Anyone into trainers/sneakers?

Box with no lid means that 99.99% of the time they were an outlet purchase.

As for the authenticity, they look good but I can't remember a gum sole on the black ones, I thought they were all white.

Gum soles often mean they're Chinese 3rd shift. I bought a pair of Air Max 95 (all white) off ebay a few years ago, they were £40, so I had my doubts. I compared them, very carefully, with the OGs I had burst the air bubble on, no difference, except the gum sole.

SL80

Mucho wanto!

Those blue 97 arrived today, glad I went with blue as they're pretty dark anyway, the reflective bits are cool.

Is that the new release? Mine don’t arrive until tomorrow, you swine!

Inspired by a poster on this thread I got a pair of these.

Size 9 mate, but thank you.

Think its fair to say the Adidas Propheres haven't been a success - seeing them reduced to £60 already!

[joshcowin]

What were adidas thinking, they are ugly and £90. £10 more and you have boost.

I am guessing they were targeting the Huarache buyer.

I wonder how much it has cost them?

Not very much, I don't think. The markup on trainers is huge and if you consider the sheer number of styles brands like Adidas churn out, a flop here and there won't make a blind bit of difference.

Really, never even looked into this side of trainers before. Interesting thanks, will go and read a bit more about it!

Nice one. Jordan 1s are great, best style for me

[roystinho]

Biggest problem for me with the prophere is that it weighs a ton. Style is always gonna be subjective, but the actual structure of them is a fail for me

Back playing basketball so ordered these.. Adidas Dame3

I love the reflection on the Obsidian. Excuse the jeans...

Nice shoes, but the jeans and trainers combo isn’t a good look!

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Those jeans maybe but if not jeans what would you wear?
