Shoes

Been done before to some extent, I just wanna reminisce about shoes here. Feel free to add to the shoe love.

The Nike Air Jordan XI.

A defining moment for the Jordan collection. Released in 1990/91 and coinciding with the Bulls first championship. Featuring rubber tongue, clear sole and lace locks, one of Nike's best selling BBall shoes of the 90's, and re-released in 2000 as part of the retro style. (Air Jordans are now up to model 24)

The Nike Air Max

Nike revolutionised the running shoe when it introduced the Air Max in 1987. In 1995 they were the first shoe to have heel and toe air cushioning with the Air Max '95

The Nike Air Pegasus

Released 1989. I don't know anything about them I just love these shoes.

Nike Air Base III

Released 1992. I had a pair before anyone else at school, and thought they were awesome shoes.

Adidas Campus

Adidas Gazelle

More a European thing. I was introduced to the Adidas in the early 90's, and didnt really like them too much. My uncle is a massive Adidas wearer, and Ive started wearing the Campus. Very comfy.

They are ugly now but I used to love the K-Swiss Si-18s.

I do have a pair of green and black Adidas Campus and a pair of black and white suede pumas, I forget what they are called.

I just bought a pair of white orange and blue Asics Kanabarra 2s. Asics are my fav running shoes.

I have about 5 pairs of K-Swiss trainers and an Adidas pair.

So either of them.

5 out of six pair of shoes I buy, are Lacoste.

Really love the brand. Not only regarding shoes.

Mate, I was just looking for a photo of a pair of Samba, but couldn't find any with the white toe end. A cracking pair of trainers in the early '80s. Funnily, I was even thinking of buying a pair the other day if I can track them down. Repping your good taste.

keep seeing the leather samba reduced to £25-30, yet at other times £60.

the forest hills are the ones for summer though, got them for £30 and same night on ebay some went for £150. always wanted them in the 80's but couldnt afford them as they were the 1st one to break the £30 mark, at the time trainers were around the £16 bracket.
