the general Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Love a good pair of trainers me. Opted for the JKB classic and got some maroon gazelles when I spotted them a couple of months ago. That'll do. Those D&C efforts, though Thinking about getting some Converse, or Vans as my next choice. I bought a pair of the maroon gazelle indoorsplus a couple of pairs of the Adidas / Bathing Ape colabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I just picked up a pair of Jordan 3 infareds. Nice. Fives have always been my favourites, but anything up to the sevens is quality. All easy to sell on too - just sold a pair of well used fives, unboxed for ?70, the same price I paid for them. Not really buying much other than Cons, Vans, Jack Purcell, Superga etc these days. Still got a few pairs of AM1s, 180s, dunks etc though which get worn occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticJambo Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 These are the last trainers I bought. Surely a wind-up. Didn't the Spice Girls wear shoes like those. Still wear these for scuffing around outside the house (bought about 15yrs back) ... slight deviation from the usual Nastases and Stan Smiths I've always had kicking around for years. They hold up well if you don't wear them in 80 degree heat. However, must say I much prefer running shoes these days, if I'm going the 'trainer' route Otherwise it's the brown or light tan wallabies/desert boots. Sneaker Culture ... I was reading an article in one of the papers recently ... below are a couple of links (couldn't find the more recent article about celeb sneaker designers ... basically on MTV cribs, all those shoes you see are virtually only used once as you can't have Jay-Z with a scuff on his air force ones or Bjork with a meshed running shoe full of dust.

This was a big problem I found with a lot of shoes I looked at today. Maybe I've just got too old for trainers or wasn't in the right frame of mind for shopping today, but the shite on display in Office etc was brutal. Luminous pink and strange design flaws as far as the eye can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminous pink and strange design flaws as far as the eye can see. I'm with you there Tommy. The Blue New Balance posted by TPC that CW rates highest would be fine if they didn't have that gimmicky wee gold/brass thingy on the front. In most cases there is always something that ****s up a good pair of trainers. The NBs I posted back up there ... I checked almost every possible place in Ottawa and finally ended up with those ... the pic doesn't really do them justice ... they're more 'sleek'. Shopping is a nightmare, even for stuff I don't mind shopping for, like trainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come with a lower profile, and it's not that tall a sole, it just wraps over the toe. Strange time to have a pop at my sporting prowess. Not that I have any.

You've almost sold me on them with that oblique angled shot. They do look better. I'm not sold on the colour however but then again I'm struggling to think of a colour that would work in all honesty. Perhaps a navy or light green or tan might work. I just 'saw' you in gym plimsolls and short cotton shorts ... is that a bit creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 These are the last trainers I bought. Used to really like Air and Air Max trainers but now they look more like the prescription shoes that kids with a dodgy foot used to get. Their Air Max golf shoes are particularly horrific.

The People's Chimp Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 The AM1 photo Cosa used was probably not the most flattering. They're still an all time classic (colourway dependent) but allegedly Nike are using different lasts depending on country of origin of each particular colourway so some of them can seem a bit boxy.
