One was a white pair of rivalry low. Being white kind of ruined the point of goretex ones imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that this morning. The kids are buying a bot for £20 and then using them to snaffle up all the limited edition trainers so they can flog them for a massive profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is all this shoving of placenames in gold block not just emporor's new clothes syndrome? My lad is a collector of Adidas and reckons the colours used for certain cities mean different things. I reckon it's all just great marketing that changing a shade on the stripes means it's a brand new must-have shoe. The different colours and how they related to a particular city was what first made me really get into the City series - even if some were a bit obscure and based on colours from a coat of arms or an old industry (Rumours these green/gold London shaped trainers Size are doing in limited edition are going to be Liverpool, based on the Tate & Lyle syrup tin...) But when they started releasing London, Hamburg, Malmö etc in loads of colours it was lost. I'm still a sucker for them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Speaking of Goretex... Have anyone else's GTX Stockholm completely failed them? The material inside my grey ones has broken down and now they take on water and stain like fook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of your age mate, but did you live through the era of the Oasis shop in the Manchester underground market ? If not, you would have been in your element, iconic days for Adidas trainer fans.

Don't think City series stuff was as popular as it is now, Dublin and Berlin in the sales bins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
