These for £55 on eBay. I had ordered some from the Adidas website but these are £50 cheaper and still terrex / goretex for dog walking duties
For anyone after waterproof/ warm walking trainers, these are superb - really comfy out of the box and very warm.
Have ordered these. Because dog.

Got exclusive access to the J4 Pine Green's via the sneakers app this morning. Was a surprise and more so for my wife as it charged for paypal haha.

I'm a sucker for the J4 design and think this is the 4th pair I have now.
Congratulations - that’s a big W! biggrin
That's a great win! Classic SNKRS app behaviour this morning, said I was in the draw but never got any notifications and its not in my history, so guess I never even got my entry in. I think that's 10 big Ls for me on these.

Did you enter SNS? Mine is looking weird at the moment.

As ever with these things i'm sure it's a case of no news is bad news.

Heads up, originals Mexicana are £40 at the outlet stores. Picked up a pair from York designer outlet, guess the others will have them also.

I was thinking how I didn’t need another pair of yellow shoes and I prefer the other 2 yellow pairs I have, but bought em anyway
Thanks for that tip. Popped-in to my local outlet and I was surprised to see them priced at £61? They didn’t have my size anyway, but did have the black “Day of the Dead” version for £41, so I bought these instead. When I paid for them, they went through at £61 which I queried and I showed the lad on the checkout the shelf label showing £41 which he immediately honoured. I twigged that the shelf labels had been swapped incorrectly, so the yellow version were indeed £41 and I had scored a £20 discount. Result.

Nice box too.

Any good? The Star Player, a few years ago, was just a pair of Chuck Taylors with the chevron and star on the side. It looks to have had a redesign, perhaps in keeping with the original shoe. I liked the look of the newer iteration more for being different.

After no joy from the 6 different pairs of trainers I've ordered over the past month or so I needed something to wear while my quest continues and these came up in the sale.at Supereight.

Globe Sabre - 2nd style laces that match sole not installed yet, very comfy due to all the padding. They have no tongue, it's just a big padded "sock". I like a skate shoe and have 4 or 5 others but the construction of these is really solid with lots of little details.







Definitely not the Terrex I had planned biglaugh but I might look at these Nike ACG Lowcate as a less gaudy option....

do you have any more details of these?? are they ‘winter’ converse- rugged sole/ waterproof/ neoprene sock liner thing??? I have a pair that are years old and was wanting to replace them but couldn’t find any. all the winter cons I could find weren’t the same. the neoprene sock type liner was awesome in winter/ snow/ wearing when away skiing

These are comfy and really waterproof (wore a similar pair to GNR in Slane a few years ago. Feet stayed dry, still haven't managed to clean the shoes completely though

Nice man. I tried getting a pair on SNKRS but got an L of course!

I’ve decided to sell/send back my Reimagined 3’s. Would love to keep them but needs must!

Probably can’t do this on here, but…if a fellow Size 11 PHer wants first dibs, let me know. I will be selling them for the price they seem to be going for in Stock X/eBay (which isn’t a massive markup).

Yep, exactly those.
