Unfortunately, I can't post pictures on my phone.

 

1. Stan Smith (white/green)

2. New York

3. ZX 500 (grey/red)

4. Lendl Supreme

5. Adidas Madrid (leather version)

To be honest I never was big on the actual names of the type,I just bought what I liked and wasn't too expensive.

Do you still wear Adidas trainees?

 

I do, but not that often.

[Mook]

1. My newest pair, navy Munchens

 

 

2. My old Adidas Kicks, although I put white laces in them, the blue ones are a bit much.

 

 

3, The classic navy Sambas, they go with pretty much anything.

 

 

4. Starsky's SL72s, my pair are still going strong.

 

 

 

5. Navy Hamburgs, got them on today.

Honourable mentions for Gazelle (royal blue/white) , Micropacer (navy blue - from the early 00's) and Kegler (white/blue) .

I have got 3 pairs of adidas trainies,all boxed that I have hardly worn due to their material being not conducive to our shitty weather. I have been wearing a pair of Nikes every day for the last couple of years and they are now hanging off my feet. I am now looking for a pair of daily trainies,probably black adidas.

White trainers are ok with dark jeans. They look cack with pale jeans.

Typically around my way, the dirtboxes usually wear white Reebok or white Nike Air Max. So white adidas are usually reserved for the decent folk.

I disagree... worn pale jeans and scuffy white trainers are a very urban summer look.

[Tony Moanero]

Nah, scruffy shoes, including trainees, look turd.

1. ZX 8000 (aqua)

2. Forest hills (gold)

3. New York (Carlos)

4. Trimm trab (Argentina blue)

5. Indoor tennis dap

 

Probably missed a few? But that's pretty much all I wear now.

Bourgeois bastards.

Bourgeois bastards.

A bourgeois bastard wouldn't wear Adidas trainees!

Been reading the AOA volume 2 book recently and trying to come up with my top 5 but it's really difficult. Keep forgetting trainers I've had. But...

 

1. Stan Smith (white/green)

2. Trim Trabb (Argentina)

3. Hamburg (white/blue)

4. Chile 62 (brown suede)

5. Samba (blue)

[Vincent Vega]

Loving these Gazelle in the blue and black and the New York's in burgundy (I saw them on a blog from Size? and can't find any other images of them so ignore the two fellas who are Size? buyers).

 

 

I like some white trainees, but anyone over the age of 30 looks a cunt in them.

I like looking like a cunt, you bastard.

 

The Gazelle Super in royal blue/white stripes are boss. I like Nike Waffle Racer, but not in that colour.

Thanks.

 

Is the book worth the money? Is there a lot of new content or can similar pictures be found online?

[Tony Moanero]

Years ago, I bought Trainers by Neal Heard. I liked it then and it's still a decent book, but there are much better pictures online nowadays.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I've never owned a pair of white trainers, they look shite at any age imo.

Stan Smiths (white/green) are the best trainees that Adidas have ever made, in my opinion.

You can see better pictures online but the book has collectors giving write ups of their top 5 favourite trainers ever which is the main focu. I'm enjoying it and it's definitely worth a read but it's probably not worth what I paid for it.

I didn't buy these:

 

 

Shiny and gay and horrible.

 

I did but these:

 

Ace.
