Evening All

Just joined and enjoying the wii wi-fi - censored I forgot how good super mario world is. Anyone here also into retro/vintage trainers?
Adidas City seres/ZX series/Indoor series all day long for me

I loved my Adidas Option RL I had when I was at school, till I nearly broke my ankle playing footie in them.

Frigging hell, they were big trainers.

I had an old pair of Pumas that I really liked and I want a new pair. No idea what the type was though. Is there somewhere that catalogues these things that can be browsed?

Oh, the humiliation of wearing Dunlop Green Flash when your mates had Nike...

I always used Reebok. Every pair of Nike I had fell apart in less than 6 months.

This seems to be a universal truth. Nikes were nice soft leather, but the only pair I ever had disintegrated.

Generally we stuck with Adidas and Puma.

I like retro style new trainers (not scally classics) mainly adidas. I've just purchased my 3rd pair of Micropacers, cant wait for them to arrive

I've got a pair of Gola at the moment... would never have dreamed of wearing Gola when I was a kid like, but it's cool now because they're retro!

I used to prefer trainer "boots" to tranier "shoes", they seemed to be all the rage when I was a kid. I remember having some fantastic boots, oncluding a pair of "Arrrow" and several pairs of "Pony"...

Not as humiliating as getting your arse tanned with one though.

I had Reebok Pumps....they were great, until the time I SNAPPED MY ACHILLES TENDON while wearing a pair on a school sponsored walk.

I put my foot down a rabbit hole after about nine miles, heard and felt a snap but carried on.

The support from the trainers was so good, I walked another ELEVEN MILES and finished the sponsored walk, and then walked another FIVE MILES home.

Then I deflated the Reeboks.

Oh...my...god.
