today and the verdict is in.....Just like we thought its a rap for the British Walkers.He said as of now "no future for the shoe. We rapped bout 10 mins he called me after I told da secretary "tell young dee said stop duckin him!" He is a good dude tho I told him we pretty much came to accept the fact that dey aint f*%kin wit da shoe no more.but young,tell em to make 4 dozen burgundy for old times sake he laughed an said "I wish I could man I'd do it just for yall". Yo you gotta think samsung is a billion dollar corp dey aint got no time to be worrying bout makin 6-7 stacks from Mike dey want 6-7 stacks from 100 merchants you figure,dey go for $55 a pair gotta buy a dozen thats like $660 a dozen they gotta pay Kenny and everybody else and thats just small potatoes for samsung plus dey lost money cuz of da colors like right now dey wholesaling em. I asked him how did they end up wit em anyway, he said good question.If we was dealing wit a strait up shoe vendor we coulda made some noise but these people got fashion, machinery, textile and trading divisions they aint studding no BWs.Now what needs to happen is dey need to f@#kin sell da rights to somebody who is serious about shoes GBX Steve Madden Diesel whoever. Just think if GBX or somebody that sells just shoes year round had em, they would go back to the history and make em funky ba-lee-dat. So for now all we got is all we got and I had 2 pair for over 3 yrs. So get cha' scrub brushes out clean your soles and watch your colors when you got on blue denim spray em wit dat protectant and get da spray cleaner. Yo next mission is.....to get GBX or somebody to make em like we like em.You never know what chu' can get till you ask. PEACE MY Bruvas Life,Nat,Ice,Kid,Big J holitdown,Dee Big j where you at? holla at cha' crew

Well if it's over I got six guess it 's time to move on, the clarks are next for me they still got tha flavors but I miss the sharing and put ol' heads like us on to what's up. ok alpaca sweaters & cordurfield coats. Big up every one. Life, Nat, Ice, Dee & Moo

Yo Big J man i feel your agony fam i was thinkn maybe we could all get together an get the rights they ready to scrap'em we prob can get dirt cheap it's a thought yall le me kno how yall feel. what the deal the whole BWB crew LIFE,NAT,DEE ,MO AND MY BROTHER IN AGONY BIG J.

Yo Fam(BWB) wassup, Ice I was thinking da same thing. I wonder what it would cost us cuz if we git da rights you know we gonna have da crazy colors and style. So I'm wit it. Who else is down. It's worth lookin' into. Holla back

Ayo, yall must've read my mind cuz word iz bond I was thinkin' da same thing just yesterday!! I mean dey done wit' da shoe so maybe we can cop da rights and do what we gotta do to get the flavs back man!! Big J what you think bout' dat son????

AAAAAYO, What it is crew? Yo right off da top we leavin out da bruva kidwave,Dee and Mook is da same cat,ME! We gotta support dat bruva he had a tragic and shockin experience he saw dem BWs dyin when his step pops walked in....Lord help him LOL! Yo of course I thought about dat soon as I knew dey wasnt puttin em back on da streets,but we gotta lotta things to think about like,how much can we afford,how much to make da shoes & keep da machines runnin,how are dey gon deal wit us bein dudes from da hood and and not businessman,although dat could go in our favor if we just wanna buy em to wear em,would we need a white dude(s) to help us since dey deal wit their own differently, should we get a lawyer to talk for us, along wit da fact Imma broke-ass College student but, WILL WORK FOR BRITISH WALKERS! One thing for sure is we gotta see da sales report cuz we know they lost money and we could possibly lose out too since people didnt buy da shoe(wink wink).We gotta see what they paid for da name, probably gave da owner a loan then he couldnt pay so he lost da rights so dey gave it a try. We gotta get all dis together if we cant hopefully Puff Russell Dame(maybe not) Red Alert somebody will cop da name and rep da shoe like a real 80s trooper should, do we gotta step to em like shoe lovers not businessman if we want a good deal? Or we could tell Mike to go at em he sells da most BWs period. We should consult somebody witta successful business, ask em what would you do? So come on, Lemme know cuz I'll get on da phone "QUICK FAST and in a hurry, dont worry cuz Flava vision aint blurry".....Damn where dat come from? Oh yeah PE, LOL.But for real we gotta put our minds together and go at em correctly. HOLLA BACK! Ice Life Nat Kidwave Big J. P.S I guess we lost Capps

Hate to barge the British Walker thread, but if you need mock necks, suede front sweaters hit a PRATO menswear near U. Just my .02. Fillin up my Kangol collection- Daffy's at about $10-$14 a piece. The real deal blue tags and all. Still on the hunt for sharkskins- does Wayne Brady have to tailor make a b***h?

Yeah......MOOK. Dont 4get a Brother...i still holds it down for the BW CREW!!!!!!!!Im Hard at workin on this documentary on old hip hop fashion...check for it soon..ima keep yall up to date on the status...HOLLA!!!!

Yo Crew peep dis, on some real talk. First off, most sucessful(black) biznesses started as a thought or idea from some hood ni66a's. so we don't need nobody to speak for us but us(FUBU)...Hmmm...but seriously doe. We gonna need some major backing, if we can sell this idea to someone with som paper(diddy,Russ,etc.) and have a petition from VA. to Mass. showing the market is there then we just might be able to pull this off. But bruva's gotta do they research and yo Dee, you should holla at Ahmedina's and ask general questions like how do we get the rights, what is it gonna cost to manufacture them etc. Maybe Holla at young one more and ask about the rights. Yo fezENY where is the prato located in NYC and daffy's hook a bruva wit some digit's or addresses. Holla Bac Ice, Dee, Kidwave,Big J, Life...BWB. 5000

TO MY WHOLE BW CREW PEACE I FORGOT ANYBODY NAME NO MALICE INTENDED COUNT TO TRYING TO SAY TOO MUCH TOO FAST. MOOK GOT THE RIGHT IDEA WE NEED A INSIDE TO SEE SALES AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST ACQUIRE EVERYTHING. AS FROM A MARKETING STANDPOINT I WOULD JUST PUT DEM ON ONE OF FIVE PEOPLE FEET JIGGA,PUFF,T.I.,BUSTA OR 50.BUT THATS THE EASY PART FIRST THING FIRST WE GOTTA FIND HOW MUCH IT'S GONNA COST US TO MAKE MONEY AND THE POTENTIAL INCOME WE CAN MAKE VERSUS THAT.DON'T NOBODY TRIP ON MONEY AS LONG AS GOD GIVES US BREATHE WE CAN MAKE THAT. I AIN'T YELLIN I ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS.SPECIAL SHOUT TO MY BIG HOMIE KIDWAVE.PEACE.AS ALWAYS TAKE NOTICE AND TAKE CHARGE.ONE.

Yo fezENY, ne'er mind about the adress for prato's I got it. Thanx tho' Yo, Ice you right if we can get dem cat's you name to bite you know we in there....just one thing tho' you ever wonder why nobody else ever came up wit this idea like dem cat's, you think somebody already tried this...I wonder, but we still gon try our thang anyway. PEACE!!!

Thats sound like a good Idea but no red alert or fubu cause they'll just get greedy and charge to much. Red is already affiliated with this site old school british walkers and they want $150.00 now I don't know about You Cats but I don't Love BW's that much some times less is more. If We could get the rights we would get off because we know all the favors plus we could add more hot favors and styles to the template even make a female verson of the shoe in more soft colors and a heel. what do you think?

Also this company says they didn't make BW's back in the some how palado or how ever you spell his is the original designer but lost the rights some where then this kadeems took over but didn't research a damm thing and then put out the last two styles of BW's with less than half the colors. Red Alert 7 Fubu Gonna want To Money they are GREEDY for the dow once more for them it would be about the money only not for the love of the shoe. If We Took over not only could we bring back all flava & styles even make some female verson of the shoe with soft souls and heels like Timberland has done the combo would endless. Holla back maybe we are on to some thing.

Bruvas, Big J waddup been missinin action troop. Yo Nat Im very articulate Im capable of talkin wit anybody and keepin up. What I was sayin is they would welcome and open doors for dem/dat dude not usually open to us. Now Diddy Russ Jigga 50 any of dem dudes wouldnt need us they could dig in their pocket and pay for the rights cuz dey cant want no more than 10 stacks, "the shoe isnt popular no more it resurfaced and flopped aint no whole lotta promise,its a narrow consumer base, urban males 36 and over stores might not buy cuz they lost money on em before" I would go at em like dat, "See we takin over a failing bizness because we wanna wear da shoe forever" I would go at em like dat,just give em reasons why we shouldnt "aint no money in dis shoe,buyin dem as is is risky bizness, truth be told this shoe is washed up,history dats why yall discontinued em." Puff and Jay and 50 Russ would get more respect from dem cuz dey already rich. As far as Red you right J dey wanted $150 for shoes dey paid $50 for, maybe they tried to get em maybe they lost out maybe dey had 7 heads in on it dats why dey charged $150, maybe nobody is on dis BW sh!t real hard like us. My thing was if we fail maybe one of dem ni66as wit da doe like 50 Puff or Russ would jump on it. We love em cuz we luv em, they about money. I meant I would ask a real slick bizznessman in order not to pay too much and about all da angles. If we get em we will run it right cuz its all love hear me? As for khadims Big J we concluded dey sell hard bottoms not these joints. Imma ask young who I should talk to about "relieving em of dis flop", we need to see exactly what dey want. Now Mike is prime he is gettin em off he got da doe Id rather see him wit em then Puff and them cuz then, dey goin for at least $125 trust me.So lets see whats up, PEACE Deezel

Big J I meant to tell you undergroundstation got Clarks now I seen em on sale for 69.99 out here my man got em in flavas, had on brown today,but they got da clarks tag on em. Their site had em for 79.99 but they called Clarks Padmore look just like Wallys I had two tabs open comparing em. The Padmores got gum rubber sole like the beige BWs the wallys got a bumpy sole I aint no Clarks expert I had a couple pair, but check it out go to their website underground station.com then google clark wallabees pull em both up and compare em. I was thinkin bout coppin some last time I was at da mall but I chilled.

Well I've seen Busta with a pair already @ an award show he had brown & beige pair and a custom made leather & suede outfit in the same colors if you research it you have to go back about 2 or 3 years, Nas also rocks them and Playboys. cause of that japan has been buying them that's the reason for the small sizes.

Yeah Sun Clark are ok my older brother had them all Clark is the brand and wally is the style just after the got real known then they started putin' the clark name tag on them.

Yeah J I see aint no difference except the newer joints called padmore has a gum sole and the old wallys got da crepe sole. I saw one site where they called padmores wallabee boot. They used to have a tag on da lace wit "wallabee" but now they have a red small "clarks" tag on da shoe like I said I aint no Clarks expert I only had 2 pair in 20 yrs I just always saw em second to BWs but my man got all flavas suede and leather.They got low and hi but they dont feel like BWs at all. Yo give me BWs before Mauri Gators, and dats my word. Nat Life Ice Kidwave get at me Dog PEACE Dee

I got 3 pairs of British n 4 pairs of Playboys for Mike's...I got 3 knit mocks, all that's missing is the suede pocket...And...For the piece de resistance', I have 2...yes...2 vintage Cortefiels which I will not disclose my source cause it was I that put the information about Mike's on the British Walker blog and blew him up...I got a 1979 Cortefiel, tan w/brown fur collar, n a brown 1977 one with the two flap pockets, leather trim around the chest n back....Whew...I'm single-handedly bringing Cortefiels back.....Ha.....

OK fam what's the deal. I see a lot of talk about British Walkers; as I stated some time ago I do have the newer versions, the one's that Red Alert was hawking that are supposed to be legit; got 1st pair from 125th Street some time ago and then 2nd pair from Jamaica Avenue. Now, about 2004 a good friend of mine put me on to someone that had some DEADSTOCK Britishers from the 80's and I wish I'd have got more pairs from him but he was hard to get in contact with. In any case, I see that this site says no links or other codes allowed, but hopefully y'all brothas will be able to see this link before it gets deleted - http://doublepromo.com/british.jpg or just string this all together: http:// doublepromo. com/ british. jpg now I defo gotta see what the deal is with the mock necks and these Bally shoes that are supposed to be in Brooklyn.

http://doublepromo.com/british.jpg Check out the pic before the link disappears ...

Thanks Life I just got 4 pair from Mikes 3 12s and a 10.5 for my son. I already got him turned on to Clarks line the Desert Trek, The Desert Boot; and the Wallabees. I trying to get my pair of Ice BWS dyed any ideas. Also looking for some Delta Force Nikes. Once again Life thanks peace almighty.

omg...................them joints are pure fiyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!im so jealous im ready to jump out a closed window RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you guys need to stop with the subterfuge about trying to find Cortefiel coats; they are a Spanish (Spain) company that's been around for a century - diligent searches on the Internet can find their clothing, as well as checking out their official website www.cortefiel.es

Double P Thanks for the pic. The ones at Mikes are from the original company but thay are reissue. you can tell by the lable on the back and the lining is a lower grade leather. The 80's joints have calf skin lining everything was made better than.

Yeah I have two pair of the reissues (come with the black cloth bags); the deadstock Britishers were in an individual plastic bag. I'mma take more pics of them when I get home and provide images. I also copped some deadstock 616 Cazal's from Germany (cost me about $700). Now, lemme find some teardrop two-tone AJ Lesters so I can iron open the side flap ........ LOL

Yo DoublePromo, Are you saying we can't get any other color's besides the one's at mike's? Does Jamaica Ave still have some? Dat pic of dem all black leather joint's was FIYAH!...You right Kidwave, I'ma be right behind you when you jump!LMAS!! I got some mock's from downtown same place I got my plaids, look up at my last post. Plus I copped some real Ol' Skool Mock's offa' EBAY in the vintage clothes section under 1965-1972. You can find all kind's of gear on EBAY and EBAY U.K. PEACE CREW! KEEP IT OL' SKOOL!

Whats good my "BW CREW" Ayo double those british are da truth bee!!!! Thats what da h$ll I'm talkin bout' Yo We gotta get those sh&ts back man. Yo Nat Ragga Muffins got like 3 #'s yo here they are 718-287-0346,718-287-0346,718-284-3399 but yo, da # I'd been blowin' up is the 287-0346 but they DON'T answer da horn. You may have better luck than me though fo' real homie cause I tried!! These shoe ni66as act as if they don't wanna make no ends yo!!! Hit em up son and holla back ONE!! Mook where ya at baby!!!

That pic is the Britisher Holy Grail, you see the texture on that leather. That pic is bringing back olfactory sense memories and visual nostalgia of house parties, roller rinks, belt buckles, and 2 finger rings, ah.... youth was good.

Dayum I had left another ocmment but it ain't here no mo' ....... I called Mike's Shoe Plaza and Mike said he's got more Britishers in stock, all colors and all sizes ... gotta cop a pair of the white ones tomorrow for this boat party in the summer where the gear is all white; I'mma look for some white Lee twills (talk about going wilbur wayback), a white mock neck or white nylon tee, and the white Britishers ... that's what I'm talking about!

This is how I like to keep it gully: a pair of 616 Cazals (tinted lenses with the gold frame on top of the lenses), a pair of 607 Cazals (clear frames), and a pair of Playboys (all on top of a Technics turntable) ..... http://doublepromo.com/gangsta.jpg ... all I need is a Gemini 5000 mixer, a bottle of Ole' Bing, and fight someone 52 style ....

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! Yall know Im dying right now yo dis ni66a got all leather tie-ups! Yo notice the soles just like da ones on da burgundy all suede slip-ons plus notice the spot where da B was at on ours and on da burgundy ones but back to dem joints Double Promo got, yo remember I told dat ni66a MoMo the old shoe had Britishers on da tag and it wasnt leather(Feb.7).I read Dub Pro's DEADSTOCK post 3 days ago and the way he was talkin I thought he didnt have em any more cuz yall know I woulda been asked Dub to snap a flick and send it to me so I can dish it out like "Magic" Yo this tells me one thing same thing me and Nat be sayin IT IS DUDES OUT THERE WIT DA OLD SCHOOL BWs and I think dudes dont know how much dudes like us REALLY want em.Yo Incub you right these are British Walkers but samsung america owns em and they aint have a clue on what to do so dats why we got what we got. Yo I was gonna buy some suede Ice and dye em too, right Life, right Nat but da way I feel now F**k Mike and Marc and I hope they read this I got a pair of all black tie ups offa ebay from dis dude uptown. Yo Dub Pro you gotta try to find dat kid man pleeeez yo, we will help you we need what you got son bad.MixMaster Ice what it is?

What Up Big J? Yo look at dat box son big white square wit da word Britishers no "Original" told yall(Feb.17)of course I bookmarked dat, da burgundy all suede, and all da slick ones on my firefox son so I can stare at em...more. Now yall dudes who know, know when I say "I told you"only to confirm my memory not to say yall dont.Yo lookin at dat box got me open son I feel 18 real talk plus somebody top page said these joints was made in Greece I forgot who but we all remember bits and pieces Big J you was right on wit dat Thom McCan(?)knock off. Yall holla back MixMaster I-C-E what-da-deel yo. Yo Promo aint no subterfuge on here every once in a while we get an Idiot or two but we tell em "beat it wit dat Bulls**t" we share on dis one. Dee

I wish I did know how to get in contact with this dude for the deadstock Britishers but again this was 2004 and unfortunately I have no way of getting in contact with him; if I did I'd defo let y'all know, and if I ever do find out how to contact him I'll post it here. I remember seeing a poster on a bus for VIM and they had some shoes that looked like the old skool Bally Aden's (ankle-high lace-up joints) but I'm thinking it was GBX that was making them but don't see them on their site. Funny thing is that I actually bought a pair of GBX fugazi Playboy's not knowing that I could still find the official UK joints, and by the time I found that out I couldn't return the GBX's so I gave them to a friend (I hadn't even worn them) and copped the brown joints from Mike's. I'm that old skool dude just like y'all here ... it's all about authentic for me. I still wear Adidas Superstars with the off-white shelltoe and sole - remember getting them from Jew Man back in the day, back when Alexanders was on 3rd Ave in the Bronx, and there was a Florsheim's on 149th Street and there was a sneaker store right across the street, back then when Pro-Cons were the knockoff Pro-Keds. One of my regrets - back in 2001 I moved and I still had about 7-8 pair of my original Bally's (black suede ankle high laceups, olive green ankle high suede laceups, blue low laceups, two pair of red with creme sole laceups, two pair of tan laceups), and I left them in one of the closets when I moved - was never able to get them back. If they come back out, I honestly wouldn't want Diddy or Jay Z to put them out unless it had the official Bally seal of approval and they were identical in every way ... I wasn't feeling how Jay Z's sneakers cold bit the 80's Gucci sneakers but eventually copped a few pair of them as they were comfortable.

Yeah Promo I read every post on here, when you said Shells wit da dingy toe (and sole)I knew you was just like us yo we was so fresh in da 80s and every one of us Me, Big J, Ice, Kid, Nat, Life, dignify da old school wit some type of old school gear cuz to me we did it like no other, these kids out here aint got no identity back then you knew who was a hip-hopper who was street and all dat cuz we put it on. Now these younginz dress like a-body else we separated ourselves from da old heads by our dress code dats all we really had to rep and us on this site still rep it cuz its where we came from. As far as Diddy and them only if da shoe wouldnt be seen again then I wouldnt mind other than dat they would switch em up raise da price like big John said. But if we keep tryin somebody gonna bring some old school BWs outta the closet then we gon feast word! Promo thanks for da flick good to see you back hang around kid take off you shoes get comfortable kid. Dee

Yo..Mook..remember I said they were made in greece??????????My mans the Legendary Ken Swift told me that he still owns a pair of green suade joints!!(can't wait to see em)and I'm gonna take pictures this time of those and the red/black tie ups!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WASSUP BWB, DUBPRO YOU BRINGING BACK MAD MEMORIES WIT DA STORE'S. I REMEMBER GOING TO THE JEW-MAN ON SIMPSON AND SOUTHERN BLVD. IN THE BRONX FOR THE STRADLER'S, PINSTRIPE CARDIGAN'S. Remember when florsheim's was on 125th and you could get the Bally's from there. Walk up the block to DE HARDEST HARD and get dat fire Bhuddha Ces! Yo, Dem was the day's! I remember Alexander's! Damn son that was '78-'79 when I was runnin' up in there. I had a pair of da red suede bally boot's and the olive green they was the shiznit wit some plaids and a mock for real.

Just came from Mike's again - I copped the black leather Playboys as they don't have anymore of the blue ones. I wanted the Ice laceup Britishers but he only had the slip-ons but I was never feeling the slip-ons even back in the day, though the slip-ons I did have had the wide leather tassle on them. Playboys are still at a buck-eighty which is liveable. Now I gotta find the Ice lace-ups. Didn't have time to go to Prato's for some mock necks but will check them out next week. Haven't been in that store since the early 90's when I used to get silk shirts to rock with the leather pants and Bally's (aka Bal-dogs) .... Oh and thanks to everyone for welcoming a brotha here .....

DNM, LLC Owner Address: 43 Carroll Drive Englewood Cliffs NEW JERSEY 07632 this is palladio in jersey anybody out there that can check this for all us

I'd be very happy if someone knew where I could get a pair of white/Ice Britishers laceup size 9.5

YOOOooo KIDWAVE, YOU DA MUTHA F*#*#ING MAN!!! DAT PICTURE OF YA FAVORITE JOINT'S IS ILL SON!! WORD UP.I justed copped a pair of the red suede puma joints. SO YOU KNOW I GOTTA COME ATCHA' HARD CAUSE YOU REPRESENTED TO DA FULLEST YO! DAMN! I'M SPEECHLESS...when we get this reunion together you know everybody gotta rock some FRESH GEAR!!. LOL!

I'm still searching for da chams INCUBATINGINK. I'm looking for da one's that had the word CHAMS written all over da shirt, I had a burgundy, beige, and brown joint back in da day. So Keep looking we gon' git there. BWB HOLLA BACK AND HOLD IT DOWN!!!

Yo Ice what it is baby,son we been thru dat I posted dat jan.23 dem dudes aint in business no more samsung some how for some reason got da rights da old guy Kenny who goes hand to hand for them said he been down since da Palladio days and dats dead. Yo if we could find out who Palladio is/was you said it is a greek name da box says made in Greece so its a matter of was they sending their joints over here to Jersey or was they making em for somebody in Jersey. It would be nice to get a hold of somebody from Palladio who could get it poppin for us.Kid W I tried to go to dat link it said da pics are no longer available earlier, maybe I did something wrong but you know Im always ready to go back to da 80s son.Prome Kid gotta tax ID no dats what you need to cop from Kenny he sells em 40 a pair 1 doz minimum maybe summa us can get together and get a doz or 2 I got kennys math. Im on my way in ta hit dat clock and eat sleep watch TV and get online all nite for a check not bad huh? A-body Bee Good Peace Deezel

what up bwb i tried to research palladio it's coming up as an italian shoe company with just hard bottoms if we get a dozen dats $480 i got half 240 or a third 160. u could get 12prs=$480,6prs=240 or 4prs=160.holla and i give you my math.holla to my whole crew. old and new,take notice and take charge.if you think you can.ONE,mook,big jizz,wave,nat,life,promo,griff yo mike# is 212-921-8218.a4 gone.

What up Crew, Yo Ice you right, I came up wit da same thing. I think palladio's had a manufacturing plant in Greece dat's why they say made in greece. But it is an Italion name and company. I'm still tryin' and diggin'I'm not givin' up. Yo Crew Did yooz get da pic's I sent out of da Colt playboy's, they nice right. 5000 BWB.

If we can get some leather joints or some delicious flavors like green, blue, burgundy and gray we can make it happen.

The ones from Mikes are made in China, with cheap labour and globalization that seems reasonable. What we need to find out is if the Palladio commishened the reissue or if they sold or leased the rights to some other entity.

The ones we got from Mikes are made in China. What we have to do is find out if Palladio commissioned the reissue or if they sold or leased the rights to some other entity

Whats up my dunz,Yo Incub some how samsung america owns the rights to the shoe they aint interested in them any more they gettin so much money in other ways. My thing is da people who used to own em turned em over to samsung because of a debt and these were one or da only assests,picture dat dis multi billion dollar corp (look at their site see all da s**t they make)interested in a shoe from da 80s mainly sold in da hood go figure. If ni66as had da doe we would buy the rights cuz they aint caring bout em right now, yo a-body aint on em like us some to some dudes it was a 80s thing but to MOST its a ressurection thing. But yo they came out wit wak colors,yo how many pair of todays BWs would you buy if all da old flavas and styles was out?....Exactly, they lost out so they keepin it movin. You right these joints is made in China and we know what you meant when you said da reasons why in da 80s s**t was built to last but now its called cost maintainance f**k how long da S!#t lasts. Yo we can make it happen tho its too many dudes on da site dats hungry ya heard?.Ice Big J Kid Prome Life and my dude Nat (I called you back last nite son)Hold it down baby Hold it down. Dee

My grandfather once alot off things in this world is free you just got to ask fot it. No i am not sayin they gone just give us the rights but made we can get them for song. We need a plan of attack and someone with corporate negotiation skill.

These do not look like the ones I saw at Mikes. Are they? http://harlemshops.com/MEN%27sWalk_img-folder/Men%27s%20Walker_shoes_page2.htm http://harlemshops.com/MEN%27sWalk_img-folder/Men%27s%20Walker_shoes_page8.htm

Yo we gotta be mindful of the fact they ask us not to post other links so if we do it it gotta be moderately cuz this is a British Walkers page but we use it for communicating and interacting so in other words we cant afford to lose this page so if you gotta link lets post our email address and pass it on like that cuz I dont want to snatch dis joint cuz we aint complying wit da rules aight. FRESH FOR 2009 MY NI66AS

The Bdubs that are being sold today are not the real joints.I bought a pair of the black lace ups and the bottoms were rock hard.I had several pair back in the day and they were very comfortable.Maybe we need to talk to Diddy,Jay-Z,Russell or somebody about coming back out with British.I think FatJoe tried to come back out with British a few years ago

The bottoms should be a gum sole like the Wallies. The Wallies are made in China now to but they have mantained high quality.

Yo CREW wassup, uneek the bottoms are hard because the black BW's got the black bottoms and they shouldn't. They are real, they're just a different style. Just like the different style Jordan's comes out wit time to time, But they still Jordan's. They're not the 80's version we all know and love, they're the 2000 version and something is better than nothing, right. they're real suede, real leather, the sole on all of them except black is a liiiittle harder than the original crepe souls but they aight. Like my Ink said we got to try an get the rights so we can get the original joints plus so new flava dat only ni66's from the street can come up wit and git it poppin' again. So CREW, keep pluggin' we gon git it right....soon. Like Mr. Magic used to say on friday night before he went off and Marly came on..."Persistence overcomes resistance". Holla Baby!!!

Griff, the pic with the olive green joints - those are either the Britishers version or the GBX version of Playboys - in other words they are foooogayzees - look where the double-stitch line is, how it comes up from the sole and then cuts across to the top of the shoe - it's a sharp angle - the official Sanders Playboys it's a rounded edge. Also, where the sole meets the shoe, there is a smoothed out rubberized strip - that's not there on the official joints. Uneek - I think a few reasons why they're different is because of today's technology and mass production of shoes and sneakers. Just like how the Nike AF1's have been redone and redone; just like the Pro-Keds and Puma Clyde's and Basket's aren't exactly identical to the ones made in the 70's. It's only a matter of time before Donna Karan comes back out with the DKNY's from the mid 90's; I still have one of my pair ..... http://www.doublepromo.com/dk1.jpg

Oh, as far as kicks go, as well as rocking the dingy shelltoe Adidas, I like the Samba's, the Rod Laver's, the Forest Hills', and the Consortium Tennis Super which I liked so much I bought four pair .... I'll take it easy with the links but if y'all ain't up on the Consortium Tennis Super - peep these .... http://www.republicaupdate.com/images/2008/05/07/adidas_tennis_super.jpg ... is anyone here on FaceBook? Mebbe we can create a FaceBook page dedicated to old skool gear.

DAMN DOUBLE P, you got everything yo!LOL Dooz DKNY joint's is tight, I almost forgot about dem joint's. Also on the GBX(Giorgio Brutini)the rubber that goes around the back heel comes up too high. On the original playboy's they didn't come up that high, The R J Colt's are the closest you gonna get to da real joints. I just copped a pair of the Ostrich skin and lizard joints. Mike's got some wit the gum soles too. Dooz GBX's are too pointy. Did anybody go check Raggamuffin's in BK to see about da Bally's. Keep ya eye's open CREW. We on a mission! PEACE

Yeah....lets do what promo said i get that facebook joint poppin......eerybodee hit me on facebook...sham brown is the name!!!

Sham, I hit you up on FB; anyone been to Raggamuffin to confirm they got official Bal-dogs? Yeah it's easy to call the store and find out but I rarely believe what shoestore personnel tell me as they'll sometimes say anything to get you in there ....

Yo....I need them Red slip ons and them blue ones..how much dude charge for them??????

Yooo I just hit you on face book kidwv my name is Dee matthews son da dude aint sellin no more for sum reason he only gettin off one pair I told him to lemme know cuz ni66as will clean him out word.Prome whats your facebook name son?

Found Green and White PUMAs at Ebay Au Sz 8.5 and 9.5 nothing bigger.

Yo fellas tell me when was the very first time that you saw someone rockin a pair of British back in the day. I was on the 6 TRAIN gettin off at Hunts Point and I saw these two brothers rockin a pair and blasting a Zulu Nation tape.

Yo Inc, I found dem green puma joint's a couple weeks back and posted . I found a site in Taiwan that got ALL DA FLAVORS YOU WANT AND THEN SOME! I ordered da beige suede w/ blue stripe joints and the tobacco tan w/ beige stripe. Only thing is you gonna spend some cheese on them but you not gonna find them NO WHERE ELSE. they gonna run about 100.00 shipping and handling. Go to Good multi.com punch in puma suede at the top and check out da colors. I got to look for da other taiwan site wit dayellow w/ black stripe, white suede w/ orange stripe, white suede w/ da green stripe...MAD COLORS! Soon as I find it I'ma post it. But this site should get you started. Holla Back Crew!!

Yo Uneek, you was heading my way on da 6 train I was up da way in soundview so you know we was rockin da B-dubbs all day wit da zulu beads. Ya heard. Zulu kings All Day!!!

I was one of the brovas dat got stuck up for my first pair of b-dubbbs.Yep,a nigga went home barefooted.This cat even took my nylon socks that I was wearin.But I got several pair after that...but I also had the heat wit me.

Yooooo! What it iz my dunnies? Peace to the whole BWB crew Ink have you heard from Young or anybody from Samsung? I see since we made da switch bruvas aint communicating as much and we know dat wasn't da aim we just wanted somewhere to post and reminisce about da 80s without somebody booting us off their site. But from what I see dudes aint fraternizing no more I understand Pookside is different than this site being you can just hop on and post a shout, pass info or share whatever but we still gotta keep it BWB daily like we been doing. Maybe Kid gotta set da joint up where we can just hop right on and shout like dis one but we cant let da camaraderie fade cuz then wont be no BWB word. So sayin all dat to say dis,BWB we gotta get back to da regular communication if it be continuing to post on inthe80s so be it if they front we still got our own spot. We also gotta help Kid get his joint fined tuned to fit our agenda and our style so stop by Kids jammie and post sumthin or comment or whatever but we gotta check in on dis joint a-day cuz dis is da foundation of sumthin bigger ya heard? BigJ,Ice, Kid,Life,Nat,Ink,Prome,Neek,WE R ONE! Peace to Kurtis Blow,Davy DMX,TLa Rock &Love Starski Dee

For dress you better wear a beaver hat and shine up those gaters. When I went to playball at the Rucker with boy's of yesteryear I wore my Spaldings with the red triangle on the toebox, those were the day's my brother, those were the days

Mr. Thorbourne, That was beautiful...That was truly a stroll down memory lane. What else can I say.

I wish so bad we could bring those times back all the innocence and vagueness that existed when this thing first started who knew or expected it to blow to this status today.

Yo Imma go back to that page cuz nothin brings me joy like lookin back at them days knowin even being in da crowd we was a part of it word up.

It will take to long ta skool dis kid. Didn't he see them at the TOP OF DA PAGE!...SHOUT OUT TO KIP'S BAY, BRONXDALE PROJECTS, ACADEMY GARDENS, CASTLE HILL PROJECTS, HOLLA' BABY!

Thinkin back the last pair of British that I was rockin was the dark blue joints with the velcro strap.I had seen the boot type but they lost me on those.My favorite had to have been the dark blue lace-up joints wit da tassle or my burgundy and grey slip-ons. KEEP BRITISH ALIVE BABY !!!! You cats got me listening to a Amazing 3 tape (Ravon,Johnny Wah,E-man and Dj.Shoeshine) all the real heads know about them niggas !!!! I am sure we all have the Flash,Cold Crush,Zulu Nation,Jazzy 5,joints or have atleast heard them because back in da day tapes was everywhere.And if you havent...theres no way dat you could be apart of da ole skool baby!!!! MC'S back then use to bring it and alot of deez cats today would have been robbed on principle at a outside jam !!! and thats my word !!!!

I remember cats use to play ball in a pair of British after they were dogged out....thats how comfortable the shoes were.So Johnny Smove ,thats how and why we all had um and why we still want um.....case closed !!!!

Johnny Smoove what prompted you to this site yo,you either too young or not from da East Coast Virginia to Boston we banged these joints in the 80s hard rocks wit hoodies puffed leather bombers sheepskins or pretty boys wit shark skins mock necks,whatever. All slick ni66as and lames wore em cuz they was a MUST have for everybody. Other than that we cant give you nuffin we can guide you to some sites but you'll just say what a-body else that aint from that time says "whats the big deal" they aint all that. Its a couple pair on top of this page but not the exact ones we lookin for you dont have the ties we have to them, the style, the era,the beggining of hip-hop cuz thats the only place you'll see a real pair in an old hip-hop flic, so thats your lesson on British Walkers now let us get our page back we been on this mission for months and we close to crackin the case aight. Mix Master Ice holla at me man, Big J you still there?

Yo Johnny,I didnt mean to come off negative to you at all.I just got excited about the days of old.I just wish that you could have been around for the park jams and such.Its kinda like going to see Kid Capri or Doug E.Fresh live or in these days.Brovas really took pride in being fly and British,Playboys,Mock necks,Chams,Sheepskins,Lees,Kangols all played a part.It was like a movement.If you can get the book called Back In The Days by Shabazz.You can get somewhat of a visual

Kiddo what up cuzin.Yo them dudes had the same beige suede & brown leather jammies on their page as a-body else did. Maybe back in the day they had the Palladios but I doubted he had em recently. Kiddo Im lovin them Burgundy wallys on dat page Gee. Im developing a fondness to wallys since I saw them joints on your FAVS page. Clark makes something called Padmores now they Moccasins not wallys, wallys are more curved than Padmores. Oh yeah you can still get to their site check it out. Audi

The sista in brick city told me she got some stock from a spot that closed in the city, could be from Mens. Like chase said by that time they had the reissues

I went to Men's Walker last June and they only had 2 colors of British, Rust n brown, and I think the blue n Brown. They had some wally's about 6 colors and some playboys...about the same as mike's and dude said they wasn't gettin' no more. I guess after they sold out the B-dubbs they closed up shop and sold their stock to somebody else, maybe Mike's got'em. But Men's Walker is dead. Yo, what's da update on raggamuffins... BWB keep Pluggin' sumthin gonna come through. PEACE!

I'm blessed to find my Old School Brotha's from the Brits/Playboy/Mockneck days.. What's up.. Im feeling the Love in here.. Ok down to business. I am in VA and just bought my bus ticket to NYC to cop some of the old Britishers. What's up.. Can I still get them or what.. if so where? Also.. where are the Mocks/YSL's/Cazals.. i want the whole set.. B Boy dayzzz Rules

OcieNJC In Meeca here is the number for the BWS mikes# is 212-921-8218 About 2 blocks from the Port Authority acroos the steet under the scaffaling. In Mediena nostrand and herkimer at this store called bravo they got the closest i have seen to the real mock necks 1 for dub 2 for trey pound. Cazals you can catch online for about 6 YSLs I'm still looking for welcome and goog luck

OcieNJC Here is Mikes# is 212-921-8218 you might can hit him if he has ur size he is in Meeca about 2 blokcs from the Port Authority.In Mediena Ice found the closest he has have seen to the real mock necks on nostrand and herkimer at this store called bravo 1 for dub 2 for trey pound. Cazals you can catch online for about 6 I am still looking fo YSLs welcome and good luck.

Thats good looking out. Called Mikes and he said he is holding a couple of pair for me. Also, got to hit the mock necks up. I think we got enough support in this room to market the Old School Fashions and I bet we would make some good money. Whats the latest word on the production of the Brits? Is the guy in India going to keep making them or what? any word.. ???

Yo OCIENJC, If you go half way up or more you can read some blogs on the company from India etc.etc. It would take too long to update you. But that is a dead issue.

Yo OC them dudes Mike and them word aint $#!t,yeah he told you that, but if a ni66a come in the store wit da doe first he will sell the joints no matter how fast you plan on coppin em. We held them dudes down on dis site real heavy man, I needed him to hold me down 1 stinkin pair of $50 shoes and them dudes sold them after they both said they had em "put up for me" so thats why I dont answer when dudes come on da site lookin for British Walkers. So hurry up cuz even though they sold 3000 pair that $50 means the world to them crabs. What up British Walkers crew Mookey Dee on da scene sayin 1Luv to all my Dunz Big J,Ink,Neek,Nat,Life,Kidwave,Prome,and my mellow Ice iz Nice.

What up BW Crew I had a feeling this dude was a fake cause I typed British walker in all ways on the web and found nothing but I did find this site & The BW Crew and I'm Cool with that! big upcrew. We gonna keep it rolling.

Mookey, got it. Thanks.. Big J, I know thats right. $50 they will sell them joints in a heartbeat.. I am just hoping they have something for me when I get to NYC on Sat morning.. Thanks for the Ups.. keep it rollin

Peace to all of the B-dub crew !! This is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.I really want the old joints to come back.If the Britishers (palladio)joints came back out...all of Nyc and jersey would be rockin um.They say that history repeats itself.....lets see what happens.Does anyone have any info?That one cat really fronted on us with the Germany bit but we gotta keep it movin !!!!!

Quick question. Does anyone know of a site that may have some old school pics from the Deuce ?? Back in the day cats would take mad pics on the deuce....We all would have flashbacks.Did anyone cop that book called...Yes Yes Yall......gotta get it(mad old school pics)

The Old School is in full effect! Thanks for all the info on Britishers! The store "Men's Walkers on 125th is closed down now, I just left there about an hour ago. Mike's on 8th says he has stock up to size 10, no more big foot sizes. Playboys are also being made by RJ Colt now and can be found all over the city. Shoegasm on 23rd between 5th and 6th close to Home Depot has them in all colors and sizes- no British though. The Mock necks are coming up all over the city in mostly mom and pop shops. i got three from a spot on 14th street between 2nd and 3rd- small store near City Gym. good luck to you brutha's finding our old school gear.

Yo BWB, Me. Mook and Ice will be meeting up at Mike's next friday. Anybody else down post it on this site. We gonna hit a few spots and take some flicks. Get at me Crew!

I wanna add something I was thinking about rockin' dem old man button up shirts with the design on both side like a barber shirt with the mck under before it gets to hot, hope I can cop a corter field by next winter.

Yo BIG J, What's da deelio? I was checkin' dem joints out too. they look like them old bowling shirts. Da Italians be rockin dem joints in da old movies they played in. I seen a couple in EBAY vintage clothes. I might get me a few too. Where you at Double P, KIDWAVE, HOLLA BACK!

Funny I left a comment yesterday but it's gone. Tango, if the Playboys ain't made by Sanders Shoes UK they ain't legit Playboys - they're fugazi.

Oh the ones the latins rocked, we could them barber or old man shirts. you can catch some linen ones to rock on one of those sunny cool days or brisk nights and the texture contrast between the linen and the mock with something suede on the feet bannnng-in.

Yo somebody just was talkin bout they was on Delancy and they saw some old man joints last week I thought it was Ice or Neek I may be wrong. But if they out there hit Nat he know where they are.

what up bwb on my way to mike to get two pair ice joints one to keep the other to play around with the dye with i'm thinking burgundy and white or grey an white whatever when i'm done i'm postin flicks.if they don't have the flavas we want let's make our own family . this may our last shot let's go all out. holla. jay,dub p,ink,neek,wave,life,onjc,mook,nat and the new homie tango.1.(TNTC).we linkin on Good Friday at mikes and hittin up a few other spots u down be around.

Make sure they are good the two tone with the white tends to bleed.I was thinking cranberry and charcole gray or hunter green, keep posted on the out come.

Hey Double P, I went by Mike's Shoe Plaza today. The Britishers are the real deal and they have the Playboys by Sanders as well. Copped a Black pair of BW, definitely the move.

Yooooooooooo,What da deal-eyo? Yo I missed da 80s throw back party last nite, Nat when we hung up I went to my girls house and sat on da bed that turned into layin on it, that turned into wake me up at 10:30 that turned into "what time is it?" "It's 3'o clock." Man I was vexed yo I coulda done some networking a few dudes have told me they seen dudes wit Palladios on out here and I know a dude woulda banged em last night if he had em word,but Imma call some dudes and do some diggin....damn.Yo Ice hit me if you go to the city I was sleeping yesterday son.BWB WHAT UP! Peace to you Ron Paul I know,da city you had to go is big as $#!t and you lost dont worry somebody will find you and escort you back to the barracks aight. Peace to da realest,BWB Holla!

to small for me vintage DAMON grey leather patch sweater M Italy HOT http://cgi.ebay.com/vintage-DAMON-grey-leather-patch-sweater-M-Italy-HOT_W0QQitemZ110370110455QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVintage_Men_s_Clothing?hash=item110370110455&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A3%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A100

Peace and Love to all my 80's brothas and Sistas if you are peeping. Just got back from my Bus trip to NYC. Found Mikes and just like All Nat said, they are the real deal but only size 10 and the Mustard and Brown's they have 10/5. I copped 3 pair. Two pair, one black on black and the other Tan and Brown. The playboys werent the real deal, but they had good imitations, which i aint bout that. LOL.. I did cop a pair of Britishers playboys which because of the name and quality, will definitely rock them. Mike said he only has a few pair left and will be sold out within 3 days, so if you are going, better get moving. I couldn't find the Mock Necks anywhere. The joint btwn 36 and 37th on 6 ave has some Mock Neck shirt, nothing like the real deal. I am looking for the mocks with the button up on one side of the collar to the neck with the white piping around the collar. Those are the Legit's .. Also looking for the old Shark Skins, any word on them? and if anybody know of where I can cop a Robert Kline Vneck sweater that we rocked over top of the Mocks with the stripes .. let me know.. BTW.. Mike selling the Brits for 50 dollars.. Yes 50 dollars.. and he is aware that others are selling for 120-150, but said, oh well. That man is not hurting for any money.. Well lets keep it moving, peace Brothas, and sistas.. Oh I met another 80's brother in the store from Jersey city, took a pic of him, my partner and Mike holding a pair of Brits.. will try and post it somewhere. He bought like 7 pair.

Just an update of what we got left before they are gone forever or until someone makes them again. So frustrating that these idiots can make money IF THEY JUST LISTEN TO US. But they don't give a damn. Black slipon 7.5-10 (except 8.5),Blue (7.5-9), Brown (7.5-10) Rust (7.5-10.5), Black tieups (7.5-9.5 except 8.5), Rust tieups (8-11), beige slipons (7.5-10).

british were so hot that rodney dangerfield wore them in his movie"easy money".he had the two toned dark blue and light blue joints.

mr kay it's funny you mentioned Dangerfield and Britishers - the late Sam Kinison used to sport the old skool Bally shoes we rocked - I remember reading that in an interview in GQ magazine mad years ago he said he loved them because they were comfortable - I think there was even a picture of him rockin' a pair. I wish that Mike's had more colors in tie-ups as I'm just not feeling the slip-ons - I don't like the wide leather flap on the top of the shoe.

ATTENTION .................... ATTENTION .................... FYI y'all I just peeped the Samsung America site and there is a new style Britisher lace-up shoe on there - tan laceup with what looks like creases across the top of the shoe - http://www.samsungamerica.com/Graphics/britisher.asp

Yo Double P, Mook posted that site back in february with dat same shoe we knew it was there but kenny da kid dat work for them is frontin' on getting them out. He said he don't know what's the name of the shoe. Yo ask mook he can tell you better than me. But it was posted feb. 19 up top. PEACE!

what up to the new kid on the block mr kay that my man from way back jack. what up to my other bwb crew? yo double raggamuffin is owned by jews so they are always closed on saturdays open ever other day keep diggin yall we gon strike gold

AllNat thanks for the info. I remember seeing info about the Samsung site on here but I didn't recall seeing that Britisher on the page. It's kinda tight too. Ice I wish I did have time to make it to Raga - actually I'm off for a few days in a few days - just might take that trek over there.

Oh that's way thay was closed, for shabas. Thanks Ice I got to pick up my Bally's from the cobller on DeKalbe Friday so I'll peep Ragggas.Did you get your joints dyed yet?

nah ink didn't do it yet still undecided on the colors as soon as though you know i'll post em

Tragedy- Got home from NYC.. Mikes packed up two shoes of different brown and tans in the box.. the Black ones are good and the playboys are set, but my tan and brown got to go back to Mikes for the xchange.. BTW.. any word on the Mock Necks like old times?

Watch'em he Shady

Yo O, did you call Mike and em to straighten that out? Yo they need to hit a ni66a off wit a bus ticket real quick. Yeah you gotta watch dem dudes specially when you know you from OT they will but a black eye in da game. What you mean two different tans and browns? Well I hope you get it strait son,BWB what up?

Mikes doesnt have the real britishers like the ones with the tassle or the B on the tongue

Yo marcy pjs, Those british at mikes are real, they're just the 2000 version. Just like Air Jordans, each year they come out with a new pair but some styles are better than others. Just like the British. We all like the 80's version as opposed to the 2000, but they both are british and they both are the real deal. PEACE BWB! KIDWAVE HOLLA AT YA CREW!

Any body know if sanders has a site.

Anybody know where to find Cortifiel coats?

i copped mad british walkers off ju mans on southern bull way back in 2003.. his store is now a hardware store. i got some og ballys for sale if you guys r interested in hit me at truemath71@yahoo.com got a few styles and sizes

are Playboys the actual name of the shoe by Sanders and how can you tell the difference between the real and the fakes, also, if on ebay how do you search for them? shoes of the eighties? old school shoes?

Peace To My True and Living BWB CREW!! What Da Deal Feek how you son??? Thee original playboy shoe had playboy on the insole but the british guy passed and sold the name to john fabian in sweden. I believe sanders manufactured the shoe in the beginning but did not own da name. Once again thats just my theory anyway anybody else is more than welcomed to add on to the build. But all in all sanders make a REALLY good playboy shoe if you want to check out playboys log onto to this site www.playboy-shoes.com and good luck!!! MOOK,KID and BIG J where yah at holla BWB if you feel me!! Ayo, Waddup ICE BABY!!!! Oh Yo, before I forget Mike's Shoe Plaza sells british,playboys and clarks the math is:550 8th Av.

Any word on the Mock Neck's, Robert Klein vneck sweaters with the lines, Shark Skins? Also someone at Mikes when I was there was looking for the old Lebaron and Latiger (Spell Check) Shirt. What do you all think about this, I know we all are in different areas, but lets see if we can pull this off. Let's plan to throw an 80's BBQ this Summer somewhere, BIG BASH. All the old school gear. We could set up some booths, and promote the old school gear the Newbies? Music kicking, Ribs passing, and the Gear if fresh.. Also any word from the India Guy? We need the old colors, Burgandy, Money Green, Red/black, White on White.. All the colors.. I know it will take some Mad organization butttt. What do you all think..

Daamnnn...I was on bowery today and thinkin bout goin to Delancy too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yooooo! What it is my dunz? Yo ni66as hooked up today I felt like a youngin again trooping thru da city spot ta spot wit my dunz ya heard? Yo we found a spot on Delancy got all old skool dress gear real mocks real slick suede or leather fronts but Poppy was sold out of everything in our sizes. We told him we just woke up from a nap and we thought it was still the 80s so thats why we lookin for all 80s gear. We hit Mikes and took a flic, I buried the hatchet cuz you know I was hot wit them but they good dudes and I knew that thats why I stepped up and defended them against a bogus claim from a bogus ni66a word,plus I had to cop a couple more pair. Yo Nat said I knew something new, I do but Imma wait til I talk back wit the dudes who pressin to bring back our Palladios. Yo Mike got crazy knowledge he been sellin these joints since the 80s he described the Palladios to a Tee he said the old B on the Britisher was Gold, Im Jew-Man from da Bx 30yrs ago LOL. Yo Mike is the closest thing anybody got to gettin em back he told me the whole story of how Samsung got the name they paid 500,000 and hired this Big shot Italian dude Tony LaCosa to do his thing he probably used to wear em any way check this, Mike gave him a "deadstock" Burgundy leather & suede quilted jammie and told him to make this in colors he made the playboys in colors and did some other $#!t with the Britishers, Mike knows this dude PERSONALLY he consulted Mike before he bought them back out but he didnt listen so now Im on Mike @ss to get on him to make the shoe he sent over to Jersey. Mike said he would call him Mike deals wit the Vice-President of Samsung he dont deal wit salesman yo Mike got juice man so Imma stay on Mike so he can tell Tony, "make one more run, all colors of the shoe I sent, I guarantee you'll make crazy money!" we closer than we know right under our noses. So yo that was a good lesson for me cuz yo yall dat know me know Imma press Mike a-day about this yo just think he sent the dude the "perfect" shoe if he woulda listened we might not be on here, this site was pretty much created by people lookin for the Palladios. So listen BWB Mike is runnin out cop all you can if you got small feet you strait other than that you might have ta pay a buck for em. Plus Mike told me he got some dudes who come buy 3-4 pair take em to some dude who re-designs the whole shoe cchanges the color the leather everything but he charges 150 but it's always somebody cheaper ya know. Peace to all da crew we on track one way or another yall trust me. Big J Kid Life Neek Inc Prome O.C PEACE 1LUV Mook

Mook, thats crazy info you kicked out. Thanks for looking out and speaking up. But I want to inquire about the Mock Necks. Are the one's at Nick's with the ribs and the white piping around the collar? Do they look original? Me and my Partner is planning another trip to NYC soon, we will try to coordinate with the BWB's to see if we could meet up and kick some knowledge around about this business idea. I think we can do big things with this if we want, or we can just enjoy the ride for the fun of it, whatever is cool with me, lets just see what we can do to get it poppin. Blessings to all.

Peace and blessings to all my BWB's. I am glad that some of you brothers got to troop thru the city again getting dem flashbacks.. It was all good for me when i got on the F train like old days. I just wanted to Yell at my BWB Ice is Nice, times are crazy my Brother, we traveling down this road to the 80's on a peaceful trip. Dont get caught up in that Drama we use to be in back in the day. We are the leaders now and must lead this new generation the right way. No more meetings in the Park brother unless you are doing some motivational speaking. Deal? we want to keep you around to meet up with us, when we get that reunion and rock the old school gear and eat some Grub. Just a word to the wise from the wise.

I was checking the pics on the POOKSIDE BLOGSPOT. YO, the mockneck look like the joints we used to wear back in da day. I will have to hit up D st when I get back in the City in July. The other pic also had mad colors in the playboys, but what about the british walkers?Does Mikes have mad flavors in the large sizes (12)?

Yo O.C, it was me dat was havin flashbacks ridin thru the L.E.S. Cruzin down the FDR I looked at Riis PJs and said "damn I used ta be around dis joint"then before we hit Delancy around Suffolk & Rivington, Norfolk & Rivington all around Pitt St all-a dat man I kept sayin "damn son I used to be around here back in da day kid," like day dreamin and every time I said dat Ice or Nat was like come on kid or yo Dee look at dis. I know if I woulda been like "son Imma go around dis corner for a minute" my dunz woulda been like "yo Mook come on baby it's a rap dem days gone" I realize we gotta travel this road carefully Ice told me a few weeks ago "when we put dis gear on we can't be actin like we used to act back in da 80s, we grown men now nah mean?" So I'm on point, yo I been some places in the 80s that I never wanna go, and some I only would go in my mind I'm sure a-body can relate to that one word...But it's all good my dude I'm gettin ready for the next one hopefully we will be deeper. So all my BWB homies put dat $#!t on dun and rep da 80s aight,I'm BW'ed up right now ready to show these dudes this color they aint seen since they came back, they only had 3 Saxons Black, Navy and Beige so Im bout ta crack em wit these Mustard & Brown jammies wit some jeans that seem like they was made for these joints word. PEACE & 1LUV, from Ya Man Mook

I'll be 44 this year and one thing I don't worry about is what these young'uns think about the classic old skool b-boy original hip hop gear. Everything comes full circle. I can't get with all these colorful high-top doofy looking sneakers and the pistol leg jeans hangin' off the ass. I've always loved old skool gear and gonna stick with it. I have mad cats asking me where'd I get the British Walkers and the Playboys and when I rock the Cazal 616 joints it look sometimes that cats in the know would wanna snatch'em from me. I'm in a comfort zone with old skool gear but as I'm getting older I'm also wanting to change up the gear style a bit and start rockin' more put-together outfits kinda on the DL Hughley tip - that brotha dresses sharp. Now that I've seen a pic of the Cazal 623's on Pook's blog that's gotta be my next objcet of desire. Peace to all the BWB's!

Funny thing about the Cazal's - I now see shops along Jamaica Ave selling them - even a new spot up in the Coliseum selling them but these guys are trying to rook with their prices; trying to charge over $400 for a pair of 8001's (http://www.popularglasses.com/pictures/7943/25794/800111.JPG) that I just got from a reputable seller for $200. Just had to add this 2 cents 'cause I'm a Cazal fiend! The old skool joints always go for a grip - check this site in Germany that sells them: http://www.vintage-sunglasses-shop.com/collection_Cazal-600-Series_display_3.html

Yo Double P, Dat site was da illist son! I just made me a CD wit da Latin Rascals, Shep Pettibone, Chuck Chillout. Another one with da L Bruva's vs. Da Herculoids...And Dr. Rock and da Force MC'S. Some of them joints was rar. files and I couldn't burn them but I got them on my hard drive. YO CREW CHECK DA SITE DOZE OL' KISS AND BLS MASTERMIX JOINTS IZ BUTTA'! HOLLA BACK!

Yo Nat, You got to get that CD out to us. That sounds like it is the Joint. How can i get a copy of that CD. Im in Virginia and you know how that goes, hook a brotha up.

Ocie, check out the link to the site. If you can download files to your PC you'll be able to download a lot of the joints there. Some real classic stuff there. I wanna cut my ears off with a rusty knife when I hear the nonsense that gets overplayed on radio - it ain't got nothing to do with hip hop.

What up Gents? Its been a minute.First things first...go to Youtube and type in Bobbito Garcia and BizMarkie (Its the shoes) and checkout Biz's collection of British and sneaks and secondly I need that site to get the old school Force MC's,Chuck Chillout joints........One !

Good...look-in.... Uneek

Yoooooooo! Dat ni66a had da Burgundy and Grey joints. Nat dats your first pair right? He also had da all Blue leather saxons wit da "patch" on da front were the B was like da Burgundy suede saxons you found Kidwave not this little "string" we got holdin the B on our joints but thank God for them... (it was only a pic for all those dat don't know, Kid wave does not have a Burgundy pair)yo Biz wanted to get into the BWs but they had to get to the sneaks. Bobbito said casual shoes at one time "HAD A HIGHER PREMIER THAN SNEAKERS" yo I was just schoolin my 18yr old son about dat Sunday night. That really made my day word... PEACE to the British Walker Brothers. 1LUV Mook

Man! I was so taken by what I saw I went back and looked on da floor, BOOM! This ni66a got da Burgundy leather Saxons,da Green suede Crowns, da Beige Crowns,and da Beige & Green suede Crowns, all I can say is damn......Later yall Imma little shook up.

AAARRRGH!!! DAMN, DAMN, DAMN! WHAT DA F*&#*K IS GOING ON! I WANT SOME OF DEM JOINTS, NOT NOW BUT RIGHT NOW! WASSUP CREW? YO ICE, da name of that tune is "Catch the Beat", INK you gotta stop gettin' ni66a's open like dat. LOL You always puttin' LINKS and PICS out there like that. Yo, I bet you we all gonna have them joints by da summer..WATCH! KEEP IT FLOWING BWB. As for a name ...how about FRESH FASHIONS. PEACE!!

YOOOOOoooooooo Son, I just peeped da Biz joint, Yo mook I had a pair of doze green and beige strap joints from Delancy and da burgundy, but mine was slip ons. Dat ni66a Biz got ery'thang. Ballys, Playboy's, B-dubbs, 69er's, Pro-keds.....AWWWWWwwww DAMN HE GOT IT ALLLLL!!!

Just saw some of the clip with Biz and Bobbito - Biz don't get rid of any of his kicks I see. Dayum he even had the high top Gucci sneakers, which I never did like. I remember at first there were Gucci boat shoes closely resembled the sneakers, then there were the Gucci sneakers, but Biz got the price wrong. The Gucci leather / canvas lowtop sneakers were $115; the all-leather lowtops were $155; and the hightops were $195. Back in 1986 I got my first pair of Bally's was back in 1986 - I bought the olive green suede/leather joints for $135 and showed them to my steppops and he thought it was a lot of money but he said they were fly. When I showed him the Gucci sneaks and told him I paid $155 he almost had a heart attack - thought I was crazy for spending that much dough on some sneakers, but it was my money so he couldn't do anything about it.

Yo I just saw that easy money joint....Son Rodney Dangerfeild had the black/grey slip ons....them joints was fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

I just copped some Sanders Plaboys from one of the links I left. $156 from the UK and Free Shipping.

Yo Ink, Did you get the wing tip joints from that site you posted? I want to cop da brown wing tip joints, I'm waiting for them to email me wit how much it cost in dollars.

Nooooo, I have to make them a special purchase they gona run $415 with shipping. I am gone get them to rock in the fall with a Camel Hair suit and a red camshmer v neck whith whtie shirt and Burberry tie.

Nat I just received an e-mail from the playboy people and the total price is $400 wit' shipping included! I'm gonna cop da brown wing tip joints!

I guess it depends on the postal code. Yo Ice did find anybody to dye ur BWs yet.

yo what up bwb? Ink i found this cat but they're on vacation will be open monday.cobbler express 60 wall street (212) 809-9814.

Those brown wingtips are hot. BWB's I got a question for y'all .... I'm attending a summer yacht party and the theme is all white. I just copped the all white ankle-high White Wallabees (they are so frikkin beautiful and yet remind me of nurse shoes LOL) and I'm needing suggestions as to what type of white outfit to wear. Should I go with white silk; linen/silk blend; or all cotton? Short sleeve button-down or pullover shirt? Collar or collarless? Pleated pants or some bermuda-type shorts (i.e. gauchos)? I know it sounds a bit anal but I gotta make sure that I'm as sharp as can be. It's not until July so I got time to get the outfit.

Double P, if you are gonna rock da wallys, I would wear linen, silk is cool but it's gonna be hot which means it's gonna stick to you, but if you're on a boat and there's a breeze then silk will work. pleated pants, short sleeve button down wit da collar. If you gonna rock low casual shoes or sandal type shoes then I would rock da bermuda shorts, wit a short sleeve pullover or collarless shirt cotton of course ta keep you cool...but again if you are on a boat and everyone is gonna be up top it could be windy, but if you're down below da shorts ensemble will be bangin. Check da weather make sure it callabs wit ya gear and crush'em! Peace! BWB makin' it do what it do!

I am wit Nat I would do linen. If your going to tuck I do pleats if not a draw string. I find Claiborne has the best line pants for my bulid. You my want to get a light weight white sweater for that night water wind and my be a white raffia Madagascar hat. P. s. A cuffed pant falls just right over the Wallabees good luck

Yooo! Waddup BWB yo I was on vacation for a sec,the last thing I saw was biz wit dem Bws then dat was it. Yo I been called Moe's I also tried to acces their website but it's dead. Yo Wave dats how dem dudes do once they get on top they forget ALL da help they received and ALL da rejection they suffered and swore they wouldnt do that if they ever got on top then they renege. Dat ni66a coulda scheduled da joint for a later date but thats ok we was there and dem dudes cant give you nuffin that we cant so, eff him yo.Im trynna catch Rodney D in dat flick but you tube dont show da clip wit him rockin da B's if anybody find it holla, I go nuts when I see anybody witta pair of deadstocks dats how I got to this site lookin for a pic or a vid of a old pair. Yo prome do what I do put all dem joints on see which one looks da best then rock dat on da cruise,but if you like me you subject to change between now and then so keep tryin on joints til you find dat one. Yo I miss yall ni66as I went to traffic court Wefnesday morning in some redneck county and they locked a ni66a up for being 10 minutes late for court picture dat! Anyway,Peace to all my big homies, Life Nat Big-J Prome Kid-W O.C. Neek... Aint dat right MixMaster I-C-E Mook

Peace my BWB's. Sorry I had to take some down time. I am trying to get my place rented out and had to get some maintenance done to prepare for some tenants. But ALLNAT, the Linen defin. w/the white Wally's. Linen is cool and moves with you and will give off a good presentation. If i was going to Yacht it, i would bust it like this. White Wally's w/ White Linen drawstrings, I would do a colored polo style shirt and prep it with a light white sweater (cashmere/Wool blend) tied around the collars. Definitely thrown on a Kangol Cap and some tight sunshades, I got a hot pair of Fubu transitionals that works very well. This will complete the look. You have to represent the BWB's all the way. Do this and I guarantee you will rock it. Whatever you do, take some pics and get them posted.. We need to do that my brothers, take some pics and post them on the forum somewhere so we can see each other in the gear. How can we get that done. Also, any movement with finding someone to produce the gear for us??? What's the latest? Much love to my BWB's. Peace

Yo, I just found this site tonite & I gotta give props to all y'all! Word! I'm 53 from Strong Island (Hempstead) & been a gear fiend since my mom worked at A&S. There was a store called Worthmore's here in the 60's that had sharksins, silk & wools, Alpacas. My cousin from Jamaica put me down on Reval Knox & Ideals on Jamaica Ave. The original Ideals mens store was on the corner of 165th & Jamaica Ave. First hit D street in 68. My man put me down on Leighton's, 47th & Bway & what I feel was the flyest store NY ever had, Phil Kronfeld & 49th & Bway. Howards had all the sude front wool Italian knits.. I still got a gry & burgundy suede & wool joint. Blye's were the nicest knit shirts ever made. They were very expensive. I loved me some Damon's too. I got some Playboys from Mcreedy & Schreiber in the late '70's. Davanzanti playboys from Below The Belt downtown Brooklyn before they closed. But they still got Original Playboys overseas. Playboy-shoes.com. A couple of spots in Denmark have them. Only low suede blk & brn in lace up & wing tip. http://www.playboy-shoes.com/wp-content/kollektion/09/art12.jpg The price depends on the exchange rate for that day, usually around $300. I e-mailed them and nobody in north america sells them. I would love to get a leather with the Persian Lamb collar and Cortefiel with fox collar. At Aqueduct flea market there's a Russian guy who sells Protege sweaters for $15 or 2 for $20. 1/4 zip collared knits, crew necks. I've seen them for $50-60 dollars at Porta Bella & other spots. Thanks for all the great info. Peace

Almost forgot, Dandy on the corner of Jay & Willoughby has some nice stuff. Maxini leather, suede & wool shirt jackets, nice shirts, ties, etc. Daffy's is another fave store of mine. Got some Donald J. Pliner shoes for $69, usually $200.

D J Pliner tie ups or slipp ons

J Cape I just copped some burgundy Davanzanti playboys from ebay $35 with shipping I think they Dead stock they have 1 pair left 10.5 it says purple but they are not they are burgundy. http://cgi.ebay.com/DAVANZATI-Purple-Suede-Chukka-Boots-10-5_W0QQitemZ220381595815QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Men_s_Shoes?hash=item220381595815

Ayo new school dude stay off of the post wit' dat bs and find some bizness son! See, dats da problem wit' you invisible cats wit' dem lame a$$ statements this is a british walker forum go play somewhere else and leave us the HELL alone.

What up bwb? life once again we gotta treat dis dude like dat other cat don't even give'em nor thought.holla.keep diggin yall we hittin things.j-cape I lived in hempstead b4 also on the drive.i'm 42 though.but i know some cats your age too. you lived on the heights or the hills?.peace nat,life,neek,double p,ink,wave,ocie.if i missed anybody no malice intended.yo wave i got a picture of the cat wit a black cortefiel with a white fur collar it's black and white though imma get it to you.(TNTC)

jcapeverde, I've seen your name before, you post on the "P." I used to post on there years ago - people also know me as BigWill. Nice to see a fellow househead that loves the old skool gear. You've posted some good history here on the old skool stores.

I live on the Hill. Some of my closest boys was from the Drive - Honeys too! LOL Yeah Big Will, I'm still on the "P", though not as much as I used to be. I'm gonna post a pic I found of a Blye label so you know what it looks like if you ever come across one. This got me thinking about old shoe stores. A ssomeone mentioned before, Florsheim was was the Playboy spot in Hempstead when I came up. Some of the Drive bros broke in & wiped out every pair back in 1970! LOL Lefcourt Shoes on Madison also had some sweet shoes. They also had reissued Playboys in the late 70's early 80's. Around the same time as McCreedy & Schreiber. I was thinking about the old Orchard Street. There was a old Black tailor, Mr. Brown on Allen Street. He'd make any kind of pants for $35 & put any kind of flaps on too. The criss cross, gun holster, round corners, hidden buttons, etc. What I miss are the wide wale corduroys with the Persian Lamb pocket flaps. Some people don't even know what Persian Lamb is! I went into Below The Belt years ago & asked a guy about putting it on a leather. This so-called "salesman" didn't know what the f**k I was talking about. Chump! Also anybody remember the Omega pants? No belt loops with the tab that had the Omega sign on them? Used to get them Uptown in Mohair, also on D street & Reval Knox on Jamaica Ave. I hated pants with belt loops. All my pants had to be western pockets in front, flaps on the back pockets & NO BELT LOOPS! It seems like tailoring is a lost art. Guys with felonies could be in business for themselves if they knew how to sew! Double Promo, you remember Grad's Cleaners on the Heights on Clinton across from Brierly Park? That old cat could sew his azz off! He did work on some leather pants for me. They were a little too peg leg. He split the seam, took a piece of the cut off hem & placed it in widening the leg. Perfect!

jcape, you're building here like Mike Barnes does (LOL/my man) ...... I don't know much about LI spots as I was born and raised in the South Bronx, and you're a dime older than me so you're mentioning spots I know my older cousins were up on. My early days of shopping were @ Florsheim on 149th Street off of 3rd Ave in the Bronx and all the spots on 3rd Avenue (back in the days of Alexanders and Crazy Eddie's). I also used to shop on Fordham Road (Martin Brothers was the spot - had to get the Lee jeans with the stitched in creases and the ONYX patch on the back pocket). I can't remember exactly when or how I got my first Playboys or British Walkers - didn't have much dough and somewhat resorted to "finding" sneakers and shoes back then. I remember getting my first pair of AJ Lesters from the AJ Lester store on 125th Street (I used to love that store). Was it true that the people that owned AJ Lester also owned Reval Knox and the same type of clothing store that was in Albee Square Mall (I forget the name)? Do you remember the hoodie sweaters that were sold on Jamaica Avenue in the early 80's that had iron-ons of whatever your initial letter was with the Playboy bunny with fake diamond in the eye and your name in chinese letters on the other side of the jacket?

Yo jcape, That's some crazy history man. I only remember a couple of the stores you mentioned and that's only because my uncle used to talk about them all the time. I would love to see one of those Blye shirts, My uncle was just talking about them joints saturday said he used to rock them joint too. I heard about McCreedy's matter of fact I went down there last year they were on 51st and... I think 6th or 8th Ave...somewhere around there. Outta' business now. Who remembers this joint(store) called Dehardest Hard on 125th and what you used to can get outta there :-). Yo Ink, I saw those Davanzatis, those joints are nice just might get them joints. KID,MOOK,ICE,LIFE,DOUBLE P,INK,NEEK, BIG JIZZY,and my man OCIE, HOLLA!!

DAAAAAMN Double P, I remember them iron on letter's and da playboy bunny, was that the same joints kids used to rock wit da iron-on lightning bolts? I had one done that said M.C. Ricky O. LOL. Prome when's the last time you been on Southern B. and Simpson street. They used to have a jew man shop on simpson that used to sell the Lee onyx jeans, the stradlers and the twills. I was up on Fordham day after thanksgiving brought back alot of memories. not much has changed,just the style of gear most of the stores are still there.

What up? crew I'm Back from vacation and back to my computer

Peace, Love and Chicken wings to my BWB's. Sorry Im not engaged much, just got a tenant and trying to get this house together for the move. MooK, KID, the JUICE ALLNAT, NEEK, Big J, Double P, INK, and all others, much love to you all. Have anyone came up with a spot we can post pics, I want to put some faces to the names. For me, Born in Brooklyn, raised in East Orange NJC, but now in VA. All the stores I shopped for the gear was in NJC, and i believe you all are right. the first pair of playboys and BW's were from the Florsheim. Wow, back in the Day. Guess what I just ordered? Some Cazal's 607 Joints.. Can you believe it. Just picked me up a couple of Stetson's, and going to grab a few more playboys and wallabees soon. My wife think i have flipped, i told her, me and my BWB's are just doing what we do. It may look crazy to her but it sure feel good. Much love to all yall. Lets get this summer bash together.

I remember Dehardest Hard alright! LOL I even had a Harlem All Stars tee with that on it! There's a picture of a V neck Blye I found, but it's not what was popular back in the day. They were finer quality wool Italian knits with suede and/or leather trim and designs. I last saw one in Reval Knox years ago that they must have found in the basement. Lime green 3/4 length, with suede playing card symbols. Spade, heart, club & diamond on the chest and near the waist on either side. One symbol on each section. Leather trim around the collar with a fly front also trimmed in lime green leather. Green leather on the cuffs and trim around the bottom. They wanted $1000 for it, but came down to $600 when I showed some interest. I might've gave them $300, but even that was a lot for a 15-20 year old shirt that they just happened to find. Reval Knox, London Character, Superfly Playboy, Lefcourt shoes had the half gators, which were more affordable, but still expensive compared to regular shoes. They had a gator top and heel (back) but were leather everywhere else. Two tones looked especially nice such as tan/chocolate brn.

Yo PROME, Are you a member of SoundviewStandup.com and ItsABronxThing.com if not check da site out. It's nice. People from all over the world who either grew up in soundview, or the bronx or have lived there before. They are gettin' ready to put together the 21st anniversary Old Timers day at the big park in soundview this august. If my memory serves me correctly they was always LIVE!!

Do anyone remember the squede 3 1/4 slips on that mens walkers use to sell on 125th back in the day,i think they were called ballys, they came in navy blue,sky blue, biege and black.If so do anyone know where to get them from?

Waddup BWB, Yo I found a dude that said he can dye my navy joints leather and all. He said the leather on these joints is good so he can work wit em. Nat you told me that, anyway I was walking around downtown wit my joints around my neck cuz I want a dude to see em and say "Yo I had them blah blah blah" then I say you still got em, or know anybody who do? Yo thats how Im on it. Nat we been said its dudes out here that still got em and seeing Biz confirmed that some dudes dont throw away nuthin,yo dat ni66a Biz got deadstock a-thing! I look at that clip bout 7-8 times a day he got da burgundy & gray strap jammies and the Green & beige strap joints 7:27,4:23,4:45 quick peep at the strap 3:22,right at 3:23 its a quick back shot of all of em he got Promes Navy tie-up joints and them samsung joints wit a burgundy slip-on just like the Navy jammies he picked up.Come on you know I broke the clip down like a FBI agent frame by frame word, Id be happy as $h!t wit dat 6 pair he got Whew!. Yo Im planning another trip this time gotta get together a lil earlier so I can roam a lil more but we did good wit the time and da rain and all-lat.So thats what it izz ya heard BWB keep diggin. Peace to da hoal croo Kid,Life,Nat,OC,Prome,Neek Ink,Ice, Big J hold it down Bee. Dee

I am laughing because I am glad that I put you brothas on to that Biz clip.Its funny cause the first time i saw it....I watched it like crazy.But like I said Biz has the most of alot of stuff..records,hip-hop tapes,flyers etc.Which one of us will be the first to find Britishers by Palladio?????????....the saga continues.....We might see Prez Obama rockin a pair of British and a pair of Lees

What Up BWB crew I'm gonna check that biz Joint in a minute yo when we all gonna get together again I missed the last one I went on vacation a few days before. and as far this guy with his air force ones yes that is a good sneaker but we called them (uptowns) Mr.New jack not swing. I remember the hi top Bw's with the b on the outside ankle on top of a suede patch them joints was HOT!

Allnat I'm not familiar with those sites you mentioned but I'mma check them out. Mike G, you're talking about the Bally Aden and Alex shoes; the Aden's were the on-the-ankle laceups that were part leather with a suede top and came in lovely colors like olive green, red, blue, black, tan, etc. The Alex were the low-cut tie-ups and slip-ons and then they changed up the style and added a leather thread around the shoe (lawd I used to love the tan ones). Bally stopped making them in the early 90's. When I moved from Ozone Park to East New York back in 2001 I had mistakenly left behind about seven pair of Bally shoes and to this day I regret not taking them with me because they were all in excellent - to near mint condition as I didn't wear them that much at all. I can't help but feel that at some future date someone is gonna get real smart and bring them back out. Mike at Mike's Shoe Plaza has been speaking on this, but for me it ain't official if Bally doesn't do it. Here's a throwback on the Bally's for y'all fellas: New Edition's N.E. HEARTBREAK video - check out they were each wearing one yellow laceup Bally and one black laceup Bally. ......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnEi2MyqBlY .......... and they was catching some fly dance steps too.

Yo dont get me wrong Baldogs was fresh and all-lat but Imma British lover Bee too many styles colors and the look. They suped up like a hot rod and they got dat curve in em yo nuffin like em yo. But go to the tube punch in Dana dane nightmares video you get a clip of him witta fly sky blue pair damn these are dope Bee...

Yooo Mook, You CRAZY Son. LOL! I knew you was gonna break dat clip down. Hahaha. Brought back alot of memories for me too cause I had them joints. Prome I don't even have to watch dat vid, as soon as you said the name I knew which one it was. Them yellow joints is Hella Fresh! I used to love yellow back in da day. Lee jeans wit a yellow Ban Lon wit da yellow ballys...Oooooh WEEeeee!LOL! I just had the ballys I copped on EBAY dyed all brown and they came out aight. I'm still tryin' to get somebody to do my Ice tie-ups. I might have to check out dude on wall street dat ICE was talkin' about. YO! it's supposed to be 85 Saturday and Sunday I was thinking about hittin' da city again, going down to canal and Mott. I gotta get them navy blue 69er's from 40th street, they only want a quarter for them. As far as finding the Palladio's I hope we can someday soon and the bally alex/aden. Cause I be on EBAY Allworld LOL! and I still can't find them. I think I'm gonna start asking ol' skool headz who may still have them in a box or closet if they want to sell them. I gotta have them joints. Peace Out er'ybody.

Allnat, navy blue 69'ers on 40th Street? Where at? I've been wanting to get some but some shops are charging almost $50 for them.

Prome, It's on 40th and 6th Av on da corner across from Bryant Park. I was in there about 8mos. ago and they had'em in blue, green. The store takes up 1/2 a block down 6th Ave. Check'em out P they still should have them.

Allnat check this pic: http://www.doublepromo.com/new14crop.jpg -- yeah I was rocking a shag-type do back in 1984 but it's me with one of those Jamaica Ave hoodies with the initial letter; I'm tryin' ta find a store that makes those poly/cotton stiff type hoodies and then a store that makes the same type of iron-on letters and I'm gonna make a few of those hoodies for myself. I know once I rock one of those on Jamaica Ave the old skool cats are gonna be all over it.

BTW the name on my hoodie was my graffiti name back in the day, and I still have those Cazal's I was wearing in the pic but for the life of me I can't find them.

Mook way to Xpress yourself and we are backin you 100%. Thats what we are about. BWB's Baby = British Walker Brothers or BROTHERS With BUSINESS, thats what we are about. And just to add to Mook and let you know, we aint giving that Trash no respect and if you are not willing to get this business jumping, then i suggest you STEP. Now back to business, BWB's I've been missing some crazy dialog on the site but trying to play catchup today. Finally got that tenant in the house and wife and I are exhausted but God is good. Last update I had was that someone found the Mock Necks- where ? also ALLNAT, getting em' dyed now, good thinking.. I definately want them burgandy joints. I am here in Virginia and will check around the city to see who has skills in doing that but I dont even think many of these cats know about the Brits so im skeptical. I will check and give the scoop. Also, I have a partner who was with DEF JAMS, he did some work with Queen Latifah and back in the day it was Nikki D'. Daddy's little girl, he produced it. His name is Sidney (S.I.D production) I will try to find his number and see if He has a hook up with BIZ. I suggest we start putting some of our ideas on paper and keep a research listing going of places found that may be of interest. I will kick that off. Also, what yall think about hooking up this summer in NYC?? We have lunch and talk about some IDEAS and of course,.> EAT>. .Well I got to get going, but will chime in daily to engage.. Peace to all my BWB's and to all the spectators, (if you got somethin' worth while, come on in and join us).. Until next time.. peace

Had a pair of brown/tan BWs for my brother's graduation from junior high school ('83). Where can I buy a pair?

Yo CREW, I"M BACK! Damn I MISS THIS JOINT! I just got connected again,I been down for awhile. Yo. I heard some POOTBUTT got on talkin' out da side of his neck...something about don't come ta crooklyn wit da British!? Well I'm glad my ni66a's set it straight. You know how we do on dis micky flicky! HOLLA MY DUNNS!!!

ALLNAT- I think the site has been down. I was unable to post to it. As you can see noone has done any really dialog since MOOK. Whats up with the Interview with BIZ? He gonna do it or what? Also .. did you read my post on hooking up for the summer.. Also we are past those "Dont come to crooklyn days" thats for the losers, we are business men trying to get it poppin. What's our next move? Hit me.

ALLNAT- Did you dye your BW's yet? If so, how did they come out??

Shoe cats around my way is scared to dye the ice suede so I am going old school and dot my self I found a spot that sells the dye. http://www.fabricdyes.co.uk/fabric_design.asp?fabrictypeid=11#info This one is a spray paint for fabrics. http://www.fabricspraypaint.com/ there are other sites with more colers

There was this polish I used to get back in the day that I used to use on Adidas and suede Pumas to color them. It kinda made the suede look like leather. I hope that you doing the white BW's comes out right because I'd hate for you to mess up a good pair of shoes. I'm leaving for the UK (Manchester) next Wednesday for a music event and a DJ gig (will be there for a week) but I'mma be checking out the stores in the downtown Manchester area to see what I can find out. There are some brotha's over there that love rocking vintage gear like we do - hopefully I'll be able to get a lead on something, whether it's Britishers, or even better, some BALLY's and I'll defo post info on whatever it is I can find out.

Yeah I remember, same thing with my Pumas. The site says it will keep the suede soft. The yardies love that vintage gear. In my mind the influx of Jamaicans in the mid 70's is what put a lot of the brothers up on things like Clarks in general wallabee weavers specifically. Depending on the exchange rate you might can catch some Og Plaboys at nice price. What are you spinning over there,Manchester that their house capital yeah? Good luck and have great trip.

YO WHO KNOWS WHERE TO BUY MOCK NECKS AND THE ORIGIONAL PLAIDS? HOLLA AT YOUR BOY. THOSE WHERE SOME SERIOUS JOINTS BACK IN THE DAY. I HAD FIVE MOCK NECKS WITH FIVE PAIR OF PLAIDS TO MATCH AND I WAS ROCKIN THE PLAY BOY'S AND THE BRITTISH WALKERS.

It's a party an hour outside of Manchester in a town called Southport called the Southport Weekender that I'm going to; been going there since 2003 - they do the party twice a year. Big name American and US DJ's with a mostly house music scene as I'm a big house head. Started really getting into house in the mid-late 80's especially from listening to Tony Humphries on KISS-FM. While I go to the party I get the occasional gig to play records when I'm out there. The party is off the hook I'll tell you that. Manchester is an absolutely beautiful city and I love getting the chance to go there. Also will have my eye on some of the harder-to-find sneakers seeing as some of the more unique looking Adidas sneakers are in Europe and Asia and hard to get here in the States. And the Brits - oh my gizz can these people party and DRINK like a thirsty fish!

Oh yeah, I forgot the name of the polish but if we're talking about the same thing Inc it used to come in a small bottle and it had a small brush head attached to the screw top and it came in mad colors. I gotta dig for some of my old pics again to see if I got one with my shelltoe Adidas colored lime green back in 1983.

Yea, I remember dyeing the puma back in da day. It did make the suede hard like leather then they used to crack up top if you rocked them too much. Yo Prome put them UK bruv'a up on da inthe00s site so they can see what's up, maybe we can get some dialog going wit them cats. ALI, YOU CAN GET THE MOCKS AND THE PLAIDS FROM PENGUINI'S ON THE CORNER OF 38th AND 6th AV. And ALSO ON ORCHARD ST. A SPOT CALLED NICK AND SON'S CLOTHING. HOLD IT DOWN DOUBLE P FOR BWB OVER IN DA UK! HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND RIP IT EAST COAST STYLE!!!

OK fellas, gotta create a brief interlude here: www.blackjackskanz.com - don't check the site while at work or when you're girl's around. It's not nude or porn but it's high quality scans of pictures and being that all us brotha's here love old skool fashion - I've no doubt y'all are going to LOVE the pics on the site.

Let me be a bit clearer - high quality scans of some of the baddest sista's with the bangin'est bodies.

OCIENJC, I didn't get them dyed yet, dude that dyed my ballys said he tried to dye a pair of Ice tie-up B-dubbs that this brother who lives out in Texas brought in(must be a east coast brutha') and he wanted them burgundy, the shoe man said he put coat after coat to no avail because the suede was soaking up the dye and it came out sorta pinkish in color. He said he took a pic with his camera phone and sent it to ol' boy and dude from texas tolld him to just dye them all black which in turn came out a greyish color. So I'm kinda skeptical now, I don't want to burn a good pair of shoes sine there's no tellin' if I'll be able to get another pair since Mike's sold out big sizes. Unless I can find a brotha who can REALLY dye suede or sew another suede color over the existing color, or remove the original color and replace it with the color suede I want I'm just gonna keep'em. I haven't even worn them joints yet.

Tony Humphries @ Zanzibar, Bobby Konders and nick jones @ Wild Pitch Sound Factory before the bar sweaty good times. There is a site called deep house mixes got some good stuff. DoublePromo I have been looking for this 12" by dopestyle called I'll base you. and another whith this sax da da dada da da dada dadadadada dda dda ddada din da they mixed wit hot music by Soho do you no were I could find one and the name of the other I checked Rock n soul on 7th and got no thing thanks.

Yo Inc, I used to be an all hip hop head until the late 80's when I started to dislike the direction that rap music was going. I was DJ'ing also and was playing a variety including house music and when I started to sway from the hip hop I started buying more and more house music. The site you're talking about it deep house page. I also do online mixshows - I have a website which hasn't been updated in ages but I store my mixes there - if anyone here is on myspace look me up myspace.com/doublepromo and I'll send links and tracklistings - I play a lot of late 80's to early 90's classic house 'cause to me that was the best era though I do stay up on all the newest house joints. Dopestyle "I'll Bass You" - I think I have somewhere in my stash; the other joint you're talking about might be Lil Louis "Blackout." Nice to see some cats that still love house music.

oh yeah gotta have HOUSE MUSIC!!!!!!lol

I live for the HOUSE MUSIC.. I DJ'd in NJC back in the day at a pub called the San Franscisco Pub in EO NJC also Club 88 in East Orange NJ. Was just a kid back in that day but DJ'd behind DJ Easy. Tony Humfries at Zanzibar was my motivator and he was def the house king. I would love to get some of your mixes ALLNAT, DOUBLE and INC. Put a brotha up on some good Mixes down here in the VA area. I dont know about my BWB's but i feel something good brewing here for this business. I also checked with some Cobblers in this area and none of those cats will touch the Brits.. They said they wont risk it. This brings a though to mind. I know we have not found the manufacturer yet that will produce them for us, but when we do we need to have them also produce a dyeable pair. these will need to be neutral in color. Depending on the colors they produce, it will be to our benefit to have a dyeable pair. Just my crazy thoughts. Also I was blessed on Yesterday to hook up with ICEISNICE on the Phone. Brotha def has some business ethics and has a opportunity that you may be interested in. I know once we kick this business off, we will need his services. Anyway.. lets kick some knowledge around. Double, it would be good to network the Manchester cats with the BWB's for future business opportunities. Also they may have clout with manufactures over there that could reproduce clothing for us. Never know until we ask.. Whats your thoughts, im on the edge with this. Don't want to overstep my self, kick me some wisdom.

What up B-Dub Crew I just remember something one of reasons that the B-Dubs slowed down, that last run like the one's we have now most people didn't want all the joints to have the top the same color as the stripe on the two tones. It was ok for some but I rather the whole shoe be leather one color and the stripe suede. on some colors the top suede was and is a bit much.

Yo J you right son I was tellin Nat Imma get some leather or suede put on the top cuz for real these joints is suede shoes with leather trim word. I mite put my own skills to work on the stripe the tongue whatever. I mite paint some stripes on the top or something that tongue is a prob thats why dudes dont recognize em right away. It mite be a good idea to go to Mikes and play wit some RJs only black or brown they only $20 Ice mite know where they cheaper. Yo we from the 80s right (Ice & Nat) yo we made all kinda color shells we painted soles, suede, drew names on S**t sewed names on coats jackets yo we all got some Dapper Dan in us cuz dats what it was in the 80s. Yo Prome have a safe trip and TURN THAT MUTHA OUT East Coast style you know we set the standard and style for the whole world word. BWB where yall at? Holla Dee

I am going to do a test on a old pair of sand wallies before I hit Ice if it works on wallies I am going to do the Ice with a blue straight to rock with some blue and white plaids. I am thinking of doing rust green with a white stripe.

Yooooo waddup BWB!! Yo mook I think I'm gone try da leather on top myself da tongue might look better all leather!!! Just gotta find someone to do it right!! So, I'mma look round here and see what I can come up wit' and I'll let y'all know. Yo prome be safe and have lotsa fun kid fo' real and try to plug wit' some cats over there cause they might know some'n word!! Peace and Luv BWB I'm out...ONE!!!!

Yo nat see if you can get da phone number to penguini's for me so I can cop some mocks and plaids!! Good lookin' out son!!!

GOOD LOOKING ALLAT! HOLLA BACK AT YA BOY A.D.

Life- Peace and to all my BWB's. NAT 4 sure hit me up with the knowledge on the Mock necks and POC info. Promo- Tear em up ova there.. Have a safe trip.. get on back with some good news.. .Peace.

what bwb? it's a beautiful thing we got going the creative juices are flowing yo when yo teel your mind you want to do something it automatically tries to accomplish that thing. so i know we going to get everything i want. i am going to the cobbler on wall st tomorrow to see what he can due hang tight aaight prome make sure we get a recording to post so we can have something from one our own. in the words of one of the greatest poets of all time george clinton tear the roof off the mother (lol). have a safe one.peace to all my bruvas .one. tntc.

Yo look at da Biz clip again,at 5:10 now dats how a leather Saxon should look only da stripe is suede Yo Im ready to try something Im telling you Imma lay a couple of strips on this top tongue then they will look like REAL BRITISH WALKERS ya heard me? Yo what can I say Im Britisher crazy Ballys-Kool,Wallys-Kool,PlayBoys-Kool, but British Walkers are Thee S**t. Yo the sad part is even when you got on all black Saxons dudes still cant tell at first only with the Mustard & Brown have dudes ran right up with no hesitation "Yo where you get dem?" So Imma have to do something I mite get some fabric glue put my own leather something WILL BE DONE SOON believe me my dunz believe me.

Yo CREW, while you playin' I'ma get me a permanent marker and color my joints.LOL, I'm desperate somebody better try something before I trash mine. LOL! OCIENJC n ALI-DEE I'ma hit you back soon as I get that number for you. Mook they just reposted da davanzati playboys again on ebay, they got 10,10.5,11 and 12s. I'm in there.

Yo Ink did you get your Playboys yet,if you did what color are they purple or rust or burgundy? Nat Imma call you bout 8:00 be on stand by you too Ice, yo KidW we called you Sunday Dunnie but you jack was off strait to voice mail"Yooo" LOL. Peace BWB Dee

I feel the same way Mook,its just something about British Walkers that created a frenzy back in the day.I only got the black tie-ups that I have never worn.I am tryin to be patient because I know that the Palladio joints are right around the corner(o yes they will re-surface)Question..if the palladio joints came back out today,tell me what color would you brothas would get and what would you you rock them with?? (I want the whole crew to try and respond...please)

i would get the Burgundy of course that's da basic. The black hi-top leather and suede with the quilted top, da blue and beige and brown n beige I would rock'em wit da levi denim suit, coogi jeans, sean john joints, with these BVDs I copped or some french cuff button down shirts. whateva's cleva treva. LOL! PEACE

Ok lets see whos gonna respond next.I would get the dark blue lace ups wit the tassles or my last pair that I had was the dark blue with the velcro strap

Neek seriously yo if I had a pair of Palladios I would rock em wit ANYTHING son I probably would get the blue joints like Biz got all leather suede stripe quilted tie-ups yo I feel like a kid on the stoop fantasizing about what kinda car we want. LOL but yeah Navy would be my first choice obviously it goes with everything but if they only had burgundy I would get 3 pair all leather suede stripe slip on, all leather tie up,and all suede slip on all my joints would def be quilted. I would rock a pair of stiff Levis 501 so you could see the whole shoe and one of them old man bowling type shirts, LL kangol.

I'd get as many of the flava's as could possibly be got. The main pair I remember having back around 1979-1980 were all blue and it had the wide tassle with the leather strips - kinda looked like those frills you'd see on a leather jacket. One pair I fiended for back in the day was the burgundy and grey suede slip-ons. All I can hope for is that if Palladio (or whoever has ownership of them) do bring them out they don't get all ridiculous and make too many different variations of them as that would be overkill. Now I could see them making some limited edition British Walkers, say maybe some gator skin or ostrich skin but not to make them look too pimped out. None of that personalized stuff like you can do with sneakers as to me that takes away from the intent of the shoe designer. And I want them to be as close to the original ones as possible because old skool British Walkers were made with really good quality leather and suede and the shoes were always comfortable. I remember some cats used to play basketball in them after they got out of church. Dig, I wouldn't want Diddy or Russ or Jay to take stake in the company because they'd put their "touch" on the shoes, like Wu Tang did with their Wu-Wallabees (which I never bought). I never bought Eastlands because to me they were knockoff Timberlands. And I had to wrestle with my inner id just to buy the S.Carter's because I was an original Gucci sneaker wearer. I've no doubt that at some point in the future Gucci is gonna come back out with their original sneaker, and Bally is gonna come back out with their original Aden and Alex, and Palladio (or someone with respect to originality) will come back out with the original British Walker like Sanders Shoes has continued to do with Playboys.

Yeah Prome you right them dudes would f*** em up cuz of course they would have to put their S*** in them especially Puff yo dat ni66a would make it so you wouldnt recognize em at all. I think a dude like Biz would keep em original and stay out of it but da rest of them dudes, yeah major egos. Look what Dame did to Pro Keds killed em. The Palladios and these joints are both made of real fine materials both the leather and the suede, the sole on the Britisher Playboys is organic thats why they was 180. All it will take is for one of them dudes to start asking around about BWs and it would be on. if they couldnt get the name they would come out wit something real slick with that look. I remember lugz came out wit something called the Hustler a Wally look alike nobody but RJ has put out the BW and they made money of that and the playboy.

See that's what I'm talking about you guys remember all the two tones didn't have the suede top some did but most did not. how big are those mock necks running? I still got the gray & wine trim mock with the button on the shoulder I wore a large back then. I put on a lot of weight since then.

Yeah I got the Davanzanti playboys ones from ebay they are burgundy I rocked them with a pair off dark blue jeans and a Burgundy silk and dark blue and burgundy pinstripe blazer. All the women were on it from the youngins the classy asses even the old biddies was size in me up. I am still waiting for my brown sanders joints from the uk. I fell you DoublePromo a man got to keep it official if it aint real it aint right. We don't follow the trend we set the trend or resurrect it by breathing new life in to it

Wassup Yo!, anybody remember the Destino's they came in low and 3/4 boots like the bally. they was pretty fly too. But da BW's was butta' softeven da 3/4 boot joints. I didn't care to much for the zip-up joints but the tassles, the vel straps, and tie-ups...really whateva' color or style you had you was da man. remember how you used to ask ya boy could you rock his if you didn't have any or he had a color you didn't have made you look like you had a whole lot. LOl. Big J they got the mocks in your size too yo. Yo, I almost forgot, Ice got in touch with the people from KOMAN who used to make the official mocks. Some asian cats from Jersey. I gotta ask him what ever happened with that. Yo Crew Be good , be safe and be ready. PEACE!

Allnat, I was just thinking about those Destino's from back in the day; they had 3/4 and low-cut and they had the buckle strap on them - used to rock them with Lee twills back in the day. I'm trying to remember if I was rocking a Member's Only jacket too back then.

Yo! Allnat I had them zip joints I just got em' cause they where new but I didn't care for them much plus the zipper would never stay up I always had to stop and pull em' up every 10 or 15 minutes.

Ice good work I know KOMAN still makes clothes I just got my son a KOMAN Brooklyn bomber in November so if we hit them up can we get them to put mocks back in production, if they don't have any DSTk lying around. We got to stay focused on our BW mission too we have to much will and brain power on this site to not succeed. We are all thinking about so we are consciously or subconsciously doing things to bring us closer to or goal so lets keep or head to the sky we gonna make happen Peace Love and Harmony

Yo y'all right dem cats diddy and jay z would put they own lil signature on the british walkers! We need to find someone who can cop da rights and bring back thee original polladio joints yo!! Cause dat ni66a diddy is feelin' hisself a lil too hard nah mean lol...Yo honestly I would cop dem ALL bee but first I'll rock da brown/beige wit some phat sean john jeans and a bvd cause yo I gotta pay homage to da REAL slick ni66as from da 80's era baby!!! Till next time BWB stay up!!!

what up BWB? i've been followin' the progress on second coming of the British(walker)Invasion, if you cats can pull this off it would be big, REAL BIG. I see Sanders UK mentioned alot yet when I go to the site I don't see the Playboys anywhere, and how do you tell the real Playboys from the fugazys? the GBX'S,the Canyon's.Are Mikes's original? Yo Mook,Nat,Life,Promo,Inc,Big J all yall, Keep Bangin. Get back at me.PEACE

Yo, I been thinkin,I had Promes joints, suede stripe quilted, but yo Im thinkin right,yo in between the quilted lines was also suede the whole top tongue wasnt leather and only the stripe was suede I remember in between the quilted lines was suede I been tryna look at Biz burgundy all leather slip-on cuz them joints is quilted you get a quick look at 7:26,27. I looked at Promes reminiscing about my navy joints. Somebody give me some feedback about the quilted top. Dee

Mook- cant remember the details on that.. But I have another question. Who were the original manufacturers of the Mock Necks?? Does anyone have a pic of the old Mock necks.. I know a Master Taylor in the VA Area that could probally reproduce a very decent replica. I know we dont like to do the replica's but if we cant get the orginal producers to kick out some more, then we are left with no choice. If you have a pic of the Mock's, shoot me a pic at ociecla@regent.edu . Im going to run some things down on this end and go to the Material store to see if there is any Knits that compare to the original Mocks. I am going to try to get a sample made for us to check out. We could put our own label on them if the product is approved by the crew and then we will have to see about getting a mass production. Who can head up the business aspect to see what it would take for us to do this? I would, but cant do the due diligence right now. Let me know your thoughts on this idea and if all agree, i will get going on my end for the mock necks..Also Double, check with the international brothers over there to see if it could be produced cheaper there.. Lets get this popping.. I was thinking coming into work this morning of and image of the Old School BWB's with their arm around the new Generation, passing the gear down to them to keep the traditions moving. That sounds like a commercial clip to me.. LOL

Bully B this the site you have to go to for the sanders playboys they only have black and brown suede. I spoke to this bloke bob who said we have to wait until they fill a Japan order to get so different some flavors. http://www.pointerproducts.co.uk/sanders-style-shoe-p-1757.html OCIENJC if you go to the pookside blogspot you will see a cat with a burgundy one or go to you tube and check wildstyle rap I think it is you will see a cat on the stoop rock in a black one they were made by KOMAN. Yeah I got a good tailor around here to eyetalina cat I have been try to find some good plaid fabric so I can get some paints done my man is closed for a month. What does your guy charge?

what up bwb? ocie the original manufacturer of the mock necks we used to rock was koman. i contacted them and one of there reps emailed me and we are trying to arrange a date to meet. i emailed him a picture from the blogspot that wave set up pookside.blogspot.com you can post flicks and see some old school flicks cats have posted. mook hit me at work what up nat, mook,ocie,life,ink,double p,big j,ali,neek, and the new homie bully

yo wave i just got off the phone with biz road manager he said he could probably get with you next week hit me at ice301@hotmail.com and i'll give you his math

Yo J even on the all suede slip ons the stripe isnt distinctive,look at yours and tell me they look like BWs to the untrained eye, the first pair I saw a dude wit was the black tie-ups in 2005 and me being a real Britisher expert I looked then I got close I said son those Britishers? He smiled and said yeah my brother used to wear em (he was a lil young 26). I knew but if you got some look at em, now tell me what distinguishes the stripe nuthin! If you dont know what you lookin at you mite think they wallys or something so I decided to go look at Kidw's burgundy all suede joint and guess what, the stripe aint leather but its like cloth its darker than the suede I kept thinkin bout doing something to the stripe on my 3 pair of crowns but since I seen that all suede slip-on, Im def either painting the stripe or dying or something yo the stripe even on the suede is suppose to stand out thats how you can spot em so right now Im painting my Black stripe red or gray the rust crowns I dont know. For all who dont have no,matter fact go to the top of this page and click the burgundy joint and look at the stripe. Yo Im sick of these samsung motherf*****s man they couldnt even make the all suede jammies right I aint worried cuz mine WILL be corrected. In summary these crowns look like wallys or something they do not look like BWs at all when I wore em NOBODY has spotted em unlike the Saxons were even Sisters been like "you got dem in flavors, I be seeing you wit em on I remember dudes used to wear them in 83" never heard it wearin these plain a** crowns. As you can see Im kinda hot yo cuz they the only ones that didnt bring out the Original first at least other retro gear came back original,then f***ed em up later these ni66as f***ed em up right off the muscle what clowns! Later yall I goin too far man let me calm down PEACE

yo mook me and wave on the jack answer your phone i 'm callin from the 212 number

The original mock neck co. name is Wayne Scott, I still have one I posted it this morning but I don't know how long before it show up.

Also Koman And korenette and the Wayne Scott.

The crown came in leather suede and both leather with the suede stripe the last pair of crowns I had back in the day was navy blue all over but the stripe was suede but never really liked the all suede back then because you really couldn't see the stripe all you had was the tassels and the tag to ID them. where they missed up was every time they put a style the they would stop making the older styles so if you saw a hot joint and didn't get it right away you may never get it unless you got lucky and a store just still had it in stock. I remember that very well.

Also Bwb Crew Check Manhattan wardrobe & supply .com they claim to be able to dye any thing but damn I'm not Dying my joints I'm gonna rock em' as is One.

Big J email me that pic so I can post it on the site son!!!!!!sickasssham@gmail.com

BWB's Peace and blessings to you. I called the Manhattan Wardrobe & Supply as Big J put us up on and they dont dye anything but they supply the dyes and paints to do anything. They said the BW's suede can only be tinted down (example) Black cant be dyed to any other color, Dark colors cant be tinted light, but light colors can be tinted down. Like the Beige joints i have can be tinted to Charcoal gray or Burgandy (Feeling me). He said the leather part of the shoe is painted with a leather paint. (Anycolor). It's a brush on paint, but the guy said it goes on smooth. He said this is the dye they use to use on the ADIDAS back in the day. He said it wont come off. So if you are up for a challenge, go for it. I think i may call Mikes and order some RJ colts to practice on. I dont want to mess up my BW's. But once i perfect it, then i will lay the skills to the BW's. Definately going to do the Burgandy and Gray joints. What should I rock em' with. Tips??? BTW, How are the business ventures going, any Prospects yet.. Also ICEISNICE, Im going to hold on the opportunity you presented until i get ready to launch into business, then I will hit you up for the services. Thanks for the opportunity.

We slowly gettin' things poppin' so we can't let up. Those of you with connections to industry ni66a's ,stay on top of them cats that can possibly open some doors for us. Summer is almost here so let's keep it poppin'.

That's a crazy mock neck there! Vertical ribbed lines and all. One of my favorite ones was a dark green short sleeve joint I used to rock with green suede Puma's back in the day. I've been trying to find a pic of some AJ Lester's online but have had no luck so far. Had the lovely light blue overlap joints with the dark blue stripe goind down the leg. Don't remember if they were teardrops or not, and if memory serves me correctly, the inside material of the pockets of the two-tone joints was the same color as the stripe going down the leg. I could just picture it now - a pair of dark blue leather/suede lace-up British Walkers, some light blue AJ Lester's with the dark blue overlap, a light blue mock neck, a spitfire light blue Kangol (or even a big apple hat), and a dark blue suede front jacket. Dayum, the last front jacket I had was a white leather front jacket that I used to rock back in '85-'86. Now I'm fiendin' for some vintage gear!

YOooo Double P, I was telling Mook about da tear drop joints about 2-3 weeks ago, but he said he couldn't remeber them. I had some gray ones. You remeber some knits we used to call "Ice cubes" because they had the square cubes all through them, the cube outline looked shiny and they had the zip pocket down the bottom that was on a slant. I had a pair of light blue. What about the Devil jeans remember them. Swedish knits was da shiznit wit da british or 69er's. I had a white leather front around '84 too, I was down in atlanta living wit my pops. It had the diamond cut outs on the front and the collar was trimmed in leather also, zip up of course. Man...them was the days. I used to rock them wit some white shellies and some lee twills.

Yo what da deal is? Did anybody do anything to their joints yet? I still cant get in touch wiht my brother to get the paint anybody who did holla back at the site with some results. Dee

What's shakin'BWB? First off, Peace to Nat up in my hometown, New Haven Ashmun Street playboy bldg 250 fif flo (RIP)I just got off the pookside site the fact that yall cats still have ish from back in da day that still look fresh ta def is CRAZZEE and Nat those blue Royals DAMN!!! oh and i had TWO pair of Ice Cubes grey and beige blow off my damn balcony. The last pair of BWs i had burg/grey zip ups i dogged by walking on the back of them like slippers so young so dumb. I remember the Q House used ta have bus trips to D Street every summer and me and boys would take our CETA job money and go school shopping, those days were the shizznit!!! Oh what about the v neck sweaters wit da colors along da v we used ta rock wit da mock necks.If i remember clearly we called them Cardigans yall NY cats may've called em something else.I wish i would've kept up wit some of the flicks i took back then i hope someone in the fam still some in a album somewhere. Anyway i'm gone PEACE

Bully B.. Peace and blessings to all my BWB's. That V Neck sweater was a Robert Klein. I have looked all over for it, but no more. I use to rock a Beige and Chocolate w/white sweater, with a chocolate or beige mock neck under it w/lee Jeans, BW's or Wallies with the Spitfire Kangol.. Of course i had the Name Plate on in those days.. LOL..Wow.. so long ago.. sweet memories..We are trying to find someone to reproduce the mock necks, maybe we could also draw up a replica of the Robert Klein once we lock something in and get them to produce it as well. we will keep you posted.

Yo anybody thinkin about painting your joints be aware you must first rub the leather down with acetone to strip the gloss from the leather. It wont take and the paint will crack my brother told me and Nat yesterday, far as the stripe or the suede he told me he uses paint markers sometimes but if you got somebody who's nice wit it then stick wit him but if you just feel like dabbling do your thing. I think Imma make my stripe leather on my crowns cuz I like the way that burgundy suede slip-on look. Mike said he got very few period! Small sizes are leaving the store pretty quick he told me "people are goin crazy over this shoe Mookey cuz of the web site" his store sounded like a bar when I talked to him Saturday even the RJ Colt BWs are outta here. Imma cop the Britisher Playboys they only $50 plus yo the Britishers are made from the finest leather & suede including the inside plus the Playboys got organic crepe soles I stay examining them joints and comparing them to the RJs the RJs aint no slouch(member that one)but they aint made like the BWs. So yo thats what it is man word BWB Peace Dee

Mook, Good wisdom on the BW's. I got the Britisher playboys and they are the Bomb. got them when i went to NYC Mikes. I just ordered the OSTRICH RJ Colt playboys, havent got them n the mail yet, but will let you know. I think I am going to paint up my brown and beige to Burgandy and Grey, will hit the site that was posted to purchase the paint. Will keep you posted.. IS anyone able to get me some Mock Necks with the piping around the collar??

YOOOooooo Bully, DAMN SON! You remeber the Comprehensive Employment & Training Act summer jobs? Dat's Ol' skool for real! I remember my first summer job they was only paying 52.00 dollars a week, I think that was '78-'79. We used to work and save all summer and hit delancy street or jamaica ave and get da gear for school. And far as Ashmun street...Yo, my grand mother used to live in dem joints on da top floor and my uncle on da first floor. I hated when they tore them down, the only real true Hi-rise joints we had. Da "Q" House used to throw da bomb block parties back in da day too. We used to call them V-neck sweaters 3-D sweaters or alpacas. I had a white with da burgundy and beige and da black with gray and white. OCIENJC I bought two pair of playboys the brown ostrich and the burgundy lizard joints from likeshoes.com is that where you got yours they was only 41.00. Keep pluggin' Crew we almost there ba lee dat!!! ICE, BIG J, KID, PROMO,MOOK,UNEEK, LIFE, OCIE, INK, ALI, and da rest. HOLLA BACK!!!

Ok bWB Crew I know by now all of you have seen coolie high but check this out if you watch it again look for the part when they get ready to cut out of class and a dude in the class room has the v-neck on it's black with red & gray v's he is sitting right next to cochees. if any one peeps that hit me back.

Yo took my Navy joints to the dude today to get em dyed. Yo the dude told me the dye is goin to run so it will be hard to dye the leather only plus he told me once the dye hits the suede you cant be sure what color is goin to come out. I took all my koints to son and asked yo what about these? Aight what about these,he told me the sole is gonna be navy too I said f*** it I like that better than brown & blue. He tried to talk me outta dying my joints he said look the suede is gonna be hard now the shoe is gonna be different stay with the color you got. I asked him (naturally) about the acrylic paint he said "paint is for walls" he's wunna dem old school cats acrylic paint and air brushing and all this "new fangled" stuff aint for the older Gs. He said it aint the best but Imma go ahead and get some acrylic and play with my stripe one some and my leather on others it seems this way is better cuz it wont run like the dye so when I get em back Imma pass some flicks around and let yall decide what it
