Adidas trainers

[johnmc]

I know there are quite a few advocates of the classic originals on here and rightly so. But do you think they are taking the piss a bit now with the prices such as Gazelles, Campus, Jeans etc at £80 a pop.

Nike trainers are often £100 + but they seems to be more innovation involved in their trainers whereas the originals designs are time honoured with no changes over many years.

Keep an eye out for Adidas Web sales with 20% off codes, was one last week, picked up gazelle £40 :)

Indeed, they are a rip off.

There are the occasional bargains to be had. It's always worth keeping an eye out on mandmdirect, Schuh and the likes for discounts. I got a pair of Chile's for £45 through Schuh. I also got a pair of LA for £30 through mandmdirect.

Yeah sales can be ok but for the desirable colourways they don't tend to reduce them.

(I'm after the gazelle in utility grey)

Was just about to mention mandmdirect.

Shop around and you can still find them at a decent price

If you are on Facebook there are good sites that give discount codes for various websites and show when sales are in etc.

Prices have gone up but think Adidas are taking the piss more with the amount they are bringing out - new style out every week now it seems in all different colours

They know there's a huge market out there i.e. every bloke between 25 and 50 who doesn't wear shoes

I have never thought too deeply about wearing trainers and would quite happily wear a pair of Tesco two stripes as a brand named pair. Those of us old enough to remember when footwear that wasn't a shoe was called a pump not trainers will probably think the same. I do however have sneaky liking for the Adidas Samba I have a pair bought for me by my Daughter last Christmas, just got to find somewhere to wear them I'm not a very casual dresser.
