The People's Chimp Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Adidas trainers. A fine breed, history, style. But what are your favourites? "My adidas" For me, i reckon my forest hills, purchased on the morning of 01.04.06, in preparation. They've sadly gone missing, but a treasured pair; yellow soles, gold stripes. Currently got a pair of these, but with velcro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Dave Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Got to agree with you. I had those ones with the gold stripes. Got a similar pair on just now but with white stripes and the yellow trim/sole. Had them with red stripes too. Also just purchased the same ones with a brown trim/sole. Maybe I'm just being boring but they are defo my favourite Adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knoxyjambo Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Blue suede adidas campus (Blue tongue, nae white, with gold writing) Went through a spell where they were the only trainers I had for years, they seem to have changed the style of them now and ruined them, rubbish! They seem to *** about with trainers too much these days, I prefer a classic look. Got a pair of Marathon '88 trainers with the Black, red & yellow 3 stripes on them to symbolise the Berlin Olympics, **** love them! I remember I seen a pair of adidas that were maroon (or as near to maroon as your going to get) with white stripes once, wish I'd asked the guy were he got them, looked about for them but nae joy, there's a few pair on the likes of trainerstation that are similar but not as good as the ones I seen, they would be the ultimate in trainerage if I could ever find them.

Nelly Terraces Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Old school Gazelles for me, every time. Style never goes out of fashion. Though the new Londons and Stockholms look the nuts. Cheers. TJ. One Step Beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Tucker Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 My favourite was definitely these badboys, the Martial Arts range. Really comfy and looked good considering they weren't really 'trainers' as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 My favourite pair of Adidas changes on a daily basis. But i'm trying to track down a pair of red Jeans at the moment. Without much luck so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a pair of Spezials in those colourways. It's a difficult question. Trimm Trab or ZX500 maybe. Changes all the time though. Would have loved SL80's, never managed to get them.

inspector Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Whatever happened to adidas sambas - bought my first pair in 76 and lasted for years. Best ever. Comfy, stylish and the shoe for the 70's. Did the suction grips ever work? I've still got mine . Heel-taps included. Said to play havoc with your achilles tendons apparently.

Gershwin Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 My favourite are the ones I've worn into the ground - but refuse to chuck out as I can't find them anywhere. Cannae mind what they are but they are in the tennis range. Infact can anyone help? White with blue stripes. Blue inside and they have the wee pattern of holes on the toe and a strip of grey suede around the front. Just bought a pair of blue and yellow zx's in Chicago. And a pair of retro sweat bands (even though I don't wear sweat bands!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
