I was just eye-balling those this very afternoon. I plan to use my Adidas gift cards I caught at the Sunday raffle! Are they canvas with leathah? I like leathah.

Did they have a Vespa in the store? If so, find out which dealer it came from. They should have 20% off coupons there that you can use to buy the shoes. Also you will be entered to win an Adidas-themed Vespa (an S 50 I believe).

I failed to catch a gift card at AV on Sunday despite pushing and shoving.
Drew, I know some dealers are offering discount cards. You guys have any such promotion going on down there? |

Those are SWEET. Makes me question if you should wear them or put them on display. So many cool details inside and out.

Too bad that once the soles wear out your spendy kicks are useless. That is why I buy real shoes with real soles rather than sneakers. How about some Vespa branded riding boots, now that would be awesome. They do look quite nice though. Are they as hideously overpriced as most Vespa accessories?

Sweet shoes, I haven't seen those particular models in Toronto yet, I like those more than the Adidas Vepsa shoes I've seen here so far.

If they were trying to be REALLY authentic, they'd come out with a shoe that on the right hand side a piece of leather would extend all the way up to your mid-calf ...the place we all have caught ourselves a million times ( and have big scars and scabs to prove it ) kickstarting our scooters.
