What will Rapha do next?

[Mike I]

Well, they'll have to go some to beat the fifty quid snot rag ...

Blimey Mike, and I thought a tenner for a bog standard plastic bidon was a bit steep, that's amazing.

My money is on any shoes being similar to the uber expensive Vitorria ones you can get (with the help of a mortgage).

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]I see where you're going Mr . I think they'll mega retro with leather uppers, probably brogue styling and of course will use the finest leather this side of the Andies!

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]overheard in Condor last week...

"Rapha are doing shoes, probably next year..."


Any suggestions on what they'll look like?

[Marek]

Yes it will be a retro price, it will be a pre-credit crunch price, which is retro right .

Mind you with the way that sterling has moved in the last couple of weeks, next year your Italian and Japanese gear is going to get a hell of a lot more expensive.

Cheers

The trouble for Rapha is if you want ludicrously expensive shoes then you could get [url=http://www.d2shoe.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=10&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1]these[/url], a bargain at USD 675 Go to the shoe gallery to see just how hideous they can make a pair of shoes look.

Nice to note that Zipp can still be relied upon for stupid product names/descriptions. I give you the drying towel (it's in front of the poster Sean ). Hmmm not the one that makes you wetter then. Not quite sure how a towel qualifies for their stupid Speed Weaponry slogan either, perhaps it's dimpled .
