Trainees

[paddyberger15]

It's taken me over 10 years to even find a picture of Adidas Columbia, I don't ever expect to buy any unless they reproduce them but here is a picture.

 

Holy grail found.

 

 

Nicely. A Trimm Trab/ Grand Slam Hybrid. They were a mid 90's model and very hard to get hold of.

I've never seen those re-released. The white ones were a Tennis shoe at one time, they had Silver stripes.

[Alan Sex]

I've got many trainers, but my favourite shoes are my leopard creepers.

Didn't know they did them in the mid 90's, these must be the ones I remember fondly then, would have been 1984/85 :-

 

 

I don't know if they're all owned by the same person but there is a huge collection on here :- Fresh sneakers and vintage trainers. IN SNEAKERS WE TRUST!!!

I have my eye on a pair of these. Nice and simple.

 

Also, currently wearing these:

 

 

As well as a pair of white converse all stars. Boss.

ADIDAS HARVARD BNIB SIZE 11 VINTAGE COLUMBIA GALAXY on eBay (end time 19-Oct-10 09:45:56 BST)

 

 

[Trumo]

Liking the old school Columbia/Harvard ones. Mine's are the bog standard Superstar silvers.

 

 

20-odd years back I had a pair of Robins in grey suede with white. Cannot find a record of them existing anywhere. The nearest I can find are Gazelles. Googling "Adidas Robin" just comes up with ski goggles now.

 

[Malarkey]

I'm after a pair of Adidas Dublin which Adidas have discontinued.

 

Gutted.

[Guest ShoePiss]

These are currently in Mesquite, TX. Soon to join my stable.

 

[Fugitive]

I'm a Trainee whore.

[sh#t waffle]

I intend to get these soon, as I've not had Gazelles for years and years:

 

 

Plus I really want some Trimm Trab. Those Harvards are lovely too.

[Guest ShoePiss]

It only just occurred to me that Harvard and Columbia were named after Ivy league colleges in the states. Funny that a load of scals (self included) used to go mad over them in the mid 80's oblivious of the tip of the cap to educational institutions.

Those Gazelles are gorgeous, Mr. Waffle.

Gonna get a pair of these.

[Woo]

.Lad.

[Ted]

They'll be my gym trainees. Innit.

[Spy Bee]

I don't know if someone has made this point, but trainees are people that are being trained. The term for comfortable footwear is actually trainers.

Well knock me down with a feather

[Original202]

I must be getting old as I'd never have dared to buy Hi Tec when I was younger as it just wasn't cool at all. But I just got myself a pair of these for £15

 

 

I dunno whether the cool kids will now say they're retro so they're good, but I just want them to play squash in.

[odris]

You're deffo getting old, or gay.

[Ted]

Hi-Tec!!??

 

You'd better be a hideously uncool P.E teacher, son.

[RJ Fan club]

My Sambas, Chile 62's and LA's are ready for the bin.

 

My SL72, will do a few good months yet. I may look another pair they have been that awesome

[Ted]

My SL72's almost ripped my heels to bits on Sunday. Gonna have to stop wearing them, I think.

 

Or get new ones. Yeah, that'll work better.

[Original202]

Maybe I could become an old, gay, P.E teacher? They do have a bit of a pedo-teacher look about them, actually. I'm playing squash on thursday, if I don't ever post on here after that then it means I was beaten to death for wearing them.
