Dawnrazor Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Adidas are making them again, a real blast from the past, along with Puma Match and Nike Astro, they got me and most of my mates through High School. I might have to treat myself to a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my mum I wanted a pair for Christmas when I was in 2nd year. Woke up on Christmas Day to an Adidas box. Sodding Bambas. The guy in the shop had told her the Kicks were the cheapest of the lot so she decided to be nice to me and get me better ones. The only kid in my school with Bambas, and the ones that year were horrible with a big gummy sole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went through a few pairs of them in my early late primary early secondary yrs. Would love to get an order into Santa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find the link😭 it came up on something earlier but I can't see it, I got myself all excited about it. I'll keep looking, they were doing them in white too.

My all time favourite football boots were a pair of black and white striped Patrick boots that I had about 12, 13 year old I think. I was devastated when they eventually split during a game and couldn't be saved by duct tape. They were like Billy's Boots and replacing them with a non Patrick pair likely scuppered my hopes of turning professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Adidas Kick in primary school before you moved up to high school and onto Samba before Zx , Questar and Torsion took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the lads with Patrick boots at my school were good footballers playing for the good boy’s clubs at the weekend. I always had Puma boots amongst a sea of Adidas and the (literally) poor sods with Winfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outgrew my Hummel Mexicans (white boots), I was a trailblazer. Replaced them with Adidas Beckenbaurs, missed an open goal first game (I actually missed the ball). went home with blisters on my ankles, career never recovered, 11 yo.

periodictabledancer Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Kicks are nice - but still the poor man's Gazelle. Just bought a nice new pair of Gazelle for the Euros trip next summer. Also looked at some retro Gola stuff in black/maroon but decided against it. Need to get back in the gymn now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjack Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I preferred adidas kicks to sambas, gazelles etc. Definitely buying a pair or 2 of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibbers Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 My first pair of Adidas were Kicks in the 70s. Definitely looked on as the poor man’s Sambas and that was in Muirhouse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then graduated to bamba with the gum sole, a far superior shoe IMO, and the best looking of the samba bamba mamba range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Kicks were out there were no Gazelles in the UK.Your choice was Kicks , Samba , Mamba , Bamba , Nike Division and Puma Match/Silver Dalglish. Basically your trainers were black 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
