    For me, it has to be Adidas Marathon TR (although never seen any of the originals which had a half mesh grey sole)

    Also loved Air Jordan IV’s in black, I had 3 pairs at the same time in the same colour when they came out!

    and lastly Nike Internationalist in blue/yellow

    always always the last pair I had that are no longer available.. I went through a helluva lot of puma romas though so maybe those..

    there was a chunky adidas ‘outdoor pursuits’ type shoe around ’89 – ’91 maybe.. really gawdy colourscheme.. possibly lime and purple.. they were ace.. I killed a pair of them..
    those hi-top vision streetwear boots from around the same got worn to death too..

    Some old canvas rucanor baseball boots, wore them till they fell off me feet, then bought another pair, then another.
    The keen targhee mids im wearing now are like their spiritual successor, on my second pair with the third on the horizon.

    I had those Nike Air Jordan but in white with a grey/black speck.

    And my black/white Nike Air Hurache were pretty cool.

    Our PE teacher had Adidas Marathons in ’82ish, I always had better trainers than him. back then I was a real trainer geek and used to spend most Saturday afternoons in the Adidas shop in Edinburgh looking at trainers.. my favourite at one point were their F1 racing boots. I could never choose an all time favourite trainer as I wouldn’t be seen dead now in what were once upon a time favoutites.

    My god, I think I agree with loddrick. The green ones were nicer though.
    Diadora Borg Elite, Samba, Gazelle, and the original blue and grey Los Angeles run them close.

    Current faves are blue suede Nike baseballboots with a high top and a waffle sole, had them for years, never wear them ‘cos they’re sooo good……..
    Limited edition from sportsfeet in Manchester. I love them so much I’ll post a picture tomorrow.

    Inov8’s and New Balance thesedays though….

    they look a bit ridiculous (just a bit 😀 ) but i was very pleased to get a pair of these

    comfiest ever…think probably a pair of nike air huarache from the mid 90s, they had an inner sock you would wear with bare feet. Very comfy but stunk after a while!

    I too remember the Adidas shop in Edinburgh in the early 80s. They had everything including a bobsleigh shoe section.

    These were THE gutties when I were a lad.

    Lusted after these when I was much younger. Cost me an arm and a leg at the time and they were pretty crap!

    Muhammad Ali on your feet! Seriously? That has to be the worst looking shoe I’ve ever seen 😯

    I had a pair of blue Duffs a few years ago, well they lasted about 6 years cos I couldn’t throw them out. So comfortable. Never seen any like em before or since 🙁

    Underground in Manchester (who I ended up designing shoes for), used to import Adidas directly from Germany, so you could get garish colours that weren’t generally available here. Mine were navy blue and pink 🙂 Loving my New Balance at the moment

    back in the day this is what graced my hooves

    I can just recall how great it was when somebody went abroad and then came back with a new colourway. Them were the days!

    Nowadays it tends to be Gazelles.

    Air Max 95 are a classic too.

    Don’t be surprised, it’s hardly a million miles from all the bike kit threads on here is it..

    these (adicolor G5 superstar 2+), once worn a bit (to get rid of the new shoe shine) are a favourite of mine (i also have the desert camo version)

    these (puma futsala), again once worn properly (and looking manky) were another favourite (i bought mine 2 sizes too small cos they looked better…)

    and currently wearing these (adidas ciero) into oblivion – my favourite ever pair of shoes.

    in all honesty i’ve been a bit disapointed with the google image results (esp the pumas!), and i can assure you all the above trainers look far superior in real life! currently got around 13 pairs of trainers i think – most of the main brands covered, but got a definite love for adidas.

    Yeah? Duffs were never “marketed” to me, saw them on the net cheap, bought them, wore them for 6 years. How does that follow?
