Recommendations please for light weight trainers for Orlando theme parks holiday over summer when it’s going to be boiling / humid and we’ll be touring loads of walking about. I have quite wide feet so need to take that into consideration.

Not bought a pair of decent trainers in years so totally out of the loop on what’s “good”!

These were often recommended when I was looking for gym trainers. A bargain at £60 if you're ok with the colours.

Ended up buying some ON Cloudtilts. They are the lightest shoes I've ever had (in Homer voice) "feels like I'm wearing nothing at all, nothing at all!"

The squishy soles are very weird and not sure I've got used to them it yet; but not really done any real distance. Will get a good hammering on hols in a few weeks so see how they go!

Sweet collection

Nice AJ1 Lost and Found
AJ1 Pollen in the back?
Possibly a AJ4 A Ma Maniere, another Maniere box as well.
Travis Scott AJ1 box, Velvet brown? I bet there are more Travis Scott boxes

Would that be a Mars Yard 3.0 box?
Off-white box?
Air Max boxes?

Wtf!
Is this for money? A fetish? Or just sheer goblin hoarding?

Ha ha not money, I wear them all this isn't trading. I've been collecting for getting on for 6 years, I have about 110-120 at a guess.

I have a bunch of IKEA bookcases for the shoes, the boxes live in the loft.

Umm right.

Yes the lost and found, got exclusive access for those.

AJ1 pollen yes
AJ4 AMM yes and the OG 3s and airships
Travis 1s yes, I have the low reverse mochas too
The tom Sachs box is for the yellow GPS which I like more than I like tom Sachs tbh
Yes I have the air max 90 off whites from the ten collections

And then **** loads of air max. Air max 1s are my main thing.. I'd say maybe 30-40% of my collection is 1s

Reliving a youth that didn't have the money for anything other than hi tech that got me bullied I've gone after all the 80s/90s OG colours so I have the red and blue air max 1, infra red 90s, neon 95s, silver bullet 97s and the OG colours of Jordan 1, 3, 4 and 5. I'm excited to get my hands on the black and red 6s next year

Who says we can't afford? Well.. my mum in the 90s. Now I can

Wow. I have just under 10 pairs and I thought that was a lot!
