adidas trainers

[Part 2]

I tried on several pairs of Adidas yesterday. Came to the conclusion they're all just too narrow for my feet.

I tried on several pairs of Adidas yesterday. Came to the conclusion they're all just too narrow for my feet.

I don't really get on with them either. They're always too small. Have had a couple of pairs over the year and they seem to last better than Nike Air Max but they never look as good.

I do like some of the classic Adidas designs but some of the newer ones are just as garishly rank as the newer Air Max ones can be.

 

[Part 2]

Actually I ended up buying some cheap Gazelles, just for old times sake. Proper fancying some Air Max 90s as it happens, most comfy trainers I ever owned.

Although I really like these...

 

[Geoffrey]

I have lots of trainers.... favourites being...

Asics Gel Lyte iii
Asics Gel Lyte V
Asics Gel Epirus
Asics GT-ii
Nike Air Max 1
Nike Air Max 97
Clae Russell
Alife Court Cup

I guess most people have a fetish for or an interest in some kind of clothing/footwear. My neighbour loves those birkenstock sandles, got quite a few pairs, they all look kind of the same to me!

Got some holiday daps. Particularly like the wee ghosties on the sole and that there's no stripes on the inside of the things

holy fuck

Superstar 80s City series

deffo gonna ask for a pair (whichever) for Christmas

 

[twentythreedom]

Want!

 

[Sweet FA]

 

[Steel Icarus]

Want!

They're each a specific city, and each have an iconic building on the heel. The black ones (New York) are the nicest IMO but I've often had black adidas, so the blue (Paris) would be next choice

[Steel Icarus]

Challenge accepted etc...after I've had me tea

 

[Blagsta]

It's only a modest collection. Mid life crisis

 

[Blagsta]

My folks would never buy me cool trainers when I was a kid

 

[Steel Icarus]

Shit pic, too dark, but anyway Blagsta

 

[Blagsta]

You win

 

[Steel Icarus]

I bet there's a few peeps on here far more into Imelda Marcos territory than me, even limited to just adidas daps.

What are the Barnet ones like

 

[twentythreedom]

My Ltd edition Sambas are too special to wear daily and my current superstars need replacing

(I'm a Nike fiend too - 95s and 98s mainly )

 

[kage]

My favourite ever ones were Adidas Originals Paris from about 11 years ago

Sadly I haven't ever been able to source them again for love nor money.

 

[wtfftw]

Want so much that I should find the want by can't haz thread.

 

[baffled]

Currently have these

And have got these being delivered this week

 

[Part 2]

These are what the avid collector is queuing for this week...

I got some for my birthday. They're blue (I think that blue you've used for the tongue actually) with pink stripes - Dulwich Hamlet colours.

Niiiiice. Argentina blue, that one. Obviously you can make some properly garish combinations but also some smart ones that you would be unlikely to see on the shelves.
