New Trainers

[G|mp]

I only like running trainers.

I hate all those Kasabian, Queen of the stone age zuton wearing classic mod boys.

That statement would make sense if any of those were mod bands

Hovis? or tiger aka stretchmark bread?

aw bless. I'm afraid Gilly isn't the sort of person to lie on the internet to make himself look better

Madames et Monsieurs, je tes presente:

I love my shoes. This is only one of them.

They're not retro, they're trying too hard to be retro.

 

[G|mp]

They are retro.

Where have you been buying your Y3's from ? Been keeping an eye out for them for a while. No one seems to stock them, poor job by adidas.

Thats the 4 main ones i know of.

The Y3 clothing range is hideously expensive. The t-shirts are rather expensive and very ugly, god knows why people pay mucho dinero for a bright yellow t-shirt with 'Y-3' on it in big bold letters.

 

[Heaven Can Wait]

The only way.

Saw these today, very nice!
after a pair of adidas master st's myself.

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Just ordered some of these now actually.

These babies fell into my hands yesterday. Just had to have em. Comfy as ****.

And the winner is..........................

Damn, those look really nice. I've currently got a pair of Adidas Campus trainers. I'm really tempted to get some green Forest Hills soon. They look bloody gorgeous.

aw bless. I'm afraid Gilly isn't the sort of person to lie on the internet to make himself look better

I'm wondering why anyone would think I was lying about it.

They are retro.

Shush.

Well for a start they're not waffles

 

[G|mp]

Shush.

Feel like you’ve seen these before?

Probably so if you were alive and running in 1977.

But this time Nike have revisited their actual original designs, researched the original materials, specifications, and crafted this ultra limited edition to look 30 years old (these are an exact replication of some Cortez Nike found ’cryonically suspended’ in a vault beneath their museum)-fresh out of the box.

And it’s all there, almost to the stitch. 1970’s grade nylon. Weird swooshes. Aged laces. Weathered foam. And, of course those iconic colour combos. It’s vintage. Minus the annoying, "wait 30 years" part.

Well for a start they're not waffles

They are Nike Cortez, named after the Spaniard who defeated the Aztecs Juan Cortez.

 

[Gilly]

I was pointing out the fact that waffles are easy to spot, just look for squares with nipples on them

The original Cortez were fine for their time, but they were before trainers were decent. They're not retro, just old

 

[G|mp]

I agree they are old but is that not what makes them retro in the first place?
