Some old canvas rucanor baseball boots, wore them till they fell off me feet, then bought another pair, then another.

Correct.

Me and a mate have same size feet. He bought a black pair of Ruccys and I bought a white pair. Swapped one, so we had one black and one white each. Excellent!

Original five 10 highs come a close second.

Adidas Ivan Lendl

I used to dream of these as a lad, except growing up in Barrow-in-Furness, shoes of any kind would have been good.

Nike Oregon Waffle - Had an original pair as a kid and several pairs as a grown-up

Airwalk Vic - First "proper" shoes I had for skating. Revelation after about 10 pairs of cheapo converse copies. Can't find a picture of the ones I had after; Etnies Natas, the first pro shoe model but they were equally good

Puma States.
Adidas Kick.

Bought some Converse One Stars Mid in Green in the scorchio summer of 95 i think i wore them every day until they disintegrated about 97. they've re issued a similar shoe but its not the same, still gonna pick a pair up next payday by way of a nostalgia hit.

The 60 year old ex-treasurer of my local running club has a wardrobe full of proper retro Nike trainers in unworn, mint condition. Every time he found a pair which agreed with his feet, he bought five more pairs, just in case they stopped making them!

I persuaded him to put a pair of the first ever Nike Air trainers on ebay (I did it for him - he's a bit of a luddite) and they fetched £190. He's a greedy wee get and he turned up with another five pairs of the same shoes (I think he'd paid about £25 each back in AD82 for them). Given that he hadn't even bought me a pint for selling and posting the last pair I told him to sling his hook.

So far as I know, he still has them all in his wardrobe. Address supplied for the right money 🙂

Some nice trainers listed. I'm not old enough to have owned proper retro ones, but one of my favourites I had in the past would be:

Adidas Original Row, part leather outsole, very well made but the leather soon worn through and they started to let water in.

Adidas Top Ten Lo Soul Power
[img] [/img]
Adidas X-Country, one of the comfiest trainers ever.

However the most worn pair is my Nike Elite Waffle.

(same as these ones but in black/silver)

I really like the look of the Oregon Waffle and will keep an eye for a pair in my size.

I also bought a pair of those Nike Air Zoom Oncore 6.0 for my OH. She used to wear trainers like this but now is all into girly shoes so these are hardly used. They look a bit in Your face and are a bit shiny but hard to get now so might be worth something in the future.

Pfft. They're postively conservative next to mine
