There is something nice about a brand new pair of trainers smile

Out of interest, do you buy anything other than Adidas? And do you wear all of them, or are there pairs that'll never see pavement?

I think Arsenal needs his own FAQ page!

Yes Adidas is all I buy, I haven't worn them all as of yet but all that I have will be worn when I get round to it, If I was to get something really rare like the 1/20 Paris (only 20 pair in the whole world individually numbered) then I wouldn't wear them,

Also not all of the pairs I buy are brand new, Both these in the pic was worn when I got them although only worn once / twice and are immaculate.

Proper collector then smile

So, you literally buy no other makes to wear outside the collection?

Out of interest, how much does the value drop by wearing them (outside)?

Are there any pairs you own that you would never wear?

They are not for me tbh, im in a few Facebook groups with the guy who does them and everyone says they are amazing quality etc but not really my thing, same as when people say a pair of normal trainers different colours, prefer mine as they are from the shop than custom made / designed etc,

Missed out on the Adidas NMD R1 and EQT/ultraboosts.
On eBay for £250+ which i'm not paying for out of principle.

It was just the adidas originals selling page. Not sure how to link to it from the Facebook app, but I can log in to my laptop tonight if you can't find it.

Edit - I think the guy also said these were a one-off.

Picked these up at a snip at £95.

My first half decent smart shoe
Jesus wept, they're awful! I can't work out what I dislike most, the clumsy square toes or the dubious top and side leather.
Maybe not what you would choose, but I like them.
