Michael Flatley just called to ask for his leprechaun shoes back mate...

Smart trabs them though.

Hooligan chic and you know it

I had some years ago and they were great in the summer with shorts on

Im not liking the new gazelle's with it plastered over the back though

But with a lighter brown instead of the white base. More comfortable than my bed.

Yeah the ones with it stuck on the back are a load of rubbish. Soccer sprouts had some original gazelles in stock a while back for 40 quid with the green sole, white leathre uppers. Quite smart.

Bah, been looking for some Gazelles for ages except in brown, with white stripes, I'm sure I've seen them before... maybe they were yours? Or were they Forest Hills...?

My Forest Hills are all white with a brown sole

nah think the three stripes were in plain green mate. I begrudge buying stuff out of there and giving money to Mike Ashley.

I honestly cannot tell if you are joking here.

Change the colour to white and they're pretty much identically shaped.

However, these are apparently trainers, while DCs etc are "slippers". I just thought I'd point out how the perceived differences are really non-existent.

If by similar shape, you mean shaped to fit on someone's foot then yes. Superstars are much narrower, arent suede, have a rubber toe, not as much padding on the inside and aren't designed for skating at all. I'm not badmouthing skate shoes though. I quite like them, they just don't suit me.

Which high street retailer has the best selection of Nikes? Shopping online has its pros but there's something about holding the shoe and trying it on first that just can't be substituted.

SoccerSport (or is it the other way round) I avoid that place like the plauge though. JD Sports stocks the newest stuff, but not a large selection. Not a lot of choice her in Plymouth though.

I bought my last pair of Nikes at JD and you're right about the lack of selection.

I'll give SoccerSport a try, thanks

If you buy from Nike.com you can buy trainers that are only available in the USA i think as the ones I bought weren't available from even JD Sports.

What online shops are there? I'm looking to get another pair of Nike trainers and I don't really know where to look.

Cheers dude. I had a look around some of those earlier but couldn't really find much, at least the sort of thing I was looking for. I'll have another gander now.
