Materialism: What have you bought recently?

[Batard]

My girlfriend has me wearing skinny jeans, I'm a 39 year old man. So of course I embraced the change. I've spent a shad load of money on Levi's 511, they're comfy as fuck.

I'm after a new coat now, something for the spring.

New shoes. Very sexy pair of black hi-tops. So many compliments. Money well spent.

Needed some trainers so decided to snap up a pair of these;

Oooh, I have the same shoes. I think so little of them they are my work shoes. Covered in bleach, coffee, milk and other products. They were unbearably uncomfortable till I took out the insoles and cut a huge chunk from the inside side.  I would never recommend those shoes to anyone. They are also ugly.

Despite having arched feet those shoes made me feel flat-footed. The insole was so thick where my foot arched it cause my feet ache after about an hour. I had even returned my original pair because I thought they were defective. You might not have that problem but just a heads up,.

I love my FitBit Blaze. I wear it 24/7.

Ive bought the new Adidas Atlanta United Polo.

Other than that, i really haven't bought much worth any $$

Adidas NMDs. My girlfriend actually bought them for me and they're comfy as fuck.

Bought a new ipad on Thursday because my MacBook was in for repair and I was away for the weekend so needed something to use.

Got the Nintendo Switch on this Friday past. Liking it so far and I like that I can store it for travel pretty easily as well.

Picked up a pair of these. Every time i swear off buying Tigers but they seem to be the only brand you can find over here at the minute.

Yep got the new Breath of the Wild with it. No other real title I was interested in. Maybe Bomberman a little later.

P.S. I like Tigers but not the darker variety the more brighter kinds.

I absolutely adore Tiger Onitsuka trainers.  They just look so good!

On the subject of trainers...  Recently I bought two different pairs of Nike Cortez classic trainers and now I'm thinking about buying a pair of Adidas Stan Smith...  Now, the question here is that I've always really liked Stan Smith trainers silently but never owned a pair for one specific reason which are "chavs".  I really hate the fact of what the trainers say to me in the psyche but at the same time I hate being like that and feel restricted by it.

saw a link on my FB that someone bought a watch off Ottega.co.uk

They were selling watches for free as a 'promotional' offer and you only had to pay £8 postage/delivery costs.

Got this:

If you go on their site, they may still have the offer running.

An online training course. Ok, It's not a physical purchase as per above but fuck it.

I've just been allocated two Category Three tickets for the Champions League Final in Cardiff in June via the ballot on the UEFA website.

Nicely done, who you hoping to see?

If I could choose, it would be an El Clàsico Final but I'd happily watch Bayern, Dortmund or Juve too.

How is that going for you? Are you experiencing any of the usual issues? Freezing, damage to the screen, broken docks, etc? I want one but I think I'll wait for the '2.0' version. You know how Nintendo loves upgrading the hardware.

I don't like that band but that is one nice minimalist watch there mate. Shame, it's usually too hot to wear one here.

Sorry to burst your bubble although it'll come with a dodgy brand on it and it's awful quality.

Source: I bought one.

Oooh, I love the Nazi watch. I'm looking for a watch to pair with a nice dark leather band; of course I probably won't buy it because it'll be expensive.

So far haven't had a problem with it. The usual screen tearing that has been reported by so many people online really hasn't plagued me but then again the only two games I really have played are BotW and S-Bomberman. As for hardware upgrades I think they'll do a new controller style and do away with the joycon config they have going with the wrist-bands but I can't see them needing to do much more. The only gripe I have is with the stand on the back that flips out to offer a vertical watching position. Sometimes I think if you accidentally try and tip it that it will break in half but its been sturdy so far.
