Bolwells in blsckwood was great for those into their Adidas Gazelle, Jeans etc, the locals didn't seem as enthusiastic about purchasing them as the football boys from cardiff.
Bolwells had all sorts of goodies. Apart from Gazelles I had a pair of Keglar, Grand Slam and Lendl daps from there. It was an Aladdin's cave for Adidas stuff.

Getting to Blackwood was a pain in the arse mind. Had to catch a Red & White or a Islwn Borough bus from Treharris square. Inevitably Blackwood was full of weirdos who hail from Gwent.
