they are reet comfy
and u can get them for £12 at JJB
yes
this is what I'm thinking
cheap, comfortable, and worn with a pair of flared jeans they'll look good too. Townies will stop giving me respect for my greenflashes (which 12 months ago they were looking at like i was wearing babies on my feet)
.
Hi - tec
Is there a worse make of trainer?
British Knights?
Patrick...
were crap.
So are Admiral, in fact anyone in the past who made the Argyle kits.
A bad workman
always blames his tools.
Can't be helped...
if the only thing you have to drill a hole with is a chocolate orange.
Mercury
...
ok wrighty
because I'm feeling generous...
what's your suggestion for cheap and good trainers? (not dunlop or converse, because every fucker has them)
have you actually tried wearing
babies? They are this years fur
hi techs
are actually really good, I had a pair of those but actually wore them to play squash..
pfft
conformist ;)
Circa AL50
http://www.kateskates.co.uk/pics/images/KatesKates/AL50BrownS.jpg
so comforty and fairly cheapO online i think?!?
i got these:
http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/pu/puma-puma-cat.jpg
for a tenner from tkmaxx. except mine have blue instead of purple and DAY GLO PINK instead of green.
i love them. LOVE.
I get all my trainers from my friend
who gets a new pair every month. Does this make me a fashion victim?
an athletes foot
victim perhaps
Cheap shoes are so gay
You only need one pair of shoes and they last you ages. So buy expensive ones. Buy nike. They're anti-anti-conformist which is like conformity just good.
Actually
buy vans
Vans
fall apart, well, that's probably coz I wore them so much. Actually, do get Vans coz they're really really cool, but not necessarily cheap.
I thought you guys were
talking about vans, as in, vrum vrum vans.
nice
you could also try army and navy shops - they usually do old school gutties (that's what we called them) for five british pounds :)
Does anybody like these?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/adidas-Carlo-Gruber-Trainers-VERY-RARE_W0QQitemZ5457569581QQcategoryZ53080QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
Quite pricey, but I think they're pretty cool
oh goodness
yes, there is a shop in glasgow with loads of them though - i think they were 50 quid. Nicer colors aswell.
woah!
they are like massive 80's spaceboots
I was
going to post this very same thread. You bastard.
I need some new trainers. I wear my Stan Smiths everywhere. I need some variety, ie - more than one pair of fucking trainers.
So. Yeah. Recommend some (preferably black) trainers. I did have some Macbeths, that were quite nice but didn't last that long. Yes.
ADIDAS SHELL TOES
http://www.shoes.com/productimages/shoes_is02372.jpg
you'll be totally ghetto.
I can't wear
shell toes. I have a mate who has worn nothing else since 1999, and I would get accused of copying him. And I don't want to copy him. He's not cool.
And Macbeth trainers are not emo! They're really comfy. Honest. I ain't an emo. No way.
macbeth trainers?
you EMOer.
There's no need for trainers
In a world with converse. Or any other shoe for that matter. Paticuarly trainers. They're evil
trainers > shoes
comfier, wear them anytime to go anywhere, cant beat a nice pair of white trainers
you're wrong
converse are evil. and they are no sort of shoe to wear in the cold, wet british weather.
sort yrself out, boy.
converse can only be worn by
people in the not very exclusive club of people with thin feet.
i've had 2 pairs of green flash and they both lasted me the whole of a month. can't beat a good ol' pair of k-swiss tongue twisters.
Nah
Converse naturally make yr feet look thin.You just have to tie them up REAL tight.
hi tec
silver shadows are THE shit. amazing running shoes, my dad did the marathon in them....
What, he did
THE marathon in them? ;-)
aha
and aha.
Exactly
And that's why I love 'em, them and some nikes are the only trainers that'll really fit my very narrow feet.
Yeah but
To be contradictory and pedantic, converse are trainers anyway
Fei Yue
Kung-Fu Trainers.
£12.99
Lightweight.
The preferred choice of the Shaolin Monk.
what more could you want?

:-O
AWESOME!!
I'll PM you the link
if you wanna get some. I'm guarded about my sources. I can't have everyone rockin' my style.
Bamos, they come in black too.
I have both colours. I rule.
http://www.taichifinder.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=780the power of google
Dagnammit!
*sigh* I s'pose it was only a matter of time...
;o)
Quick everyone!!
Let's all get some. I'm getting black, who's with me?!
No Bobby, not you!
Anyone but you!
Ha ha
It's too late! They're on order! In your face.
We should
all get the same trainers. That would look lovely.
What?
You mean like The Shaolin Monks?
We can be called The Colin Monks.
Yes
What a team. We could go round playing darts and fighting crime. Or whatever it is that real monks do. I don't really know.
Me neither.
They wear cool trainers though. I'm gonna get me a pair.
or...
LOLin Monks.
Ha!
they are £14.99 on that site.
I paid a tenner a pair last time, 'cos I bought 4 pairs. SUCKERS!
£14.99 is hardly a rip-off though, is it?
£14.99? Rip-off. I'm just going to wear socks.
Pffft.
You're no Shoalin Monk, are you? Shoalin Monks get DEALS on shoes.
I get 'em here

hehe
cheers darcy
I refuse,
and I mean flat out refuse, to pay over £13.75 for a pair of trainers. I'm not getting them now, I don't care whether the Showering Monks wear them.
White Basketball boots rule
Wear them to a load of gigs so they get nice and fucked up, and wear them with cool jeans.
Nike Air Force One's are awesome. I've got a pair of Adidas Kareem Abdul Jabbar on at the moment.
Haha
I'm gonna get some, do they do them in pink?
Showering
monk trainers that is..
If they do
Darcy has probably got a pair. I'd ask him.
Nah
only white and black I'm afraid.
Pink would be pretty cool though or red, yeah red would be ACE!
My mate Sir Ewan David Eason wears those pumps
The black judo shoes are pretty cool too. Not as nice as my French canvas espadrilles a la Paul Weller in the Style Council. In the summer months, I buy pairs of white lace-up plimsoles from an old-timers' department store that does schoolwear. They are about 5 pounds a pair! The Fred Perry/Comme des Garcons plimsoles are quite nice.
If they had red
I would buy them. I like red trainers.
they do red espadrilles.
Chris budget used to wear red adidas with velcro.
you cant go wrong
with reebok classic
