Adidas Trainers

[cloggypop]

Turd brown but metallic stripe. It's a Moanero dilemma.

 

Edit: maybe not metallic, just cheap shiny leather.

Adidas are the biggest rip offs for trainers... massively over priced

Only because the quality often isn’t up to much. Current prices are about right, if not cheaper than they should be, when you consider what we paid in the 80s. Just a shame that the product is a pale imitation of what it used to be.

Shop around. I've just picked up a pair of these from some kind of discount shop I'd never heard of for £25.

 

 

I needed some flatter shoes for cycling, and I don't really care if they fall off my feet after a few months at that price.

I could be wrong, but they look a bit suspect to me. Where did you get them from?

I think it was called Deichman (not sure on the spelling there), seems to be a TK Maxx type place that piles them high and knocks em out dirt cheap when there's only one pair left in your size. D'you reckon I've got some dodgy ones then Tone? That'd be quite exciting, I've not had knock off trainers since I was a kid, when I had some Fila high-tops with finishing so poor they could saw your ankles off.

 

I was also considering picking up a Ghana fo****ll shirt from a charity shop too to complete the look.

What hat though?

What hat though?

My current mission is to find a decent straw pork pie hat for summer, preferably with a diamond crown. I think that'd go nicely with some jarg adidas and a ghana shirt.

I'm not that arsed about brands usually but this thread and seeing the Chimp's fine collection in Australia meant I decided to grab a pair, arriving today:

Most of that goes into the research and development of spunk-proof suede because everyone wanks over them

[lifetime fan]

These are nice. £60 at size.

I have those in a wine / burgandy colour. Very comfy. Those blue ones are much nicer.

Continental 80s

 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Look like shit Reebok Classic.

[aRdja]

Quelle surprise

Continental 80s

 

 

They look like something my granny would've bought for me at the market when I was 13 & then my Dad would've had to explain to her that she'd have to take them back to save me getting battered at school.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Quelle surprise

Get yourself a nice pair of Samba, a Le Coq Sportiff top and a pair of Lois.

[cloggypop]

They look like Makro trabs

I like Reebok Workouts, always have. Some utter wrong’uns wear them, but I’m not arsed about that. Simple, timeless and look ace worn with shorts.

Reebok are fucking tat, I think moreso since Adidas bought them out, but even back in the 90's stick a pair of classics next to pair of gazelle or campus and they look fucking shit - as do those continentals above.

in the 90's Berghaus and classics were scally central while the cool kids were rocking stussy and adidas originals 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

90's had some awful shit, White Knights and Travel Fox.

I love Adidas, but I’ve never been one to wear just one brand of trainees. It doesn’t have to either/or, as far as I’m concerned. I just wear what I like, and have done since I was about 14. I’m not not arsed about what other people wear.

 

Reebok was ace in the mid to late 80s. Good quality, soft, supple leather. Workouts still look good, in my opinion, just a shame the leather is more like plastic, nowadays.

 

I’ve never liked Stüssy, far too surfy looking. Might be ok if I lived in Santa Carla and was bombing around fighting vampires.

 

Berghaus made some great, good quality technical jackets. Probably still do, like, but it’s not something I’ve paid attention to in years.

I don’t remember White Knights, mate. Do you mean British Knights?

[Jenson]

 

 

I quite like these, although I have to confess I actually hadn't heard of them until yesterday.

[Mook]

I'd blocked out Travel Fox I think, completely forgotten about them.

 

No wonder...
