Question to the sneaker heads: are there any trainers you own that you won't wear out because they are too precious/valuable?

I wear everything I buy but I have/had some that I restrict use to special occasions.

I will wear all mine but some will be weather or activity dependant.

Plenty of Yeezy zebras in Manchester if you are a size 7-8.

Also spotted these in Size?

They are a 4.5


They also had the black and red soled 87’s in a 5.5 too.

Is there any word on when the Dragonball Kamandas are dropping? It's this month sometime supposedly.

My wife liked the shiny gold ones when we were in LV!! Think they are VNR's or something. Yuck!

Don't know why the quote has gone weird. Edited to add a photo

Without the logos all over them they'd be really nice. I like the colourway.

Nothing exciting in the Nike outlet today.

Got a pair of NikeLab Air Zoom LWP '16 in navy for £17 will use the to walk the dog

Arse. No Asics x Afew Koi for me.

Not that I believe they were ever actually available by any other method than in store...

Agreed. Very cool design apart from the blunderbuss logo application

To be fair tho, I think that's a standard LV design statement, in the scheme of such things, it does work.

I wonder.. can anyone suggest a pair of comfy trainers to wear daily to work that doesn't cost much? (around £50).

I have a pair of black adidas duramos that I use normally, including going to the gym. Only issue with that is the vented fabric means it's not something good for wearing in winter. I basically want something that'as a little warmer/covered up.

criteria is as follows

- around £50
- black, plain as possible for office slightly smart but mostly casual dress code. mostly worn with jeans.
- comfy for walking around in/commuting
- if it's good enough to use in the gym for use ona cross trainer then that's a bonus.

They are very comfy but again vented fabric so they’re not that warm also if you do like i think adidas may have them cheaper. Puma rs-0 are nearly as comfy and unvented.

Edited to add, you are probably better with new balanc, as suggested below, as the black pumas either have pepsi logos or a red section.

I was actually thinking of a totally different NB model that I own. It’s a skate model and less trainer-like than the above. Couldn’t find it in stock anywhere must be long gone.

Saw them! They did have some nice natural leather high tops but one errant splash of liquid and they’re done.

I bought these (I know they’ll be questionable to most but I don’t give a fk)

At £625, LV branding apart what makes them 'better' than the equivalent offerings from Nike/Adidas etc? Is the quality of the stitching/leather etc a step above? Are they made by hand in Italy? I've always thought trainers by fashion houses seem disproportionately expensive for what they are.

If I buy a pair of Church's I can see where the money has gone over and above a pair from let's say Clarks. Is it a similar situation here or are you just paying ££ because it says LV/Prada/McQueen etc on it?

Did anyone else try/get the black diamonds?

If anyone tried and failed and are a size 8 let me know, would prefer to send to someone on here for cost than back to Nike

I’d be interested!

I am a 7, with insoles and thick socks I am sure I could make it work!

What was the price? I will obviously cover postage aswell!

Nike Omega.

Love these!

They were big news in the 80s breakdancing days. I couldn't afford them back then. I had to have them though, even 33 years later.

[Jordan210]

Both Nike and Adidas have discount today
