Your most favorite ever trainers

My favourite pair of basketball boots, a fine pair of Jordan 12’s

The legendary Air Max 95

Vans Old Skool Low-Top, I wore a pair of there until they could be used no more. Worked nicely on the bike too.

And finally an Adidas Superstar in brown and beige, a classic design.

I love trainers.

Seeing as this is allegedly a cycling forum, these are worthy of note

A set of SPD’s that were actually acceptable to wear off the bike. Wore them til they fell apart, bought another pair. Wore them til they fell apart, bought another pair. Wore them til they fell apart, bought another pair….

Good grief. I remember when the world seemed obsessed with trainers circa 1988. What sad pathetic times those were.

Binners, A good point, and for a similar reason there are worth a mention:

Answer Flatfoots, I think I got through 3 pairs before going over to disco slippers.

Lunge, good call. That’s what I used to wear prior to the 661’s. Worthy of note indeed 😀

Mcmoonter

Green adidas rom +1. In fact am wearing a pair as I type 😆

Agree on the Flatfoots, especially the blue ones!

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.

I’m a massive Nike fan and own and from time to time still wear all of the following:

Air Max 87

Air Max 90

Air Max 95

Air Max 97

Air Huarache

Air 180

Air Trainer SC

Air Jordan III

Air Jordan IV

Air Jordan V – These are my all time favourites, I’ve got 4 pairs in different colours

Air Jordan VI

Air Jordan Spizike

Seeing the other Agassi Tech Challenges earlier in the thread, I loved these in my tennis playing days although sadly don’t own a pair today:

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

Suprised no one has mentioned the classic Converse All Star yet.

Really like these and will not throw them out even though the last on them makes my feet cry

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

Still in box unworn but my favorites still…

Adidas fanboy here.

For schoolboy coolness and cachet.

Well it was the 1980 and white boots were all the rage. 😆

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:

Found a pic of the Huaraches

Forgot about Nike Air Rift and the ‘Camel Toe’ look. I’ve got a pair of those too.

Houns, very nice, I’ve never seen that colourway before. How long ago did you get those?

Blimey, must be 17 years ago? Still trying to find the Air Max colourway

Found them, the torquoise pair

Air Jordan IV . . . . about £70 in the late 80’s, still remember handing over the cash!!

these in burgundy with a beige stripe from the puma outlet shop – 15 quid. Wish I’d bought more than 1 pair

these from a closeouts shop in florida – bloody good mtb shoes too

not called kings for nothing

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!

Air Jordan IV . . . . about £70 in the late 80’s, still remember handing over the cash!!

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.

I love these at the moment, great for slacklining too 😀

People keep asking me if the laces are real!

Cheers Gachet, wish i still had them.

Don’t worried failedengineer i now own Church’s myself

Jeeze what a load of tat! Who’duv thunk a load of STWers had such appalling taste, eh? 😉

My fave pair of trainers have to be a pair of these, in white + black:

Probbly rubbish for any sports, but incredibly comfy.

Binners = Imelda Marcos of trainers 🙄

Dribbles………..

They look very slutty, Bagpuss.

EDIT: (That’s a Good Thing, BTW….) 😳

I know I know they’re not trainers…. BUT

Someone on here…. mentioning no names

Used to design funky trendy shoes and got me some hot pink converse style trainers he designed himself *smiles proudly*

Quite sensible for you, those

you love it biatch x

Yes I know 😀

Sooo comfy , but the soles were made of cheese!

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!!!

Y3 Trainers – ewwwwwwwwwww.
