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

Other than that how about Ultraboost?

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.

I wouldn’t worry about them being faked to be honest. They are a regular trainer not something what the hypebeasts are after.

Cheers Matt. I think I'll take a punt, as mine have probably around 1,000-2,000 miles on them now and are... done.

You mentioned Ultraboost, and GF you mentioned Primeknit.

I have some Flyknit with the Nike foam, Epic React I think. Whilst they initially feel comfortable, they don't have the support or solid-enough sole to be all-day comfortable.

My NBY Blazers just arrived, which I ordered to match my NBY AF1s. They both use the 3M winterised designs, although I don't think I'll be using them much now

You'd love ASICS Gel.

Cheers. Hard to try any with all that’s going on, but is it any with the gel tech?

These for example? https://outlet.asics.com/gb/en-gb/gel-lyte-runner/...

Tried to buy the Nike Air Force 1 rose this morning. Hit buy at 8am as the clock turned, card details already saved. All confirmed and in a queue by 8.01.

‘Sold out’.

Bots.

I dunno what the actual odds are, but anyone not using a bot or bots, has vanishingly slim chances.

Where's Rawwr when you need him

Sadly size didn’t do my size and the pinks aren’t really my sort of thing.

The white ones look like you're an extremely committed Labour Party staffer.



Meanwhile the new Yeezy 450s look incredible. Not something I'd ever wear, but coherent and innovative.

That means nothing to me, I’ve better things to be doing than worrying about politics.

Not all gel is equal, same as Nike Air etc - there's variants.

They look like they'd fit your brief & style.

Clearing out the loft as we’re getting ready to move out I stumbled on these tucked away in one of the corners. They have probably been there about 8-10 years.



Granted they aren’t trainers per se I bought these for track days and potential racing but only got to wear them a couple of times before selling everything up. Plus I preferred my speedcats over these.
