Shoes & Techno

Last week I had the immense pleasure of going up to Northampton, visiting one of the world's finest shoemakers and being given the full factory tour. With their different last styles having the same numbering system (x-zero-x) of Roland's drum machines of the 1980s I was intrigued to see a convergence of two of my favourite subjects. Apparently they used to produce a 303 last, but a very long time ago, so unfortunately I didn't get a picture of my holy grail — the acid shoe.
