Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Everyone has had a couple of pairs that are unavailable now that they would to be able to buy again... Times change and so do trends but some transcend the sands of time, what were your best moments in gutty... Early doors when I was a nipper it was Air Max, Reebok Pump and Air Jordan, then there was the honkin LA Gear/British Knights/ skater-boy nonsense days and somewherein amongst there, there was bound to bo one spoilt wee laddie from school who had a pair of 100 odd bucks nike Air 180s... In the late nineties there was also a brief trend for weird leather Diesel trainies which were both hit and miss... but we moved on and eventually less bacame more again with the revival of the simple Adidas and Nike canvas/leather/swead trainers and things were right again in the universe. Here are some of my faves over the decades... Jordan phase... as a kid... Mid nineties... Back to Nike around the same time... these were smart but fell apart too easily...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 He has a point. Those trainers were used to take the bairn for walk in the pram. Right... We have successfully concluded that my dearly departed checked shell-toes are not a huge hit outside chavvy chippies and Mothy towers but, the point in the thread was to relive some past trainer trends, what were your highs and lows.

Angry Haggis Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Never had a pair of Samba...gazelle, campus, shelltoe and the afore-mentioned Stan Smiths. Not keen on Sambas personally. As a primary school nipper in the mid-eighties there were a few pairs of gutties that stick out in memory: Adidas Kicks (Black Leather, white Addidas stripes, gum sole..I think) Puma Match (Black Leather, white Puma stripe, gum soles...similar to a Puma King footy boot I suppose but in trainers! Fell to bits easy as) Nike Division (Black Leather, White Nike stripe...almost an 80's indoor football trainer if you like) Nike Firestrike (Similar to the Nike Division but the stripe was either luminous yellow or luminous orange..with big NIKE lettering on the heels - these were the dogs dangles) Cant be bothered Google imaging the above soles...but these are the ones that have a place in my heart as a mid 80's kid!

Ribble Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Favourite ever trainers were a pair of black addidas kaisers with light blue stripes! Can only get the horrible brown or black and white versions now Always liked Stan Smiths looks wise but they always gave me blisters on my heel for some reason!

I'd have been about 10. I remember it was such a big deal I eventually got nike airs. I think I'd been at a scout camp or something and my trainers had been wrecked in the water when canoeing, my bro had had a terrible asthma attack and so my mum took me and my brother up the town to get new trainers and we both got nike airs. Remember being ridiculously chuffed and fairly confident I'd be getting the BURSD at school the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
