Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

Anyone got Reebok pumps? I'm just itching to relive those 1990's Halycon days when I was rocking my pumps :-)

Actually Reebok pump plus

Can you put some pics up of your collection? Would be interested to see it!

No idea why it posted upside down...

I post quite a few pics to Instagram on my own account and on the channel account (roystinho, thesneakerannexe), but anything in particular? Got quite an eclectic mix, though not as many as I used to have. Currently at around 50 pairs or so... the other guy I do the videos with has a few hundred at least (we've never counted them all)

Not sure if it will be frowned upon, but a product called V-Tie came up on my FB this morning - does anyone use these or other 'no tie laces' - I am sure on some shoes they would make for a much cleaner look.

Are the the elasitcated clips that go between the eyelets? I'm not a fan personally

That's the ones - some look more like laces and some seem to clip together in the middle (which looks rubbish) - they are only a couple of quid on eBay so will see what they're like

Worth a try for a few quid I suppose. Bang some pics up when you've got them on

Adidas launches beer and vomit-proof trainers

Shame they are £160 otherwise I would have bought them think they look great!!

The new adidas spzl range is being revealed this week with the wensley gt already being shown, looks nice!

Here's my hideous latest purchase.

Double from the shoe thread but meh.

Function over style in this case. Not a casual sneakee.

Loads

Instapump Fury x 4 (Stash, Villains, Halloween, Custom)
Instapump Fury Road x1 (CNE16)
Omnilite x 3 (Black/Gold, Stash, Blue/White)
Omnizone x 1

I bought these a couple of years ago for a laugh, purely for the same reason.

They're made in Germany, which is a plus. The MIG Hamburg was around the same price as far as I recall, and the MIG Samba released recently was, I think, £150.

That said, the München upon which these are based uses very similar tooling to the Trimm-Trab (and in fact has the same sole unit). I own a pair of Trimm-Trab and if they're anywhere near the same comfort £160 is far, far too much. I'd say the T-T is the single least comfortable Adidas trainer I own, but other releases might have been better than the 2013s in that respect.

Erm... I think I might get them at the weekend... super nice and you get a free beer mug apparently. Agree they are quite expensive though, but anything decent is creeping into that £130-150 price bracket, which is ridiculous really

They are a smashing looking shoe, to give them their dues. I didn't know they came with a beer mug but that would cater to two of my interests: trainers and pints. Definitely do try them on first if you can as my one experience of the Trimm-Trab is that they have a very hard insole with quite pronounced arch support and minimal cushioning. Like I said, though, other releases might have substantially more cushioning or be an all-round more comfortable shoe.

Despite having complained about their comfort I still wear them, because they look great.

Check on the beer glass as I don't think all retailers had them!

I am waiting to see the rest of Gary Aspdens range see where my money goes!
