So I went to a Nike shop today because I want to get back into running. Long story short, I came out with a pair of old school Air Max 1s in khaki, as well as some more boring technical modern running things  Anyway..... Wearing these 80s rude boys got me thinking. A thread on trainers. Your favourites, your least favourites. Fond memories and so on. Bring it on. (PS. fuck me I'd forgotten how comfy these are  ) |

Used to love my black Chile 62’s but tatty so used for gardening now 😮

Least favourite was a pair of green suede converse couldn’t go outside in them without needing spend three days after cleaning them. |

Both brilliant old school trainers
Gone off gazelle and superstar as everyone has them but tend to wear climbing approach type shoes now. Comfy and look good

I'm all Adidas, whether it's my 20 year old faded fleece, my bag for work or my sambas. I don't mind Reebok but I just don't like Nike somehow.
I used to be a Thrasher so I got through a lot of white hi tops. Think I had some Reeboks and then some low budget Nicks which looked OK but didn't last too long.
I also like my all black Converse. Have thought about a pair of all black Metallica endorsed Vans.

I have a bit of a collection of trainers, around 35 pairs. Big fan of Adidas but I have not been wearing them of late. Been wearing mainly Converse my current favorites. Prefer the all leather types of any trainer.
Not into Nike at all.
I do Have a nice pair of Gola harrier in gold leather which are a bit of a classic.

Adidas for me too.
Nothing flash, just under stated retro looking shoes.
My first pair of decent trainers were Adidas Rom. Wore them to shreds.

Early 90's my mum used to buy me Kingfisher's from a shop on the Strand in Longton. Think they were £10, complete with fake air bubble.

Adidas originals only here
Hamburgs all the way, the fit of them is perfect
Adidas Jeans, look smart but shit fit
Gazelles, preferred them when they were more like pumps than trainers
not really into the whole trainer snobbery thing and limited edition releases etc

Asics for running ... fantastic stability/comfort for your foot, although prob not the best looking
Addidas for casual comfort

Used to be all in on Adidas Originals, not really my bag now so I’ve sold the majority, just a few Forest Hills left to go.
Mainly wear Air Maxes now, the Vapormax Pluses and the Yeezy 350’s I’ve had are by far and away the comfiest trainers I’ve ever owned.

Skechers for me from now into the foreseeable, had a case of Plantar Fascitis last year, bloody uncomfortable, pair of Skechers shoes sorted it so I'm sticking with the brand, no way do I want to go through that again!

I exclusively wear Balenciaga trainers because I have too much money and not one jot of style and as such, like nothing more than looking like some sort of remedial cunt with orthopaedic issues. Who buys this shit? |
