Help Identifying Trainers

y2viks · 16 Jul 2007 at 16:01

Alright guys,

I was in Milton Keynes yesterday and i spotted a pair of trainers I liked, so I took a pic of them so I could price check them on the net. The only things on them were Adidas Superskate, but I can barely find any reference to them online. I've linked the picture i took:

Adidas Superskate

I've seen a couple on some sites which are a lot slimmer then the ones I saw, and i've checked the Adidas Shop Site and the website of where i saw the trainers... but nowt :/

Any help?

Thanks

I say if you like them that much just go back to the shop and buy them. As long as the shop isn't charging silly prices. The RRP of the trainer should be in the region of £60-£70, unless they are limited/special editions.

This was the closest I could find, but I'm pretty sure they're not the same:

Do people price check stuff on things like Trainers? If it was something like a Tv then I could understand it but trainers?

Trainers can cost upwards of £100 these days, and for most people, every penny counts

Thanks for the help guys

I reckon i'll just get something that looks similar because i can't be arsed going on a 160 mile round trip for a pair of trainers.

I usually price check trainers because i was close to getting a pair of Nike Air 360's months ago for £120, but then found them on eBay for £25, so now i'll always have a look on eBay before i'll buy trainers etc.

Thanks again

I price check anything and everything before purchasing.
I recently bought some Addidas Superstar's online from JJB.
Saved around £15 - £20 on what I'd have paid instore at most places in town.

Nike Air in store for £120, off EBay for £25.
Now I've bought "real" Nike Air from people on EBay - well they have seemed the real deal, they were correctly boxed and tagged etc.
The price was also fair, a little saving on the RRP and what I'd get them for in store.
However £120 Air's for £25 on EBay just says Fakes to me...

I tried the pair of the Nikes on at the shop where i first saw these and they feel the same as the ones i got off eBay. I'm pretty sure they're fakes too but i don't know where to check and to be honest, as long as they didn't disintegrate as soon as I started to play football in them, i'd be a happy boy.

It's been 5 months odd now i think and I use them for the gym and footy and they've not given me any problems at all, so if they're fakes, then meh - I'd rather have 5 pairs of these fakes then a pair of legit Nikes
