I doubt remember seeing either of these NB made in UK releases - both look pretty good to me

Sole is yellow so going to wait until I have seen them in person to decide!

The Blackburns are lovely though!

On business in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

Rifts are the go to trainers for being abroad.

Does the split in the toe not cause chafeage.

No way! Super comfortable. I do more miles in Rifts (running/walking/climbing) than anything else. They are great for driving too because you get great feel through the pedals.

The material ones (as opposed to the leather ones) are perfect for travelling (easy to take off on planes), great on boats and yachts, and perfect for jet skiing and beaches because they can get wet without any issues and dry quickly.

Easy to wash in washing machine too.

I'm a big fan (in case you hadn't guessed!)

Ha! I have the exact same Rifts. I've never worn the socks.

Last year I bought a pair of AM95 Sneakerboots for some winter hacks and although brilliant, they were white and light brown, which didn't do them any favours over winter. This year I've solved the problem courtesy of a Nike sale and a further 20% discount and bought...



...black ones. Not bad for £80.

Also, September was the first month in about 2 years where I didn't buy a single pair of sneakers.

Has anyone tried on the Jordan Mars 270 - are they comfy?

Also, the sneaker show in London at the weekend, do people sell trainers at discounted rates or still RRP or more for the rare stuff?

Had a great day in Blackburn yesterday, met some great lads including Danny and Lance, the adidas exhibition is fantastic with a massive variety on display both old and new!

Yep, I tried 'em.

Very comfy, you'll like them. I do as well but just not at £140. Don't think they're worth that.

Are any worth the money though :laughing:

OK, Footlocker have them for £99 or did a few days ago

[TheJimi]

I'm getting an "access denied" message when trying to get into footlocker :-/

12hr session for me, I was a little hazy this morning. I was wearing the OG ZX10000

No hangovers had a few pints though, bulhill spzl. Will upload some pics of the day as I know you dont have insta!

[Gameface]

I'd appreciate that.

I'm out the country at the moment but I really must attend one of these trainer events one day.

Would have to be a London one though, I reckon.

I always thought that but in all honestly it was such a laugh, everyone is really nice, well worth 10 hours on a train tbh!! Pics incoming

[Gameface]

10 hours???

I admire your dedication.
