Shoe Vending Machine Is Every Sassy Girl’s Wet Dream
Ok, this is another one of those wacky idea from Japan. You’ve seen the used knickers vending machine, and you’ve probably seen one selling Ipods. But lets me introduce the Shoe vending machine located in Carnaby Street, Central London. It carries 24 pairs of running shoes in six different sizes. To be honest, I was a bit curious to see what it looks like, so I went to Carnaby Street to look for it today. I couldn’t find it, maybe somebody could post a comment to its exact location.
The Shoe vending machine trend started when Japanese brand Onitsuka Tiger released their new trainer and to promote it, they offered their trainer to buy from vending machines around Japan. I can see this concept catching on with the female tourists, but for how long can the vending machine remain standing is any body’s guess. Having something like this in London is just asking for trouble, looting, vandalism etc..

Hi Bruce,
The Onitsuka Tiger vending machine was on Carnaby Street from 14th - 16th April, and is now being transported up to Manchester to start a nationwide tour.

Thanx for the info Onitsuka Tiger, I guess I’m a couple of days too late.

I love the picture…then again, what are you supposed to do with your old shoes? they should have a shoe drop off that they donate used shoes to Salvation Army or something.
