I had some original Puma Mostro's and they were so so so comfy. Not exactly for any kind of sport but as a shoe/trainer I loved them. They've just split at the front now but I still wear them when dossing lol.

Those Air Max 87's are a fine pair of trainers.

I had a pair of Nike Air Mx in Turquoise that i can't find a picture of anywhere. I also had a limited edition pair of Nike Air Huarache in suede/petrol blue colour, which again i can't find a picture of anywhere. This makes me think they were quite rare and would be worth a lot now.

I also have a pair of the low top versions of these

And a pair of Puma Platinums that i can't find a pic of

DezB, which ones are chav?

All of my trainers (with the exception of the Spizikes) are designs that were originally released between 1987 and 1997 that I either owned or lusted after when they first came. I got my first pair of Nike Air Max in 1987 and have been hooked ever since. All the ones I own are in the original colour schemes not something that your average chav would buy from JD Sports.

I had these but navy stripes and Phaaaat laces, tan everywhere else and all gum sole. As a 19 year old circa 1996, I was overjoyed to never ever see anyone else wearing a pair except Damon Albarn. 8)

I also love rowley xl2's, I have a tan/black pair on its last legs and would love some more.

Same here, soo comfy even though my toes hang out of the left one. Also have a pair of DC's I bought about 3 years ago, super comfy and will be relegated to biking shoes once I find another pair that I like, was always a Vans man before, but the latest ones I've bought just feel horrible in comparison to the DC's.

Also have a pair of these:

Houns, those are called Air Max BW (Big Window, because of the large air bubble). I think they came out in 1991, I had a pair in the black, white and purple at that time. I have never seen the other colour, I only remember a womens version in white and blue that actually looked really nice, although a friend at school got them and everyone ripped it out of him for wearing womens clothes!

They were £100, I remember only too well trying to persuade my mum to buy them for me in Olympus Sport in Oxford Street. I never did get them, hence having to buy some in later life. The most gutting thing was that only cost £50 in kids sizes (up to 5.5), but I needed a 6 and even though I tried to make the 5.5 fit it was never going to happen. That day scarred me for life!

My God, some of those shoes are hideous. No, worse than hideous. It's cpaitalism gone mad, I tell you. Plus, shouldn't you wear things that half the world's population doesn't also own if you want to look cool?

I'm glad I'm old sometimes, not often though, but usually when reading threads like this. Now, pass me my Church's brogues.

ooooo ooo
Great thread.
Takes me back to pouring over the 1982 Nike running shoe catalogue.

I wanted
Nike Odyssey
Terra TC with phylon midsole
but most of all I wanted a pair of Mariahs.

Started off wth junior shoes "Wally Waffle" (like the Internationalists) then a pair of Yankees.
Later Adidas Oregons.
Must look on ebay!!!

Tough one!

Back in my skateboarding days I swore by Duffs Strombolies, this was back when the only skate shoe options were Airwalk, Vans, Duffs or Etnies...I still maintain that they were the best skate shoes I ever used (though the Etnies SLB mid-tops came a close second).

I wore nothing but Vans Era/Old Skool for years, but have bought a pair of Vans Lo Pro Era (basically, just slimmed down Era) and they're superb.

I also have a major soft spot for Puma Suedes for which I blame the Beastie Boys circa Ill Communication/Check Your Head.

New Balance have some nice designs too, particularly the 360, but I primarily associate them with running shoes.
