It's a funny old world, It didn't hit me in that sense at all as a kid.

Never really cared about runs/collaborations tbh! :)

But yeah, just my view.

Just in contrast, just bought 4 pairs of pumps @ £3 each from Primark today :p

Bought some trainers from adidas store, exact size I usually take, but they are way too tight. For midget feet or something. Never again.
 
Now a pair i bought i needed a size smaller. I usually take a ten and had to get a nine. My feet must be shrinking, pity the do drop in price the smaller they get
 
keen on them. good choice of materials too. i always get carried away on nike id then think to myself, "stop it now, that would look crap, youre being an idiot"

The sneaker game is messed up, bots and resellers are killing it.

I wanted to cop a pair of Adidas Solebox uncaged last week but its impossible. As soon as it goes live, the site slows to a crawl and when you finally get on, its sold out.

Then they all appear on eBay with a 400% mark up! Who the hell buys £500+ sneakers on eBay!

Spoilers: It's Adidas themselves doing it :p:p
 
Just gone to put on my Hugo Boss trainers after about of year of them sitting in my wardrobe - However the little lace tags seem to be missing.

I've looked on on line but can't find replacements. Is there another name i could search for?

I know Nike called them deubré but that doesn't bring any up.
 
I wasn't sure of the best place to ask this question but this seems as good as any. How much space would you guys say is about right to leave at the front of a pair of trainers? I have been experiencing some foot pain of late and thought that maybe it was down to wearing trainers that are too snug fitting. I have purchased some Reebok classics in a half size bigger than I'm used to purchasing and they give me about three quarters of an inch of space between my big toe and the front of the shoe. Does that sound about right?
 
I just checked the asics I have on and they have about an inch. They fit great and are comfy so I think you'll be fine with the quarters of an inch

An inch is far too much IMO. I have a pair of Asics Sagas that are about an inch too big and so my shoes have too much "movement". I like to have about 1cm of extra space and no more.
