UK’s First Shoe Vending Machine Hits London
Next time you’re in London at 3am and wake to find yourself mysteriously shoeless, just point your feet towards Carnaby St., to what is being billed as the UK’s first sports trainer vending machine.
Those wacky Japanese will sell pretty much anything in a vending machine and it’s high time we got some of that 24-hour shopping experience over here.
Japanese sports brand, Onitsuka Tiger, which has a store off Carnaby St., has just launched a vending machine containing 24 pair of trainers in 6 different sizes.
The machine is available for use right now, at least until tomorrow, after which it tours the country in other shopping hotspots. No news on prices though but you can be sure they won’t be too cheap.
There’s even a chance you can win a pair, apparently. Sadly, my local Asbos would have this machine in the back of a nicked van before you could say: “Arigatou gozaimasu’.-Martin Lynch
