Any opinions on the Adidas Originals Tubular Shadow as a casual trainer? Looking for something comfy I can wear at weekends, ideally grey, and like the look of these - will wait to see if any offers come up though, not sure I want to spend the £75 currently being asked.

Thanks - not my size though and black (I'd prefer grey because I seem to have a lot of blue clothes ).

Going off topic, to the people that run in these, what are your thoughts? Fast? Cushioned?

I swing between both.

A couple of years ago, I did the Berlin Big25 in fast flats (Asics). This year, I'm doing it in Adidas Boost with more cushioning.

Sometimes I really get into flats, but I'm in one of my cushioned phases, especially after discovering Boost.

I have just got a pair. I previously ran in Nike Lunars which had more cushioning but less support. I like them but have struggled to break them in. I would say they feel less cushioned then i would have liked.

Im going to list quite a few of mine this weekend, was thinking Ebay, is that still the best place to sell?

[BlueFiestaST]

Managed to get a pair of cream yeezyboost 350s.
I've only ever been successful with 2 yeezyboost drops. The others were the chocolate 750s.
I would have liked to get a pair of the 'bred' v2 350s.
So hard to get a pair.
For the next release i'll be entering every raffle numerous times. Next one is June.

If you don't mind paying the 10% final value fee to eBay, it's not a bad way to go. If you have Facebook you might be able to find a few communities. I know Strictly Waffles deals solely in Vans but there are bound to be equivalents.

Got 'em from Size? and paid £40 a few days ago. Just checked again, and that colour is out of stock by the looks of it (and back up to £72!)

I can thoroughly recommend, they are a great shoe. A slight step above in terms of comfort (Style is up to you) is the EQT... I have both EQT and Tubular Shadow in heavy rotation at the moment and will be buying more when the time comes. Not found anything as comfortable as an EQT in a long time, closely followed by the Tubular.

2 new pairs for me, used to love Nike but most recent purchases have been Adidas (especially Sambas)

[TheJimi]

Damn, never seen Sambas in that colour scheme before, very cool!

Few brand new pairs on eBay for a bit of a premium

I always fear that eBay are fakes though. Maybe just being paranoid.

Christ, they're horrific!

As are those Tubular things, which look like pensioner's slippers.

Horrific, agreed. But the resale is very high

[roystinho]

So we managed to pick ourselves up some of the mega hyped and really rare Yeezy trainers... so what are gonna do? Raffle them off for charity of course, raising money for the Alzheimer's Society.

I like sneakers but these Yeezys look gash. You can't pull them off with anything without looking like a 12 year old/hypebeast. If you intend to flip them on for a profit fair dos but I never saw the fuss with these.

Go for something classic like Common Projects.

[AshBurrows]

Black yeezy's look amazing if you love Rick Owens type stuff imo.

[Trabi601]

The Iraqi guys at my local hand wash love Yeezys.
