"Latest Pick-Up"- Team outsole.nl

Si tu aimes les Nike Air Max rares et introuvables, les gars d'outsole.nl devraient te dire quelque chose. outsole.nl a été fondé par Frank Klerks en 2014. Peu de temps après, Bas Honders les a rejoints, avec qui Frank vend déjà des sneakers depuis plus de dix ans sur diverses plateformes, aussi bien en ligne que hors ligne. La collection des deux compte 1500 sneakers, la plupart d'entre elles des Nike Air Max 1. Depuis peu, Dennis Wegereef est aussi de la partie, il soutient les deux comme graphiste et c'est avec son aide qu'outsole.nl a été lancé en octobre de l'année dernière.

Pourquoi ils ont fondé la boutique, ça saute aux yeux. Pour les chaussures "hype", qui coûtent volontiers plus de 300 €, il faut en fait se rendre sur les plateformes classiques comme eBay ou Facebook pour pouvoir mettre la main sur la chaussure. Souvent, il n'est cependant pas garanti que les vendeurs de ces chaussures haut de gamme soient "legit", c'est-à-dire qu'ils ne soient pas de ce qu'on appelle des scammers, qui empochent justement l'argent mais ne lâchent pas la chaussure. C'était la raison pour laquelle les gars ont lancé leur boutique, dans laquelle ils proposent entre-temps plus de 600 sneakers différentes et rares, la plupart d'entre elles des Air Max. Nous ne parlons pas ici de chaussures sorties la saison dernière, mais de gros calibres comme la Patta x Air Max 1 Burgundy ou la
Nike Air Max 90 Homegrown".
"Nous proposons à nos acheteurs exactement le même service que le font aussi les boutiques "normales". L'acheteur peut être sûr chez nous que a) les chaussures sont authentiques et b) qu'il recevra vraiment sa chaussure, " dit Frank.
Par ailleurs, 1000 autres paires différentes attendent entre-temps encore d'être intégrées à la boutique. En raison de la forte demande, on trouve désormais aussi des Jordan, des New Balance et des chaussures vintage dans la boutique.

Frank Klerks

What´s your shoe size?
I’m US 9 – US 9.5.

Whats your latest purchase?
For my personal collection that has been another pair of the Nike Air Max 1 Atmos Elephant. It doesn’t happen that often that I buy a regular release though.

What´s your all-time classic sneaker?
That must be the Nike Air Max 1 London “Concord Sample”, from the Overkill Studio ID series. This CW is awesome as f*ck.

Which pair of sneakers will you be buying next?
I mostly wear Nike Air Max 1 ID’s (only the classic model, no ‘innovative’ crap), as common releases don’t give me the wow-feeling anymore. I’ve been so lucky to have them all in my hands multiple times. I still have the wow-feeling with crazy ID’s. So my next purchase probably be some Nike Air Max 1 ID again.

What brand caught your attetion lately?
I stick to Nike when it comes up to brands, so there is no other brand that caught my attention in a positive way lately.

How many shoes do you own?
Between 1000 and 1100 pairs of sneakers. Of course, there are many sneakers included for sale purposes. I personally wear about 10-20 AM1’s, mostly ID’s. At working days I have to wear dress shoes though.

What style is a “no-go” for you?
Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, NMD’s, worn by boys wearing a long “t-shirt” dress over “skinny jeans” leggings. With of course, the finishing touch of a man bun.

Bas Honders

Whats your shoe size?
My size is US 10.5, but with older AM1 releases I wear US 10 as well.

Whats your latest purchase?
That is the AM1 Flyknit ‘Oreo’.

What´s your all-time classic sneaker?
That is definitely the AM1 Crepe from 2004. I am in love with the shape, materials, colourway, and the comfort of the sneakers. I own 3 pairs in my size at the moment: 1 pair is brand new in the original box and I wear the other 2 pairs a lot.

Which pair of sneakers will you be buying next?
I am not really searching for a particular pair at the moment. Basically that’s because I already own everything I want. That’s why I really like the innovative options on Nike ID. I really like the new Flyknit options on the AM1, so that will be the next pair Iam going to buy.

What brand caught your attention lately?
My personal collection consists for about 95% of Nike AM1 sneakers. That’s because I am not a collector of multiple brands. I am really into the Nike AM1 and I have some pairs of Nike AM90 and Asics Gel Lyte III and V as well. So there is no other brand that caught my attention lately.

How many shoes do you own?
That is a really hard question to answer. I don't know how many sneakers I own at the moment. But that will be around 300-400 pairs of sneakers.

What style is a no-go for you?
Definitely the ‘Yeezy NMD Boost’ style. In my opinion those sneakers are terrific. I don’t like the silhouette at all and I don’t understand why everybody wants to wear the same overhyped sneakers just because somebody told them ‘they are the shit’. I wear sneakers because I personally like them and I think they are cool, not because everyone is wearing them ‘so they must be cool’.

Dennis Wegereef

Whats yoour shoe size?
US 8.5

Whats´s your latets puchase?
I finally found and bought the Nike Air Max 1 Atmos Elephant in my size. I already own them one size bigger.

Whats your all-time classic Sneaker?
That is the Nike Air Max 1 Amsterdam. I just like the colorway. They look so wrong, that they actually look great. When I’ve got them on feet, I see everybody turning their heads to have a short look at them. Probably because most of them think they’re ugly tho.

Which pair of Sneakers will you be buying next?
I’m looking around to get the new Nike Air Jordan 1 Banned for a decent price. Of course it might be a Nike Air Max 1 steal as well.

What brand caught your attention lately?
I don’t really have a brand that I’m interested in other than Nike. I don’t own any kind of Adidas but I noticed they are doing big things in the sneaker world again. They came up with some models that are very interesting. It is nice to see sneaker collectors’ attention changing between brands through the years.

How many shoes do you own?
Compared to my Outsole colleagues I don’t have that many sneakers. I’ve probably got about 50 pairs of sneakers. Mostly Nike Air Max 1’s, but also some Nike Air Jordans.

What style is a no-go for you?
I don’t really mind what other people wear. However, jeans with wide legs, let’s call it the ‘skater style’, are not my cup of tea.

Thank´s guys for taking the time to talk and we are looking forward to see more rare and exclusive shoes from you. See you next time at Sneakerness Amsterdam or at any other Sneaker Convention.
