I like those, but yeah, try white/cream-ish to match the midsole.

Dunno what they were thinking with the grey - doesn't really work, imo.

Ok I have cream and white with gold tips at home!

The grey is the OG colour, but I think they detract from the trainer!

Those are decent as they combine both of the dark and light red.

What colour is that rear portion of the midsole? As that is what I was basing the black laces, I’d have a go at matching that.

Colour is ok but I'd go with flat laces rather than round ones on a silhouette like that.

Sounds a bit odd (read: very odd), but I recognise those legs and they ain't yours!

Haha no not mine, the photo is from a great guy on instagram called torkertony. Massive amount of adidas runners, also into glasses and clothes, he has some amazing coats/jackets a few of them custom made!

He is checking if he has a spare pair, top bloke considering I have met him once and he probably doesn't remember!

Yeah, I know Tony through Instagram, that's why I recognise his pins

I generally wear Adidas classic trainers, such as Samba, Gazelle etc, but finding them in size 13 isn't easy.

Adidas originals I am a size 6.5 or 7 so literally the opposite end of the trainer buying world

One of my pals is a 13, he has mentioned to me before he's had luck with M&M Direct, so you'll be getting a saving, too... I've had a quick look and they've got a few Adidas Originals in your size, maybe not your cup of tea but worth keeping an eye on.

I quite like the Nite Joggers from that selection.

First time I've seen anyone refer to the Cortez as an orthopaedic shoe.

Quite a few brands have trainers in a very similar design. It's a classic, imo.

I love a cortez but they make me stumble
For some reason I catch the toe on carpet every now and then - not a good look.

There was a thread on CT once where someone asked if it happens to anyone else, with loads of responses. It answered a secret we were afraid to share

I used to have a pair of Cortez when I was younger and had the same problem.

I'm also a size13 and wide which is a pain.

Some spezials go to 13 and there are some Broomfield 13s on the Adidas site at the moment.

I am quite drawn to these but really hate paying full price... decisions, decisions.

Yeah, they're nice but not a million miles away from the 4D Boost 1.0s that were available for £54 recently. I'd hang on for a discount, frustrating as that is...!
