Right then I am after some green and yellow trimm stars...anybody help me? Or maybe some trimm trabbs

 

Oh yeah and if they were cheap that would help also....

Anyone else get a voucher code off adidas the other day? Couldn't turn down 30% off. Would appreciate any tips for some white leather originals for my hols (thinly veiled) so the sun doesn't wreck the suede on my Gazelles.

 

In a white leather trainer, these shout 'holidays' to me (hello ducky)...Just looking at them makes me want to chuck a patio chair across a piazza or placa.

 

 

£34.99 plus £4.99 postage here on Ebay, only in 11 though.

As an aside, why are adidas trainers so cheap (well, cheaper) all of a sudden? They're devaluing the brand, the next stop for them is that they'll be aquired by Ashley and he'll be sticking the three stripes on some 'Lonsdale' pumps he couldn't flog...

You can get World Cup kick 'Zaire' in green and yellow, rare as the proverbial rocking horse shit - TK Maxx of all places was selling them off, boxless, around seven or so years ago, if anyone who collects saw them in here, they would've bought them up and stored them away...

 

 

A bit snazzy for my liking, I preferred the Kick Espana...There's another trainer you hardly see, a pair are going on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/adidas-kick-trainers-espania-82-deadstock-collectable-/161281227992?pt=UK_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item258d1c3cd8 but they've seen better days and I wouldn't wear someone else's trainers`(unless they'd only worn 'em once or twice, and they passed the UV light test ).

Just got these.

 

Apart from coming with 3 miles of laces they look the bees knees.

You should get yourself some of these Youri....

 

Due some new trainers.. but the LA TRAINERS i bought last time just dont seem to last..

 

I was offered a part in a short film about a gangster...  Pay was £500 for a nights work..

 

Got the script and it involved running down down alleys, not showing faces and cornering someone.. then making them kiss my shoes...

 

I decided wasnt really for me that that point...

or 

 

are only £45 a pair at http://www.soletraderoutlet.co.uk/Men/adidas/PriceASC/56/S/C/brand/SO/pgs 

 

Ideal for jollibobs

Not keen on Neo's, might as well get some Dragons for another tenner. My Court Stars are on the way out sadly, did the job perfectly when it was pissing down over the winter.

I'll do it.

I hope you're joking?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I could never wear Nike trainers - I like the leopard print though it screams out 'Watch how butch I am jumping this puddle'...

True but white trainers never do.

 

My current crop of trainers is quite plain for me.

 

Loudest ive got is these fellas

 

These are my favourite 'white trainers you could only wear for about five minutes before they got a mark on them and looked scruffy/shit'...adidas Nastase.

are they a similar vintage to atps?

 

i loved them  and hoped for a reissue but apparently it won't happen cops adidas can't use atp due to licencing issues

 

there were some very similar a couple of years back, mind

 

main difference i can see is that atps had holes in the toe bit

Five minutes later...

 

 

Shite.

this is an atp

 

I know they had some in that 'Ran' shop St Ann's Arcade in Manchester - around eight years ago...

 

And that's the limit of my knowledge.

 

I do know the ones I like were in lightweight mesh/nylon (like the knackered ones) - I think the pictured (new) ones are leather.

the pictured ones are leather

 

they were new in about 1980!

puma vilas was the other shoe of choice back then

I had a pair of Puma G Vilas as a kid.

 

They were for wearing at our (school's) holy communion thing - I really wanted all-black 'kick' with a gum sole, but my dad sent the buggers back...

Nastase's are back at Size

Ended up with a pair of these

and one of those new Stan Smith tee shirts

adidas starsky? I'm sure they've changed the sole (and that I've had this conversation on here with someone else, before), the Nastase, opposite to this, seem to have reverted back to the original 70s design.

 

I like the reissue/modified ones from about nine years ago with the caricature of Illie on the tongue.

 

I bought some SL-72 from Germany around nine years ago, and they sent me black and white ones instead of blue, I didn't send the buggers back though.

 

Only started wearing them recently, I used to think the made me look like Fred Astaire before...What's changed since I dunno.

I bought some green and yellow Spezials last year for my holidays, the girl I went with made me take them off and said they were 'horrific' Needless to say my green and yellow Spezials are coming on holiday with me this year and she is not

 

Don't fuck with the wongs
