Further to earlier pic. Another pair to match. Absolutely love these. Great winter colourways. And obviously fantastic Made in England quality.

Aimed at GF (cos I know you have loads) but anyone really...do you have your trainers displayed or just in a cupboard? Debating storage options currently.

Mine are just stacked up on shelves, above the wardrobes etc in their own boxes. If I had a large enough place with a walk in wardrobe I’d be all over that display case thing with the pop down fronts

Lucky you. I'm doing a 12 hour night shift. And last night. And again tomorrow...


The Mexico 66 are class, btw. I might have to grab a pair, and maybe some Corsair too.


And liking the NB's, GF.

I have a couple of shoe racks that are full, some pairs still in boxes and a few pairs in crep crates in the living room.

I like the boxes. Where are they from?

JD sports, Size, End, Amazon and quite a few other places sell them, they aren’t particularly cheap though (£35 for two).

Really? Puma suede, adi gazelle, Nike air max one!

I would say the Asics are nice but not one of the great timeless trainers imo
Considering 66’s have been around when Nike was called Blue ribbon and are still selling shows they if any thing are one of the most timeless designs going.
Exactly, and the Mexico 66 predates the Air Max 1, in particular, by about 20 years.
A Reliant Robbin pre dates a Ferrari f40 doesn't make it a timeless design though!

Not denying they are a great trainer, just imo not one of the greats. It's all a matter of personal opinion I really don't like the Jordan 1 but you can't deny it is a classic design and one of the most important trainers ever! Same with a superstar or even a Chuck taylor!!

End. You’ve missed the Offspring one now, and yeah I don’t mind the black 90s either. One of the better pairs

My point about the 66 predating AM1 was an illustrative one. That is, I was pointing out how old the design is, and given that they are still popular today, it isn't inaccurate to suggest that the design is timeless.

I have never seen anyone wearing them, guess that’s where we are not seeing eye to eye here! My brother has 35+ pairs of Asics and no 66’s!

I am 27 though so maybe a bit young wink
