Trainers of choice

That bloke in the army navy shop in town must sell a couple of hundred of pairs of those plimsoles every week, every cunt and his dog have got a pair!

Decided to email adidas just now, more or less copy/pasting my post above. Got this reply about two mins later:

She either doesn't know, doesn't care, or both.

Still cant be my Adidas Stan Smiths love em

Yes, Yes and Yes

them seven quid plimsolls are good like, ive went throught 20 or so pairs in the last year and a bit. they look a lot smarter than stan smiths or nike court traditions for clubbing in, and are a lot more dispensable.

and yes dandava the two army suplus shops in town must make a fucking killing off them, everytime i go in to the one on clayton street hes fresh outta packs of size nines, and the one next to the firestation always tells me that ive got the last pair haha. its daft really like because ive got 30-40 pairs of trainers, yet wear seven pound army sandshoes more than any of the others

She was helpful!!!

Has anyone tried to run in them army plimsoles? or even worse, play footy in them. ahhh ya!

Those plimsoles are absolutely shit

I love that they are trendy yet when you were at school, you would have got monster slaps in the changing rooms if you wore them to PE

same goes for Gola and Dunlops....after all the ribbings we gave people for wearing them , i would lose any self respect i might have had if i bought a pair of them

Totally!

I got griefed to fuck for wearing a pair of puma trainers at school.

Im with Si and Oasis...Plimsoles....nee chance.

I wear them.

you mean 'penny blacks' or whatever they were called? you'd rip bit of the rubber off to chuck at your mates

gola was a sin, dunlop too - even hi-tec were a crime - addidas, nike or reebok - or pony

hi-tec, gola, bull boy, la gear, british knights, troop, converse, and anything with velcro were all punishable by death in mortimer like.

nowadays if its not a hiking brand/bought from blacks/ld/tiso its not worth knowing.

bull boys

hahahha aaaaaaaaaye a 'football', it was a fucking pennyfloater that went straight over someones back garden as soon as a slight breeze picked up, never to be seen again

adidas, nike or reebok were all you were ALLOWED to wear in our school.

Blatant copy and paste i-don't-give-a-shit reply imo.

cos you could get reebok classics 2 for £35 from royal quays they were the lowest form of acceptible footwear in our school, it was always the air max triax, bw classics or tailwinds....even 95'-97's were looked down upon.



then came the rockport/lacoste battle of the 'smart' shoes. was either them or base loafers.


christ kids have it hard

I never used to pay more than £60. Well me mam would refuse to pay anything more than that. Me mates used to wear like £100 trainers and that. Oh how cool!

ive never spent more than £70 on a pair of trainers and im glad.
