Went to a recycle shop yesterday which is pretty much the Japanese equivalent of a thrift store. I went to two shops; the first kinda sucked and didn't have much good other than electronics and CD. The second, however, was kick-ass hard-rocking.
I don't really get it. Nagasaki isn't exactly hipster-city and the surrounding area isn't even close to metropolitan, so I don't understand how this thrift store that's not even in the city had a bunch of Stussy, Supreme, XLarge, and even Bape (PARTY FAVORITE!). They had tons of jeans there too, which reminds me that I gotta find a good pair of Japanese selvedge denim to waste my hard-earned money on.
Speaking of jeans, they had the most ridiculous shoes I have ever seen there. I had no idea that these exist, but they had a pair of Evisu High-tops for sale. Unfortunately it was a size 11 or something, so I couldn't pick them up. I could just barely shove my feet into them, but it felt like I was walking on bound feet. The only shoes that fit me there were a pair of Dunks that were so trashed I was surprised they still held together. I kinda wanted to pick them up, but I think whoever wore them before put them through some sort of pulveriser to make them the weirdest, most unfomfortable pair of shoes ever. The back was all worn down, but the front still had a bunch of padding. It was like walking in sand. Really pinchy, leathery sand.
They also had a pair of original stan smiths there, and some OG Air Jordans. But they also weren't in my size and were probably $600 USD.
There were also a bunch of kubrick toys there too. They had a Batman set there, but absolutely no Batman figures. They had Catwoman, Selina Kyle, The Penguin, even a fucking penguin missile thing that nobody remembers, but no Batman.
However, though I wasn't able to pick up any Batman gear, I did get my hands on a rocking Play-doh shirt and a NeckFace X Supreme tee. RAAAAAD.
Oh yeah I also went to a barbecue thing with a bunch of really devout christians which was a little weird but the food was delish.
