spent 1 week in gardone riviera as part of my honeymoon and loved it. such a nice part of the world! traffic round the lake is pretty rubbish, but there worse places to be stuck in slow moving traffic.

I spent two weeks in Lake Garda a few years ago, it's stunning. The first week was apparently just before the schools in Germany broke up because the second week was like holidaying in Germany basically rofl The traffic was much heavier but all the cars were from outside of Italy, everyone in the hotel we were in including the staff switched to German etc. We asked one of the staff who told us it was the start or their holiday season so everyone drives across to it.

Didn't detract from the holiday at all mind, just funny seeing the difference from one week to the next.

Banging love garda and como. Don't bother with Capri unless you have deep pockets.

Bologna is worth a visit as is Tuscany!

Start in bologna for the food, then the drive to Florence is epic (Ducati’s test drive route) and there are some decent trainer shops in Florence.

Best euro trainer shop I stumbled across was in Ljubljana, saw colourways I didn’t know existed, bought 5 pairs between us.

Aye, Lake Garda is very popular with the Germans - and the Dutch too, especially at the time of the Millie Millie.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest thought and doesn't detract anything from the experience.

It’s popular as that area of Italy used to be Germany (well austria/germany) until just after ww1. Still retains a large number of German speakers and culture.

See Guenther Steiner, the most Germanic Italian there could ever possibly be.

Couldn't say no for £48 delivered.
Just ordered a pair of these Hoops Mid 3.0 from Adidas, paid a bit more than you though - £52
Not sure if the fur lining will make them a tight fit (I've ordered their largest size 13.5) or if they will be too warm?
Wore these today for the first time since buying them, and I really like them. Might even prefer them to my Jordans as they are more discreet. Wouldn't mind a pair in brown, but they don't seem to be available in my size (13) any longer.

Funny we drove from Bologna to a small town between Florence and Sienna.

Some amazing roads, shame I was in a hire car!! I saw zero trainer shops

These are actually quite special to me as my mum passed away a couple of years ago and today is her birthday, so the 3 26 has a meaning.

Someone a while back asked about the new Air Max DN colourways, well Nike are bringing out quite a wide selection now.

Annoyingly I can't see the ones in the middle (pink fade ones) listed anywhere.
The fade one is called All Day HQ3732-501, perhaps it’s not a UK/EU release?
Just to update on this, they did apparently drop on the app as a scratch and reveal type thing the other week. They weren't on my app this morning but I saw someone mention they dropped a week ago, scrolled back through a few times and they magically appeared. So I missed them, they were obviously sold out in most sizes (they had smaller sizes and 11 up I think).

Really annoying that Nike make it so complicated to buy trainers sometimes especially on Air Max day. Just drop them all on the app as raffles ffs.
