Nice summer colourway.

Very nice. I'm surprised never to have seen anyone wearing these given how popular the New Balance 327s are around my way.

Yeah, good point.

I've got a soft spot for Puma though, since only ever wearing Puma Kings when I played football.

Best boots ever IMO.

Reebok have a 50% sale on. Bought these...





To wear with these...



(Colour match is closer in reality).

I love brown "baseball glove" type leather anyway but at £55 the trainers were a steal.

Finally got my hands on these, very happy with them.

What are they like on? Having held a pair, I actually quite like them. I'm not sure they're something I'd wear, but I like them.
They're super lightweight due to the materials, on foot they're very comfy. They squeaked a little due to the top rubber and they way they creased but dies down.

The good thing is there will be loads of colours of them like the 270. My GF has the black pair with pink bubbles and they're really nice and subtle.

As you can tell I go for the lairy colour ways rofl

Those sneakers look great! Checking their website at the moment. Thanks!
It looks like today is my lucky day, i found help with my studies https://academized.com/ and my perfect pair of sneakers. The day started so badly with the horrible weather and me being late for an important meeting and now my mood changed completely and i am a happy person again.

Every single school-run mum round here seems to wear 327s, white slouchy socks and black leggings. In the colder weather, the long puffer coat is obviously mandatory too. Absolute box checking exercise hehe

I have a pair of Awake Air Ship on the way.

My concern is that the Air Ships I wore last week for first time were rather uncomfortable towards the end of the day. Not sure if I bought the right size and whether it's just an unforgiving shoe.

They look quite nice though biggrin

These just turned up, first pair of Air Max for a while

If anyone fancies a bargain on these, PM me. Wore them the other day and they're too stiff at the heel for me, so I'm willing to let them go to a PHer for £45 as I'm never gonna wear them again. Plus it saves asking my missus to whack them on Vinted biggrin - Size 11.5UK.

You can return them you know? 60 day return policy.

I have heard of people returning shoes after a few years too.

Seems that they may have changed the policy for UK compared to US.

Are they dirty? I don't think Nike even check the stuff which is sent back to them tbh.

Can't quite believe that but I've just done the live chat on Nike website and received a returns label already. The soles are pristine to be honest, quick wipe with a cloth and you wouldn't know they'd been worn but I'd never take the piss... but if Nike are happy to receive a return after I've been totally honest with them about why I'm returning the trainers, I'll take that all day long lol. Cheers for mentioning it, compared to an issue I had with Adidas and poor QC on the Iniki's a few years ago, this is like a breath of fresh air!

They used to have a policy that you get the shoes for 60 days and can try them out. If you're not happy, you can return them.

It seems they have that on US site, but the UK site is 30 days and not wearing them. I think some people took liberties and ran marathons in shoes then returned them.

The chat does have a bit of discretion though. A guy I know bought a pair of shoes and left them in the box. A year later decided he was never going to wear them and managed to get a refund arranged.

Anyone used one of these trainers refurb places? And can recommend a decent one?

I've couple of pairs of older Nikes that are looking battered but are quite rare so don't want to get rid of them.

Have you just hit the mark on why I hate long puffer coats? I think you've hit on something by pointing out that it's part of a uniform.
