BigMartyn86 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi-Tec Silver Shadow - The Daddy of shit trainers Decent looking but woeful trainers. The joys of cross country running and then having to clean them with a toothbrush for a kit muster will always be my memory of the silver shadows. A nightmare to keep clean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave.j Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I had the boot version of those Troops. Had a fuckin medal buckled on the front of each boot. Wore them with a pair of black Joe Bloggs jeans covered in white stitching and a red denim jacket or green Chippie jacket. Loved a Benzini top too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's everyone's thoughts? Please don't buy the Spezials. They are fckin shit. What a boring shoe. Shitty gum sole, crap T bar on the toe. Na, I'm out. Get the Trimm Star. Eta, if you are a size 9... Get these! http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=261697562487 Edited December 12, 2014 by dave.j 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's everyone's thoughts? They're all good but you have little or no chance of getting any of them as they're all rare as hen's teeth now unless you are prepared to pay stupid money. Haven't seen the Spezials anywhere in that colourway (London) for a while, the green Trimm Star you get on ebay from time to time depending on your size but you'll pay £100 and the Stockholms re-issue are not the best quality and expect to pay £140 on e-bay. Dave is spot on, you can get a superb looking pair of adidas (Rekord, for example) that most folk won't have heard of for half the price of the Stockholms everyone is wearing just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I had the boot version of those Troops. Had a fuckin medal buckled on the front of each boot. Wore them with a pair of black Joe Bloggs jeans covered in white stitching and a red denim jacket or green Chippie jacket. Loved a Benzini top too. Benzini! What a blast from the past. I may be straying off topic here but that has me reminiscing about lost labels from the late '80s, early '90s. I'm thinking of Soviet, Ton-Sur-ton, Sonneti etc. Kleim trackies were considered cool for a while as well... A mate of mine spent most of the early '90s wearing black jeans, a black John Richmond Destroy jacket, black Caterpillar shoes and gleaming white Hi-Tec sports socks. My memory may be deceiving me, but I seem to recall that pretty much every teenage bird in Montrose back then cut around in one of these... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spezials are in Scott's and the other two are on eBay albeit for stupid money. Definitely getting the Spezials and the Rekords just seem a tad boring imo. Probably just going to leave the Stockholms but I'm really liking the Trimm - Stars so I'm probably just going to pick them up or, as you say, get another that you don't see everyone and their dog wearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Anyone like Puma's? Some pretty cool Puma trainers back in the '80s. Puma Dallas are as smart as anything Adidas have done IMO. They completely lost their way in the '90s with that Puma Disc shite and those awful trainers with the straps. Don't think they've ever really recovered from that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benzini, Naf Naf, Eclipse and Moschino all had some cool stuff in the 90s. I loved MA2 bomber jackets. And coloured jeans, like white, cream or green. Maybe with a backwards Kangol bunnet. ETA: I remember padded Timberland tartan jackets, Cat boots and Kickers all being pretty big as well. Seeing a lot of the yoof now wearing Kickers and Pod so I guess they're back again now. ETA (again): United Colours of Benetton and colour changing tees and stuff from the Sweater Shop as well. Right, I'm stopping now as I'm even boring myself with my reminiscing.

TheScarf Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just bought a pair of white Onituksa Tigers for £65. The ones with the blue and red stripes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I had a pair of those Silver Shadows as a kid, shameful stuff Comfiest trainers I ever owned were a pair of Nike Air Tuned Siroccos back in late 90s I think. These days I have a couple of pairs of navy sambas that are falling apart. A pair of Adidas Zx something or other that are about two year old and a pair of Nikes that my dad bought me that I have never worn as they are horrible. My current footwear of choice for the winter is actually a hillwalking trainer/boot type thing that I got from Millets. Not cool at all but comfy and durable against the elements. I think that's a sign of being old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because our rival gang used to cut about in red-arsed Benzini jeans that we considered them the clothing of stanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Was actually looking for a Kleim on Ebay not so long ago. Seen a lot of Ellesse trackys that are similar but the brand has been bought by a 3rd party like Tacchini a while back and all the new stuff produced is pretty shite quality. Saw a boy in the gym with a pair of Travel Fox this morning. Id wear a pair of those again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
