Have any of you Fukers been in the 'invite' only bit of the Nike iD Oxford Circus store?

I've been considering making some AM90 IDs and since I don't work too far from the store, I was thinking maybe I should ring up for an invitation.

Is there much difference in the materials available?
How much more expensive is it?
What's the wait like?

Cheers

Nike IDs and Abercrombie.

Are you trying to give Milspex a heart attack?

the london one is a bit shit, the materials and options aren't brilliant and it seems very expensive - almost £90 for dunks, over £100 of airs and i think £150 for air forces

do it for the experience if you've got money to burn

they'll be coming back from what i've been told told - they've been removed from the id website aswell

i really hope they have mesh this time, i really fancy one last pair of loud trainers.

I have a mate who works at the studio so hopefully he'll be able to sort me out...

So there isn't really that much more choice of materials in the VIP iD area?
And its the same price as the website?

no point imo, they have probably stripped the mesh option to appeal to a wider market

pretty much yeah, plus the vip area is a joke is you can call up and get an appointment. i think prices are more expensive than online

its a clever concept which has been done very well - im sure we'll agree that the studio looks incredible. Although everything i liked about nike id has been ruined as its been opened up to the masses - especially rude boi's

i would only do it if i could create something decent and on a good shoe but at present this can't be done

worst was, i could have got 40% discount in the regular id suite through a mate who works for nike, but zero discount in the vip one Puzzled
