While I had this shooting with the lovely Anna, I pulled out a pair of red and white Buffalo Towers. As I asked her if she ever wore such shoes, she replied, she seen them during her childhood, but her parents never bought her a pair of those. I asked her to wear a matching pair of wide cut, orange coloured, shiny nylon ravepants to that when handing her the outfit.
During the time I acquired these Buffalo Towers shoes, the Buffalo shoes trend was already weakening. After 3 or 4 years you could see Buffalo shoes on the streets almost everywhere, they become rare. I had already started my website Technogirlies during that time and was well known in the scene. So it happened that one day I got a text message from an unknown number. A girl asked if I would like to buy a package of old Buffalo shoes for my shootings. We wrote some messages back and forth and agreed that I should look at the shoes and then decide. When I looked in the trunk of her car at the meeting, I thought I get a heart attack. The trunk was filled with plenty of shoes, not only Buffalos but some Swears and cheap copies too.
After some discussion, we finally agreed on a price for the whole package. Paying a comparatively small sum for 12 pairs of techno style, I left the scene very happy. When sorting the stuff at home, I realized some of the shoes were very rare when it comes to colour combinations. As those red and white Buffalo Towers you can see in this set with Anna.
