Best trainers ever.

[Bill Walker]

I take it you don't wear clothes, eat meat or consume any by products of animals, as you don't like exploitation, what a fella

Well my froggy friend, the word is.... Ethical
Yes Im vegetarian
I live in shorts and Tee shirts all year from my favourite store, most stuff is made here.

Im not preaching to anybody, people can do whatever they think is right imo, just dont like these brands and the way they exploit poor people.

I would NEVER buy any Adidas (or the like) product.

And besides the ethics, they are a fucking massive rip off.

I've never got into the Adidas thing. Had a couple of pairs in my 20s but I never really liked them on.
They always looked better in pictures or on the shelf than on my feet.
Horses for courses I suppose.

Very nice, no doubt made in some sweatshop in China or Vietnam where people and children are forced to work 14 hours a day for a barely livable wage to maximize the enormous profits of companies like Adidas and Nike.

AND they sponsor the scum.
No thanks.

Some would call it sportswashing

In my opinion, the best looking trainers EVER! Adidas Ardwick.

That's a right shitty colour! Hope we don't have an away shirt out of that palette.

 

[dickie davies]

No. The ones i have are just the same but with natural sole. They forgot to put 'ardwick' on the tongue...

Yeah these are right up there! Great pair of trainers.

They were released by Oi Polloi just after they released the Oi Polloi green Baracuta G-9 in honour of Baracuta originally being a Manchester company.

I never get any of these great trainers though as they only ever go up to 12s.
