Picked up some Air Max 97s today, and managed to get 4 pairs. 2 adult pairs for Lance and I, and 2 kids pairs for the Mrs to wear. A bit geeky but I absolutely love this trainer.
The 97 is a fascinating looking thing. Even if it's not something I might wear, there's something alluring about the design that makes me respect it. I bet there were some looks when you left with four pairs of the same trainer! Sounds very convenient that the lady in your life gets away with the kids' sizes (and, by extension, the kids' prices).
Had a pair in the early 00s that I wore to death (and the bin), always a trainer I've loved for the futuristic look.

Didn't actually walk out with 4 pairs at once, we both went to Size and got ours, then called into a JD to try and look at the silver bullet 95s and they had the kids ones in, rude not to pick them up for the wives when they let us get away with so much (and they look even more class on girls anyway). Aren't most women in kids 3-5.5sizes anyway?

I have a pair of Original Samba Classics and a pair of Adidas Varial Mid Tops. The Varials were fairly difficult to acquire as I wanted them in a specific colour combo.

Have worn the same pair of Nike Isometric for past three years also. I also have a pair of Reebok plain grey Hitops which I wear now and then.

Er. Am I doing it right???

Yeah its the 20th birthday of the AM97 so they are being re-released this year. They started with an Italy-only special edition



Then a limited edition 'La Silver' and the latest that dropped a few days ago are a 'Quickstrike' Silver Bullet release.

I started to enjoy this thread but it's seriously waning with all the photos that people are quoting in their replies

Just remove the IMG tags, chaps.

Sorry back to adidas wink, got these yesterday really pleased!

Bought a pair of these on Friday, love em!

Just wish I could get my hands on a pair of Onitsuka Tiger Serrano's and some Adidas X-Country. Does anyone know how to get hold of either? The Serranos only seem to be available in the US and I think the X-Country were finished years ago? Wish Adidas would bring them back.

Probably the first pay day I log on to see if anything takes my fancy and nothing frown

Off to Southampton and Portsmouth with the wife and little one in two weeks. I hear there is a Nike Factory Shop in Portsmouth so will hang on to my money and see what is there. Fancy some more AM95's or AM1

Excuse the "gangsta" in the background.



Anyone up for some Roshe Twos? £45 at Office - "Midnight Navy Sail" colourway. Very casual look, quite understated.

Bought myself some Questar Boost today... cost me 45 quid, but were essentially 'free', because I had £50 of Shell vouchers which I exchanged for a pre-paid Mastercard.

Shame they only had the yellow ones left, but they're running shoes and will be used as such - need to break them in before I do the Berlin 25km next month.
