Nicest trainers ever.

Still love my converse hi-tops though.

Would you call victorian dress retro? How about a caveman outfit?

Old != retro, though retro = old.

Retro has to be old (but not that old) and good IMO.

Retro and fasionable yes i agree but what might be vile to you may be nice to someone else

My mate wants some Fila shorts for on holiday (the ones that Danny Dyer wears in The Business) they are retro Fila shorts all tight and 70's and look ****ing awful but they are still retro

The kind of ones kids used to roll out of their towels in swimming baths around the country in the 80's

As the OP has proven. Though in the face of this thread he might be regretting his purchase of minging footwear

Nike Cortez trainers were big around 1998....not old enough to be retro. Nothing beats stan smiths or gazelle's

70's trainers re-released in the late 90's

Indeed, my Cortez were sexeh but some of the colour combinations you can get them in are shocking

Supes and Forest Hills are at least equivalent.

I can only hope that mine never get in that sort of state.

I love them too much.

These are my everydays. I only bought them as a stop-gap. They're OK, but they're no Max Classics.

You should see the state of my Italia 74s

Superstars > all.

Mine are complimented by a pair of Merrells for more strenuous duties.

Sic's are awesome.

I think I want some hi-top Reebok Pumps. Must have the basketball detail on the pump though.

They are surely hard to come by now?

I prefer board shoes myself, only wear 'trainers' for running.

Gilly · 21 Jun 2008 at 13:16

Yeah they are. There's been some re-released but I haven't seen the exact ones I want.

I can't stand the feeling of being in slippers all the time.

malfunkshun · 21 Jun 2008 at 13:18

slippers eh?

/me notes to buy gilly a pipe for his birthday

Gilly · 21 Jun 2008 at 13:20

'board shoes' (assuming skate shoes) = slippers. It is not I who needs the pipe

Lol, I understood

Skate shoes, yes, I like them because they are relatively flat, are stable and support the foot well, excellent for everyday use.
