zoltar & foot patrol

behind the shopping district of oxford street is the first stop for underground street wear shopping. 'foot patrol' is the mecca for trainer specialists. the shop sells the popular trainers, but concentrates mainly on the rare edition trainers. special editions and sample runs of the coolest shoes come directly from the various manufacturers. foot patrol has the same prices as other london stores, but the limited special editions can go for as much as 270 pounds. also in the west end you find the super-so-cool 'zoltar the magnificent' with it's provocative décor. the shop sells clothes, trainers and toys. co-owner dan macmillan and keith richard's son marlon have styled the shop according to their own taste. there are wehrmacht-hand-grenades for door-handles, painted chainsaws, nazi action men, mcdonalds-logo branded on ak47s, saddam hussein mannequins and porno-photos wallpaper in the toilet that transform this shopping trip into a real experience. in the shop's basement visitors can browse art books and see new exhibitions of underground artists every three months.
