Every year I treat myself to a pair or two of new trainers for my hols, and every year I try to get myself a pair of vintage Adidas ZX250s and fail. I had a pair in the mid-80s, and wore them to the Rovers all the time (with the ubiquitous Farah trousers or Lee jeans with the inner hem seams split - Donny Dressers of the 80s, take note and nod approvingly).
For those who never knew the ZX250, these are the bad boys I had....
(http://www.freshnessmag.com/v4/wp-gallery/dec_06/zx_family_archive/zx250_side.jpg)
Absolute classics in every sense.
This year's search has proved just as fruitless as previous years, except I have stumbled upon what might rank as my ZX250-killers!!!! Nike Pre-Montreal Racer. Proper retro trainers and in virtually identical colours as the classic ZX250.

Ordered them online on Sunday, and they arrived today. Lovely.

I was only a wee lad during the 80's, so can't remember them myself ;)
They look pretty smart though mate :aok:
-
I've got a pair of Nike Eric Koston's, black with a luminous yellow Nike tick and they are ace. 60 odd quid over here and got them in America in January for £25. Love my Nike trainers, still wearing 2 pairs I got on my previous visit to America over 2 years ago.

Like these?

That's them...best trainers I've ever had! For some reason they've got the Nike running Lunarlon sole on them so they are proper comfy too.
-
Adidas Samba's the Volkswagon Camper van of Training shoes!!!!!! Everything else is just pure imitation!!!!
-
Sambas and gazelles for me
-
I agree Sambas are cool but the big flappy tongue is a bit annoying. Also on every pair I've had the stripes have started falling off long before I would consider the lifespan of the shoe to be at an end! Had a pair of suede ones that had one stripe left and half the sole hanging off before I finally gave up and chucked them in the bin.

New balance 574s

Farah slacks with Addias sambas rob lad
-
What about the Adidas Willem Bungert which were black with brown stripes or the Gerd Mullers which were black with black stripes.
-
Nice, Knockers, nice. I had some Adidas Jeans in the mid 80s too, red suede with navy blue stripes. Awesome trainers.
Diadora Papa Borgs anyone?
Oslo, NB are massive in Scandinavia arent they? The trainer of choice amongst lads of a certain disposition, I understand.

Yes rob you seem to be in the loop on that front
-
You can't go wrong with navy Adidas Sambas. The tongue is large, but smart with jeans to t'footy, and not so bad with shorts. I've just bought a pair of the new style Sambas, normal sized tongue and at £57 a great buy, because they are very comfy and I know they'll last.
P.S. How do you add picture like you lot have above?
-
Find the image you want on the web, copy the URL, then paste it into the message but wrap it in {img} at the start and {/img} at the end. (Swap the curly brackets for square ones though)

When will the classic trainers be posted?
-
The adidas re-issues are alright. Stick a pin in a 1970s adidas catalogue and you'd pick a classic pair of sports shoes.
These are alright.

Never really got liked the Adi runners, my favourites from that period were these Nike waffle-sole
(http://www.digitalvintage.com/product_images/u/485/000019__25834.jpg)
And the best tennis shoe I had were these Puma G Vilas

With special mention to the Nike Wimbledon

After that it all went a bit wrong as knockers led me astray and I had a few years of Converse, DMs, and Pony hi-tops.
My trainer of choice these days is the Adidas Spezial - available in loads of colours so you can make sure they match your jacket

-
Puma G Vilas. Yes! (there was a Navratilova version too I remember)
Diadora Borg Elite also.
-
I had the G. Vilas with a pale blue puma sweep thingy on the side. Trying to remember what they were called. I only bought them because some guy in a BMX mag was wearing them.
Oslo, chuck out the NBs fella - you need some of these.....

I've not been wearing trainers much of late but I picked up a pair of these for the summer.
Slim, minimal styling, classic Italian brand. I would've liked them very much back in the 1980s, if I'd known about them.

Forget classic trainers for a moment, these look like the ones in Back To The Future 2 which tighten automatically. I am still waiting for them Nike so hurry up!!
A classic never dies, and I always find myself going back to the trusted Converse sneakers!

Pair of New Balance with a Stone Island tag on the laces?
Yours for only £400 if you can find them. They are taking the piss.

Some div that was never involved in the casual culture will splash out for them thinking they are the dogs b*llocks.
They are fcuking orrible and way off the mark.
If they was just NB then worth a look at,as for sure they would not be 400 sheets

Tracks was called power lies and corruption?

Definitely "Power, Corruption and Lies", Oslo.
Sponsored by some Irish guys, I heard.
-
I like trainers. Can I express that?
-
Most of the previous are for puffs.
Patrick Keegan King, a man's trainer.
-
No, you are wrong Scaley.
Patrick Villan - now they were a proper man's trainer.
-
No, you are wrong scaley
i had not even posted ? Have u had me on your mind rob? lol
-
Apologies scaley, I meant nice one. They both end "rover(s)" so I was bloody close!

No worries mate its always nice to know i have made an impression on someone lol.
I like the addidas ones as previously mentioned above just to keep it on topic
-
No, you are wrong scaley

Love works in many mysterious ways! :)
-
Not classics, yet.
I like these, no branding, no advanced features, just thick real hide and a handstitched sole. Between a trainer and a comfort shoe, they are a bit dear though, so perhaps not.

For me they have a few too many eyelets. No doubt a quality product but at £200 you've got to really want them. I'm not that keen but if they put them in the sale maybe.

Those look like some serious running shoes but I'm. Not sure they are the ideal footwear from the pub to the Keepmoat.

I remember when they couldn't get rid of them on market stalls for £1:50. Now kids are paying big money for them. Mad world.

on the basis of this thread I looked for my favorite all time running trainers and couldn't believe it when I found Hi Tec still made them, so I've ordered them :) I'm sure they are virtually no more expensive than I paid in 1980ish.
I used them for road running, then just as shoes for about 10 years altogether :blink: Hope they are as good as my memory thinks they are :lol: and no I'm not starting running again

I was getting mine from John Lewis as they stock them, but not now too old to be seen in running shoes!
-
My trainer collection at the moment multiples of each:
Converse Hi-Tops, Vans slip ons, Adidas Superstars & Nike Air Max 95
Plus I managed to find white Adidas Campus that I'd not worn since the 90's in Selfridges Brum.

I remember Silver Shadows form the 80s.

I remember there was a fad for Hi Tec Squash at our school for a while. I think it must've been a reaction against expensive adidas and nikes.
I can't find a pic of the old ones, the new flavour look alright actually.

-
Nah, not for me Oslo, too nesh.
I think for me and a lot of my mates, we were all into football, and we saw the whole dressers thing as a cool Northern sub-culture. So we got into the clothes, wore the hair cuts and all that.
Now I'm older, I still like quality clothes but I have to do what I can for the money.

There was a bit of bravado but we weren't looking for anything so we never really had to deal with anything. I suppose we were quite young, mid teens. We were just, copying older lads who were into it. As we got older acid house came along and the vibe changed.
It was like a fashion thing, lots of kids at school were wearing a red and blue berghaus and slinging a red and blue head bag over their shoulder.

They are doing something like a contemporary version of that now from very trendy Engineered Garments of New York. Not for me.

I was considering these because they still make em in Lancashire. Think I'm past wearing brightly coloured running trainers though.

A nice effort from Fred Perry.

Fred Perry: T-shirts, not trainers

Can I have them back now please? You've had them along enough!
These are yours
(http://www.shoppingblog.com/2012pics/jeremy_scott_adidas_originals_fall_2012_teddy_bear_shoes.jpg)
I saw these in the Adidas shop at York Designer Outlet on Saturday. A steal at a mere £32.
-
And you didn't buy me them? Disappointed in you Dave, I thought we were friends.

Psychedelic teddies are getting a bit dated, flaming heels are the way to go.

These are coming out soon, never had any Jordans but really wanted em in the 90's, would look a bit of a bell-end walking round the shops in em now though.

Head Monte Carlo (slung over one shoulder of course).
Yep, everyone had them at school. Had to be careful with the bootbag as some t**t would always try and unzip it and nick it. The trick you could do to avoid was to carry it bag facing forwards and slip the small bootbag handle strap through the D-ring for the long strap (it was carried with the short straps were slung over your shoulder)

They want jazzing up a bit, like.

Looks like something old Spiderman's mate The Lizard would wear.

How about these then, they have a bit of laminate at the back. There might be some marble and stainless steel fittings on the other side. A bargain at £200.
-
Haven't they made the Air McFly with automatic laces as worn in Back to the Future? Nice touch.

They're quality they are Rob :-)
Quite fancy some Puma's but keep getting drawn back to Adidas time and time again...

I hate to say it but I'm starting to think I'm too old for trainers these days. I'm considering these.

Oh no!
I hope I don't live old enough to wear any of those monstrosities.

Natural rubber is the thing. Some might say it's a load of crepe.

Crepe in no good for hot climates. It melts and leaves behind footprints!
Head bags were out before your Poland trip Oslo.
I had a grey one a few years before that.
-
Crepe can be a bit difficult in bad weather too. I went skating down a flight of stairs wearing a pair of Clarks Wallabees in the rain. I broke my arm.
It didn't stop me from being a lover of classic Clarks originals though.

Still very comfortable but now relegated to gardening duties mainly.

Yes they do still make some trainers in the UK but they're an American company. Walsh are still British owned.

I thought Reebok were British

I thought Reebok were British
Started in Bolton in the nineteenth century. They were bought by adidas ten years ago and it's now headquartered in the United States, like most brands they manufacture in places like China. Its very sad that there is little link to the UK anymore, they've even stopped the sponsorship of Bolton Wanderers now. I used to like the little union jack incorporated into the Reebok logotype.
Walsh started out working for Reebok before branching out and setting up his own brand.

This is the latest effort from New Balance Cumbria.

For NB they are shite in my book too Much like a fat pump
NB 574s have allways served me Well and i have had a few tbh
-
They look like trimm trabb (?), but with an nb, rather than 3 stripes.
-
I think they just want to have some kind of retro tennis shoe out.
Running trainers have had a good, er run.
All the brands seem to have rereleased some sort of 80s tennis shoe lately.

Flip Flops? NO!
We had a few days in Eastbourne during the hot weather, very nice but a shingly beach, I was forced to spend two quid on some flip-flops. The worst footwear I have ever had to put up with, how people walk around all day in them, god knows.

They are sketchers flip flops, the very best and comfiest you can get, I daren't tell you how much they cost, but you can't beat comfortable footware
-
If I was forced to wear beach sandals again, I'd consider Adilettes because although they have the flipflop thing of always feeling like they falling off they don't have the toe divider thing and have a much wider strap over instead.

Women don't even consider comfort when choosing footwear, thats why you see so many women carrying their shoes instead of wearing them

Much of women's clothing is designed solely with only consideration given to decoration or artistic form. Often it seems practicality is secondary.
Men's clothing is solidly rooted in military, work and sportswear. Practicality is everything or it should be.
-
Heat hear. Women are there to look pretty for their gentlemen whilst gentlemen need to be functionally prepared to protect their women, hence comfortable sports based products.
Or summat.

So the gentleman can leg it after lamping the bloke who's been chatting his lady up? :laugh:
