The adidas Store

So we finally made it through the rain - and there has been a tremendous amount of rain since about 7am - and reached the adidas originals store on Wooster. We went on the subway - a first for me, despite this being my fourth time here - and, thanks to Silvana's excellent map-reading skills, it was the quickest, simplest thing imaginable.

We spent about half an hour wandering around in near silence at this trefoil'd temple to the shoe before deciding on the following: some Superstar Wides, Superstar Skates and - heaven's above! - a hooded top for me; Superstar Skates and Superstar 1's (in the incredible Memphis Grizzlies colourway above) for S and a pair of pure white shelltoes for Scrap. A quick trip to American Eagle Outfitters - aka Gapacrombie - for a pair of jeans (20 quid, squire) and it was back on the subway to Grand Central Station for bivalves and booze.
