Selling clothing via vending machines is really taking off. Uniqlo started this idea a few years ago, and now brands like Onitsuka Tiger are jumping on the trend.
It’s first sneaker vending machine opened this week near Carnaby Street in London. The machine carries up to 24 pairs of Onitsuka Tigers in 6 different shoe sizes (UK 5,6,7,8,9 and 10).
If you plan on buying a pair, be sure you know your shoe size, because you can’t try before you buy and there’s no refunds!

Anything will sell as long as you put it in a vending machine! Hope the shoe doesn’t get caught before it falls. :p
How funny. Sadly, when it comes to shoes, I need to try before buying. I suppose you never know when you will need to buy a pair of shoes as you’re walking down the street…
Very handy if you happen to get shoe mugged on the mean streets of London.
@hamatoyoshi86 – and we know how often that happens! :p lol
Imagine if more stuff were sold in vending machines, like electronics or cell phones. Stuff that normally requires a store and a sales representative to “assist” which usually just ends up someone ringing you up. Cutting out all that unnecessary overhead would make prices drop!
