[GroovYF]

Addict/Vans Era : those things are absolutey awful (imo of course)

[Jamey]

Aye. Pumps are surprisingly comfy.

And I'm breaking in these (http://www.jameyhoward.com/sneaks/viewgallery.php?id=76) today. Bout time. I've only had them sitting in the box since 13th August :)

Top left = Nice

Top centre = Nice

Top right = I spose ..

Bottom left = Wouldn't be seen dead in them in a thousand years. It's like grandad slippers mixed with kilt leftovers mixed with shitenes.

Bottom centre = I thought you shopped for labels? Did you honestly goto the circus expecting to find something good? Are you a clown on the weekends?

Bottom right = They're doable but not a first choice.

[D33]

Bottom left is growing on me which is scaring me immesnsly.

This is a "post pics of yours" thread. Not "quote pics of theirs and pass judgement".

Let's create a rule, no judgement passing unless you've posted pics of yours first.

I'm too old for this thread, can't get the zimmer frame in toy shoes...

Actually it's a forum used for discussion of multiple subjects with freedom to make posts related to the subject of the thread said posts have been made in.

I have one pair of trainers. They're grey with hints of red, they have a black oil stain on the front of the right one and by god they the hum somewhat.

Shall post pics when I get home!

They rule !

That's the spirit.

pull out the plasters and tubigrip

[Inertiaman]

http://www.sport-e.com/images/products/mag/of/of441v56m.jpg

My Mostros rock me. The soles are quite thin, climbing stylee and I love the way that you can feel a faint shape of whatever you're walking on/over. Mine are grey rather than the colour in that pic.

[Jamey]

Got three pairs of Mostros and I've finally managed to overcome the painful heel rubbing experience by wearing plasters on my heel.

Nersh - grey and what? Are they like my grey ones (http://www.jameyhoward.com/sneaks/viewgallery.php?id=29)?

[Inertiaman]

I've never suffered. Although I have to wear steelies for onsite work sometimes and I've never had a pair of cat boots that didn't chafe on the inside of my left heel. Just the left mind, the right foot sits there smugly mocking the other.

[Jamey]

Yeah it's just me with the mostro/pain thing. Everyone else says they'r fine. I really can't understand it. They're the right size and everything.

Anyway now, thanks to the discovery of sticking plasters, I can wear them for a few hours, as opposed to a few minutes.

[Sonic Samurai]

meh. got four pairs of shoes/footwear; a smelly old pair of £15 trainers from tesco, beige looking and very comfy, with collapsed heels. a pair of black shoes with a silver buckly thing, which I only wear with a suit, which I only wear twice a year plus for weddings and funerals. a pair of berghaus approach/low level boots, very comfortable and about eight years old. a pair of hi-tec magnum patrol boots, handworked leather exterior, very comfy for field work and bull up nice for parade square too.

[Q-Target]

# Let's all go to Tesco, where Sonic buys his best clothes...la da da! la da da!

Heh...I'm sat here at work in a pair of ASDA George jeans so I'll shut up now :D

[Sonic Samurai]

# Let's all go to Tesco, where Sonic buys his best clothes...la da da! la da da!

Heh...I'm sat here at work in a pair of ASDA George jeans so I'll shut up now :D

hey, I',m no cheapskate, I'll spend money where it's worthwhile (my approach boots were nearly £100 and my patrol boots were £70) but I ain't spending 20 bucks on a pair of sweaty trainers whose sole purpose in life is to get me to work and back in the pissing rain on a pushbike.

[Inertiaman]

Don't buy sweaty trainers. Get new ones.

[Sonic Samurai]

hmm, there's an idea ...

:roll:

[T-Bag]

man my current and only pair of trainers are about 5 years old!

I hate having more than 1 pair as I can't decide when to wear what.

[[!$$ueS]]

I would photo mine if i had a camera. i have a pair of Converse all stars which you can see in the links thread. A pair of adidas LA trainers in blue, some Duff skater shoes which are pretty old, some fashion shoes from next i think, and some smartish shoes from a random shop in greenock.

[Valheru_-]

These are the last 2 pairs of trainers I brought last october (yup i havent brought anymore for a whole year which is an accoplishment for me).

http://www.nicholasthompson.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pumps.jpg

Dunno why i got the blue air force 1s (I guess because they were cheap) And i wont be wearing the bruin max to next summer as they are suede.

This is my collection from last time that there was in the last trainer thread.

http://www.nicholasthompson.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DSC00820.JPG

Been looking into getting some more bruin max and maybe another pair of dunk lows. But its not looking likely as im strapped for cash atm.[/img]

[the funkmaster]

I've got a friend who has furry moonboots. Furry moonboots > fancy sneakers.

[blurr]

nice collection you have there Valheru

I think my next pair will be a pair of Forest Hills. Not cheap though, £69.99, but they are pretty exclusive.

http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/images/product/3404731920_exlg.jpg

maybe with a red trim though, not sure :)

Ok, these are the trainers I've had for coming on five years plus and still wear as my shoe of choice.

Taken with my mobile so excuse quality.
Colour adjust a little too as very yellow originally.

^ The trainers, in all their glory. A comfortable mixture of colours, they don't draw attention and they have a little bit of design that has gone into them.

Knowing trainer brands ( they're trainers! they don't need brands! they're just shoes! ) is kinda chavish which is ironic cause I know how much Blurr hates chavs ;)

[Sonic Samurai]

oh oh oh oh oh - I've got this WICKED pair of trainers. My dad gave em to me last time I was in hospital. I wore them once to work and it was really funny, because all the cars were swerving miles away from me. The'yre luminous green, the most revolting colour you've ever seen in a shoe. Wanna see?

[J^MES]

please

[[!$$ueS]]

Yes please!

[Sonic Samurai]

heh ok - one sec

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/elrond/daps.jpg

My dad stopped wearing them because "he didn't like them". I wanna know how the hell he bought them in the first place. Aren't they GREAT?

[D33]

I'm going to throw up

[blurr]

nice...

[Dogma]

I once had a pair of illuminus orange Adidas Falcons.
They were the comfyest shoes i've ever had!

[Invis]

they are really ugly elrond..
anyone seen the nike shocks out? *puke*

[Jay77]

I had a pair of Addidas Torsions in that green

[Sonic Samurai]

yeah, they're pretty revolting.

[blurr]

lol nike shox, best ones are the ones which go all the way round

[tinx]

its all the scals who wear shocks around by me, they are quite comfy though, tryed a pair on today in work to see how they felt, shame they are ugly

[Invis]

ewww tinx, they are all shocking!

[Jay77]

I like those Etnies Tinx

[blurr]

i quite like a pair of nike revolutionz, everyone nowadays seem to be wearing nike dunks :/

tinx how long have you had your vans? I can't see my addict/vans lasting too long, I've already scruffed up the front of it.

[Invis]

the yellow and blue nike dunks are next on my list! they are v.nice

[tinx]

Jay77 - the blue ones? Got them in the states, and they were limited edition. Also came with yellow laces.

blurr - I've had the black and white ones for 2 years, the red and black for about 3 months.

[blurr]

wow they've lasted you that long! :D impressive, perhaps I really do wear down my trainers.... must alternate a bit more :)

[tinx]

Well I wore them a LOT, and got them soaked through a lot too but they are lasting! I wore em' today even :)

[blurr]

on your converse, has your rubber side bits on the sole split at all, near where your foot bends, mine has :/ I've only had them for 10months...

[tinx]

Yeah, even my white ones. They're only 3 months old. Don't mind though, they're well comfy.

[K_a_n_e]

i dont wear trainers really, apart from the crappy adidas LA trainers i go out running in.

but my newest shoes are these..

Just been looking on the adidas website, and i really like the 'Trimm Trab' shoes, there isn't really any pictures that are any good on their website for them :(

I like the black ones the best. Buying new £6.50 trainers tomorrow, will show as soon as I get back :D

[[!$$ueS]]

I have to say the blue ones really float my boat, but i don't have any suitable trousers to go with them.

[cuthbert]

I'd go for the black ones, if I had the money of course :{

[Jamey]

]I have to say the blue ones really float my boat, but i don't have any suitable trousers to go with them.

There's a good article about matching stuff on Crooked Tongues (dot com). Basically it advocates the idea that it doesn't have to be the whole garment that matches. Just do it with accessories or something subtle.

Like, my new trainers I'm wearing today (pic above). I don't have a yellow T-shirt that matches the stripes properly so I plumped for a black shirt with a yellow wristband. But If I'd had a yellow lanyard (or keychain, whatever you call those fabric things) I would've prolly just left that dangling out my pocket or something.

Another good tip is wearing a coloured tee underneath a shirt or underneath another tee to get the colour match without being OTT. Cos even if I did have a yellow tee that matched these kicks it'd still be a yellow tee, which is kinda bright.

As long as you've got a bit of the same colour somewhere on your body, it should look ok (subject to common sense). It's better to have a tee which has a small amount of the same colour that matches almost perfectly than one where the whole thing is a similar colour but not quite right. IMO, anyway.

Another thing which is IMO but other people seem to do as well is to match sneaks with tees, rather than trousers. Cos most ppl wear jeans and denim's regarded as a neutral colour nowadays.

[cuthbert]

wot on earth would make u want to buy them

tah,
Kane.

[the funkmaster]

Aha, but did you spot the deliberate mistake?

One of those is a right foot.

My evil joke, smashed to pieces! I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that sneaky little fingerz.

[tinx]

Heh, nice collection fingerz mate. Mine pales in comparison to that. They all look new too, it takes a while for me to save up for a new pair - or at least to think of an excuse to give my mum:P

The BBC pay their staff too much, these days.

[Jamey]

The trick to keeping them looking new is rotation.

Rotation rotation rotation. I might make a TV show about it. Just don't hammer your favourite pair into the ground. Try to wear your best pair as little as poss so they stay looking nice for years rather than months.

And J^mes - I assume you mean the yellow Dunk Hi-tops with the navy swoosh, yeah? The "Michigan Dunks" as they're called. They're widely regarded as one of the best colourways of Dunk to be re-released for years. I know people who don't even like Dunks who went out and bought those.

Kane - It's an ongoing debate among sneaker collectors. There are people who just buy them and keep them in the box, or on display but I detest that. Buy them to wear them. I don't see the point in never wearing them.

[Jay77]

I had a nice set of Prestos that someone nicked off my balconey on holiday in Kos

That had the zip up with air-tex type front

[Jamey]

Prestos are sooo comfy. Mmmm.

I had a pair for P.E when i first started Senior school. I bought them for about £20 when they were "uncool" and we had to wear them cos they wouldnt mark our sports hall. Wore them about once, and put them in the loft.

With no disrespect meant, I find the whole fad of collecting and near worshipping different brands of trainers rather chavish. What's next? Tracksuits ?

[spl@t]

http://www.fly-clothing.co.uk/images/uploads/1098832383_3.jpg

got my g/f this earlier today :D

yes its tweed!

There was a documentary on these about 2 weeks back. Nike got in touch with one of the remaining tweed weavers on one of the islands around Scotland, they had never heard of nike. Got them to make up a sample of 2 meters, then 4 meters then something like 1500 meters which they just could not comprehend and had never had to make anything like this quantity before. Anyway turns out Nike got the order wrong and missed a zero and actually meant 15000 meters, quite a big order for a factory manned by about 4 people. There were talks going on between the weavers and some other brand. The material got shipped off to one of their child labour plants where ever they are located these days.

Quite like them myself and I'm not a fan of Nike

[Jamey]

With no disrespect meant..,

You know when people say "I'm not racist, but..." and then go on to say something blatanty racist?

[D33]

You know when oversensative people hear something that's not actually racist but decide to call it that anyway, helping to lead to an over-pc nation ?

Like, "I'm not racist but I can't understand the Indian accents of the agents in the outsourced callcenter you have in Bangalore." ( very racist there )

[D33]

More to the point though, I just think it's funny how one one hand some of you go "omg, chavs suck!" and on the other hand, admire things like trainer shopping and buying.

It amuses me, that's all.

[blurr]

I think you find chav's hardly know much about nikes or trainers themselves, anyway, chavs wear nike shox and nike sports wear, which can be bought at virtually every sports chav store like sports soccer and jd sports. Of which are very different from nike heritage range which are sold in more expensive clothing stores, like www.hanon-shop.com and like the one I work in (dogfish), the stuff we sell are hardly townie and sit next to Carhartt and 55Dsl which are skating/surfing brands. Even in our girls store (catfish) nike is sold right opposite a vivienne westwood collection.

Just because we have an interest in clothing and fashion in general, doesn't make us chavs. Infact it distance ourselves from them. At least we don't walk around with caps tilted up, tracky bottoms tucked into our socks and walking like monkeys, spitting every few seconds.

And chavs seem to ruin every respectable brand possible... to think burberry use to be worn by someone like Audrey Hepburn and to think Hackett use to make decent suits and even Kappa use to make some quite kitsch tracksuits.

[D33]

Fair enough comment :)

Cleared it up

[Jamey]

^^ What blurr said.

Both Nike & Adidas have new and retro stuff and it's mostly the retro that interests me.

And chavs do wear Nike shox, the knobs.

[blurr]

but to be fair to chavs

Nike shox do cost quite a bit, £120 for a pair :/

*wonders how many weeks of dole money they saved up to buy a pair*

[Jamey]

Don't be stupid, they stick people for 'em.

[Dogma]

Or they just nick them off other people.

I used to like my Burberry hat (this is about 2-3 years ago) when i bought one out of some money i was given.
Now, with the current situation, i havent worn it in about a year :(

[spl@t]

Carhartt and 55Dsl which are skating/surfing brands

Didn't think Carhartt had anything to do with skating/surfing brands thought it was, for lack of a better word "workwear".

[blurr]

american carhartt yes.

european/german no. its more streetwear :)

[Jamey]

Yeah the US and Euro/German Carhartts couldn't be much more different. They might as well be separate companies. And for all I know, they probably are.

Another example of something that started off as a cheap way of dressing in the hood becoming fashionably expensive.

/me strokes £155 Carhartt jacket and looks up hypocrisy in the dictionary

[blurr]

ripped off there mate, £138 here ;)

seriously gotta get you to come down here and DJ, you'll probably get at least 10% discount off the gear in the shop at the end of the day as well and £40 richer in your pocket! for 5hrs work :D

I got them from www.katesskates.co.uk , very prompt delievery too which was nice, £34.99 I think they were with free delivery throughout UK.

[blurr]

and heres (http://www.kateskates.co.uk/shop.asp?StrDeptID=-180175617&page=Skateboarding) the one you wanted issues!

[cuthbert]

Blurr, have you got a pair of them Forest Hills yet ?

any sites you advise to get them from ?

[blurr]

they're rather exclusive and from what a friend tells me (who works at schuh) they're very footballer like :/ ala von dutch, old glory etc. which is ashame cause I love em

they were £70 from schuh and like I said are exclusive to certain stores (schuh online webby don't even stock it) and the one near me has sold out... but!

I have found it here (http://www.trainerstation.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=224&osCsid=177936bdf3 b7eebd0615e1540e13baf1) £59 inc vat

I'm very, very tempted. Its that or a pair of headphones :P

[cuthbert]

Thats the place I found too but wasn't too keen on the green :(

Go with the trainers or never show your face in this thread again! ;p

thnx btw

[blurr]

I prefer the yellow... nevermind!

think I may just get another pair of vans slip ons... perhaps another pair of addicts (but in slip on form) or the comic ones...

[cuthbert]

yeh, the yellow ones were the ones I was after too, I'll let you know if I have any luck finding some

[cuthbert]

just ordered myself some new forest hills so that means no more looking like a tramp

Hwoarf

I had to steady myself then. Shox aint my cuppa tea (my sister brought me a pair i have worn them a few times but cant doit any more even to the gym) but those ones with the shox all underneath are hideous.

On fridays at work its casual dress day and this one geezer wears his shoes to work and when he gets to work he puts on his shox(the same ones in above picture) and then when the days over he puts them back in his bag and puts his shoes on to go home in. Me and my mates find it quite funny.

[tinx]

HAha kids used to do that at school!

[Murasame]

they make you bounce lol! My brother says its looks like i stepped in a massive wad of chewing gum
