Which ones? To be fair, the original shell toe ones are about 20 year old!

I prefer the 'lived' in look....never been a boxfresh kinda guy

Will they suit blue/denim type of jeans?

Also I'm having a hard time finding them, care to add more details? I'd prefferably want to try them at a highstreet retailers shop, as they are a first for these style of trainers.

Edit: Really liking the last ones!

Stan Smiths, Superstars, etc are all v nice & look superb with jeans. Also consider Adidas Tuscanys, Nike Tennis Classics, Puma Peles are quite nice too.

I'm normally a big Adidas / Puma fanbox, plain styles normally, but this summer I've been almost exclusively wearing a pair of Dunlop Green Flash (watch out Alan Partridge), and a pair of Converse all star lowtops in khaki :confused:

Might have to but a new pair of superstars to snap me out of it, I haven;t had a pair for a few years

gord · 28 Sep 2006 at 23:20

If you can get Puma to make my alteration of their shoes.. id buy them

Ironic Namesake · 28 Sep 2006 at 23:23

US site, but they have most of those in the UK stores (the one in Wolves anyway)

i like adidas classics, black with white stripes similar to the ones above.

Alasdair · 28 Sep 2006 at 23:47

Get a pair of Merrell Chameleon Slams, they're great shoes - really comfy and hard-wearing

You've already said you wear slippahs, your opinion is null & void

<----original 80's trainer fiend.

Trainers are a big deal in Liverpool. You have to have the right 'trabs'. It all stemmed from the 'casual' football movement in the 80s

There is an excellent read by Peter Hooton from The Farm if you google peter hooton trainers. Unfortunately it contains swearies so I wont link to it. It describes the 80s trainer movement perfectly. I was pretty young while it was happening but my older peers and friends were all there making sure us young pups didnt wear sad trainees like Troop or LA Gear

Gilly · 29 Sep 2006 at 18:57

I was a latter part of the 80's trainer vibe through having an older brother. Drove my mum and dad mental us wanting new trainers all the time. I was **** of the walk slightly later with Fila, Reebok Pump, Air Jordan, Air Classics and Air Tailwind :cool:

My local Foot Locker won't stock the Adicolor Denim

[edit]Ooooh, JD Sports have them
