Nope there were 200 released with a red tag and a different insole for a charity. This is one of the normal pairs, mostly sold out I think though.

Ah didn’t realise there were GR versions too. Very nice anyway.

Question though; why do those colours signify Blackburn?

Thanks! Not sure on overall numbers but doubt it was massive!

This isn't a re-issue it's a trainer based on old shoes designed by Gary Aspden. I bought then because I went to the exhibition, love the design, love the colours, especially the sole, love a dark flat soled adidas!

The rarer ones were the ones where people were spoiling the bidding on ebay. Somebody posted a link a few pages back.

Yeah I saw an article about that. Shill bidding or something to daft amounts.

Quite sad at the moment. I have three pairs of new sneakers I haven't worn and I can't wear them because last Tuesday I got knocked off my bike by some red-light-jumping-van-driving c*nt and as well as being unable to walk, my right foot is about twice the size of my left foot. Sad times.

Sorry to hear that.

The colours are the reverse of the Lancashire rose

Yep can only get them on ebay now. I found some, they were the last pair at End :-)

Got so many compliments from people when had them on the other day. I'll look after them

If you feel that the Awareness Course is insufficient punishment, I can have him tortured for you.

Dont often see green trainers, so they stand out in a understated way.

[Gameface]

Yeah, my green Dragons always garnered praise

[TheJimi]

Incoming! Nothing fancy but I've been meaning to get a pair for a while.

[Gameface]

I've got a pair. One of my go to sneakers in the winter. Where did you get yours?

[TheJimi]

Zalando. Bit of a bargain at 67 quid!
