Mook, in his bedsit in Edinburgh, he's sold all his furniture, but he's still got his Rekord's.

"Ah'm standing on the edge of tomorrow, so ah ahm. And yez can all shite cuz they make me look like Roger Moore" he shouted as the Baylifts kicked the door in.

Hahahahaha. Mooky may be going down, but he's doing it in style.

"Baylifts" 

Pure brilliance. Must have a look at that thread again.

The blue ones look terrible on the site yeah, different shape from the white. Good to hear they are better in reality. 

Here's a better picture of them. I put the blue laces in though.

Better colour as well as shape. Don't look like they are made out of plastic there either.

Picture of vintage pair. They've done a decent job on the reproductions.

They’re great. The uppers on Mook’s pair are more similar to these, though.

Ah yea, they're definitely a lot closer to Mook's  one.

These Munchens are nice, though turd tongues would look better.

I love these. Can’t quite make out the model.

Missus bought me the Prost for Christmas and they arrived today. Awful quality on the glue joins. Going to send them back. So much for me spouting about Vietnam quality...

[Mook]

That's very poor, don't like to see that.

i read this morning adidas are selling up the reebok business that includes some other brands such as north face. it seems buying reebok to achieve global domination has failed.

Bjorn Borg made Diadora cool, Nike Wimbledon looked great and the Nike Air Trainer 1 was innovative. Adidas, however, made the best tennis trainees. Hailett/Stan Smith, Forest Hills, Grand Prix, Grand Slam, Rod Laver, Wimbledon and, of course, the various Ivan Lendl models.

 

[Barrington Womble]

i love the lendl's, especially that 1st one there.

The stripes in that colour combination are just great. My favourites are Lendl Competition (the version in the second picture), though.

I’m sure most who frequent this thread have seen this before, but worth reposting just in case. 
 

Crazy how they start falling apart, it’s like the end of an Indiana Jones movie or something when the priceless treasure remains elusive.

Yeah, the green and yellow looked boss.

[ZonkoVille77]

Partly out of Nostalgia, partly because I'm a big kid maybe, but I've bought these. They don't look too gimmicky. I'll regret it when the drink wears off tomorrow.
