Anyone into trainers/sneakers? (Vol. 2)

Anything other than black or navy is bright and wacky?! Jeez. You're gonna have kittens on here

What about Nike Air Force One low? (mid and high are also available) Easily one of the most versatile trainers you can buy, style wise, and being leather, they're wipe-clean.

Comfy too, and they get better with age.

Haha maybe I could stretch a bit from black and navy. I’ve got some Adidas Jeans in bright blue and pink suede which I love, but I’ll never wear them unless I perfectly sunny as the moment they get dirty they’re ruined.

So for these just want something super comfy and darkish so can wear down pub or walking to town in the rain etc without worrying about them.

I do like the look of Air Force ones!

[TheJimi]

Your brief has AF1 written all over it

Also Adidas Continental 80. I have both, but I prefer the AF1s.

[reggie82]

Cheers gents, I’ll get some Air Force One’s ordered. I notice they do Gore-Tex ones too which is pretty cool!

Air Force 1 sizing is very, very odd, just be aware. I take a 9 or a 10 in most trainers... an 8.5 in an AF1 felt loose compared to what I typically wear!

Entered the draw for the Adidas Krusty Burgers. First time I’ve entered a draw knowing I’ll resell them tbh!

Thanks for limiting the chances of people who want to actually own them!

I’ve been entering draws for trainers I love for over a year and never, not once got a pair. And they then appear on StockX the next day for 3xRRP. I’m just playing the same game as everyone else, I’m sick of playing by the rules and getting shafted - I obey every sodding Covid rule, don’t go out, wear a mask when I do, don’t mix and my timeline is full of people ignoring it and we’re paying the price. So once, just once I’m doing something for me.
Sue me.

Some impressive mental gymnastics there.

I for one, sincerely hope you don't win, if you're doing with the intention of reselling.

It is frustrating...

My son wanted some Jordan 1s for Christmas (all he'd asked for since about September). I hunted high and low, entered draws, logged on a 8am and even as of this Saturday when some dunk highs were about he liked, he's still not got his Jordan 1s and i'm not in the business of paying £2-300 for a pair of trainers for a 15 year old to mess up.

Not won a draw yet and he's really got his fingers crossed on the PSGs that we entered today as he said "the colour matches his new hoodie" lol.

It is annoying, I get why people do it, but it deprives those who just want to wear some nice trainers.

I did manage to get him some Not For Resale AJ1's for Christmas.... https://vndskicks.com (he was pleased I'd tried)

[Sheetmaself]

So I guess if everyone jumped off of a bridge we know what you would be up to straight after!

Sorry to be so judgemental but I just can’t see how you can justify this to yourself. Everyone isn’t doing it, infact almost no one in here is doing it at worst we team up to help others increase their odds, some people are sts and they will do whatever pleases them to make a quick buck.
Those are the people you have joined forces with and as someone who has posted on here before and contributed I sincerely hope you you change your mind and that next time you want something shout out ask for help and I’m sure one of us will put an entry in for you.

I get that you are looking to turn a buck, but that just makes it more difficult for those that want a pair to wear.

I was fortunate to get a pair of lego trainers in a draw, but am thinking, would i wear them (not going out at the moment).
I could've turned thm for in excess of what I paid, but the likliehood is that i will offer them to someone that wants them (here prob) at £110.
But they were £100 you say Yes, I had to pay £10 p&p, so I'm just trying to recoup what i paid.

Do a kind deed and IF you get them, offer em up amongst people that may in urn help you out when there is a pair you really want.
You may even feel good for doing that.....

size 11 if you want them BTW

[Beefmeister]

There were pages in this very thread where people were jumping in and entering draws so that there was an increased chance of others in here getting them. How is that any different?

I was actually planning on offering them in here first, then if no takers i'd put on StockX.

[Londonerupnorth]

I’ve also entered the adidas krustyburger, problem is I also was lucky enough to win the Lego’s- these are still sat in the box as I can’t wear them without looking like a registered sex offender, will probably have the same problem with the Kristy burgers if I do win in the raffle

Aye, you were totally gonna offer them here first - maybe at 2 x retail

As opposed to an unregistered one?

[Levin]

Does anyone have any experience of the Sperry CVO as an alternative to a pair of Vans Authentics? It's the earlier style of the two, apparently. I wouldn't be adverse to buying another pair of Authentics but I love it when there's a bit of history behind the things I choose to wear.

[Digga]

No pictures of dogs today. Just a pair of trusty, old favourites, which I am sure have featured on Vol. 1, but worth a reshare.

A custom pair of Nike Mogan's which I got when they were available on the Nike ID platform.





They matched the VW van I had.

Hi gents,

I want to get a pair of casual trainers. Something like Adidas Gazelle/Hamburg or Nike Air Jordan, not tied to any brand etc but that type of thing. Don't want anything too bright and wacky, black or navy probably.

Main thing is I want them to be comfy. I have a pair of Ultraboost's for the summer which i love, but they're a bill chilly at this time of year and I also want something that's a bit more casual rather than looking like I'm about to go for a run.

So, what's the comfiest trainers you've had in that style? Budget circa £100 but don't mind spending a bit more if the comfort makes it worth it!

Cheers

Hi Reggie. Being a bit of a mod, Gazelle OGs (slimmer mid-sole and different toe cap than your standard Gazelles) are my go-to trainer of choice. They're one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, and can be very versatile.

For me, the normal Gazelles always look a bit 'TK Maxx' to me.

Here are the OGs:

[Londonerupnorth]

L’s on the Krustyburgers as expected!

If your quick offspring have them in stock


the resale is low on them so should be able to get them

I'm with you on that - OGs all the way.

Especially in blue with white details.

Hi all,

RobbieTheTruth from the coffee thread here.

Just purchased these.
