again - live in Scotland - if I restrict it to those days, they will remain pristine ...

I live in Scotland too, west coast as well, so - rather wet!

Which is why all my collection is more or less pristine

A question for the experts. A pair of trainers I absolutely love haven't been sold in ages. I want to get a genuine pair (or ten!) of the same. Where's the best place to do this?

Nike Air Max Modern Flyknit - like these...

ETA: Or perhaps some alternative trainers. These have a pretty good arch support (nothing major) but more importantly are elasticated - so the laces are really just for show. The most snug feel ever. I also think due to the material, they're also super flexible and comfy.

Nike Air Huarache could be an alternative for the fit you desire. Or any Primeknit or Flyknit upper.

I actually don't like the Huarache, but do the Primeknit / Flyknit all have the elasticated inner? If so, that'll be worth a look for me.

These have dropped in a gorgeous colourway...



Another plus is that you won't need to join a raffle to get your hands on a pair either

I've more experience of Primeknit and it fits like a glove IMO.

Have a look on eBay there seems to be a few pairs of various sizes on there.

Other than that how about Ultraboost?

[Gameface]

Swift Run Primeknit might fit the bill.

ASICS Gel - Quantum 360 / Kenun Knit / Kayano knit ?

Has anyone got any Zoom sole Jordan 1's?

I like the London ones about to drop but am interested in how much more comfortable they supposedly are.

[TheJimi]

My Dunk High Pro's are Zoom.

Very comfy. Assuming the J1 uses the same midsole, you won't be disappointed.

Equally tho, don't go expecting Boost / React levels of squish.

I don't think you need to worry about it, however

I have quite a few of the Zoom AJ1s. Don't get too excited about comfort. They're better than a normal J1 but we're not talking about large degrees.

[TheJimi]

Aye, good way to put it

[Gameface]

Cheers Jimi.

Needed something a bit smarter for meetings and restaurants.

Went Sneep Crew again. The leather is out of this world. The suppleness and quality of it is ridiculous.

The photos weren't taken with a flash but look at sheen and deep oxblood colour. Beautiful.

They look good, I do prefer the green ones posted earlier but these do look “smarter” as you say.

I keep looking, and keep getting tempted, but how do I ensure they're genuine? Or is this unlikely to be faked?

Seen these, in my size. Not the ideal colour way, but they're so comfortable I don't care.
