Virtually all the trainers I buy these days are Adidas re-releases. Favourite pair - Adidas New York. Least favourite-none. Used to love my black Chile 62’s but tatty so used for gardening now 😮 I've worn these for the last 12 years and only on my second pair - they last for ages. They don't make them anymore though so it looks like the Rom is the closest thing when my current pair die.

All I can add to this thread is that anyone I see wearing yeezees is automatically labelled as a complete nobber.

Ive got some air max alpha 5s too. comfy and nice with shorts or tracky ive also had to get some of those blue or black with white gum sole shoe type trainers for work. M&S do the job

M&S do the job Haha funny thing is I've bought two pairs of ZX750s this year from JD sports belgium as you can't get them anywhere else. Other than that it's the same blue Gazelle style. Always wanted air max 90s but I have wide feet so i don't think they'd last long. Same for Stan smiths. Same as you, I feel young, but want comfy footwear. Fuck it, I'm gonna get some maxes this week. You only live once.

Didn't go woven either. Seem too delicate to me. Also came out a little later than the originals, as well as a whole host of different colour combos. I've gone navy blue and black but may get others in the near future.

Nice. I also have the grey sambas with black stripes. Adidas really is the best go to for casual trainers.

I bought a pair of Onitsuka Tigers Limited Edition "Kabuki" from Sapporo. They are actually Made in Japan which apparently is unusual... even for OT's sold in Japan. I have only worn them twice so was thinking about selling but no idea how to go about it.

Not sure on selling but I'd never buy second hand shoes myself. eBay or FB marketplace if you want to sell.

I think I paid £200 for mine in Sapporo, Japan. They are Limited Edition but not sure what makes them Limited. They were on offer because not many people in Japan wear a size 45/46 (UK 10.5 I think). I think mine are slightly different to the Kubuki Mexico ones but it's so long since I wore them I forget the details. I have a couple more pairs of OT's but can't be arsed doing up the laces. My wife has a pair with a specially collapsible heel so you can where them as mules (is that the right term?). My wife is Asian and even lazier than me when it comes to wearing shoes etc. For the last 4 years, 90% of the time my feet are in Merrill Blaze hiking sandals. Super comfy and I can get away with wearing them in the office. So comfy, that I bought a couple more pairs for when they inevitably get discontinued (which happened some time in 2020 I think).

I’ve always had trainers from a company called Oliver Sweeney, little more expensive than the norm but they’re head and shoulders above the mass produced brands, with looks and most importantly comfort.
Just had a new pair in fact and they fit like a like a glove, calf leather interior, extremely good.
