Lisa Cuddy Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 When I was at school, you'd have got your head kicked in for wearing Puma. Thankfully, a few people tried it and took the attention away from my two-stripes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan09 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Nike trainers = favoured by jobby slingers, says it all really. Adidas ftw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 No they aren't. Nike>>>Puma>>>Adidas Nike :lol::lol: lay aff the glue pal Puma only has the suedes and even they're average at best. Adidas has more variety and nicer trainers. Even NB are better than Nike and most of they're trainers are pretty horrendous as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Diadora Borgs. I have three pairs. Yeah, but they are vintage o.g. One of the best quality trainer leathers ever, kangaroo skin. I have a pair of re-issues and they are horrifying. I won't even wear them. I notice someone has bought hi-tops. Did they come with a free tube of Veet for your chest, Geordie Shore? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Adidas trainers are quite clearly superior to any other brand. It shouldn't even be up for debate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I once had a pair of Mikes. Yes, Mikes. Not Nikes. Mikes. I also had a pair of Nicks. How the hell I never got beaten mercilessly at school is beyond me. Two stripes? Was that your cheap trainers or your tan lines? Erm, trainers. Clearly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 They Boston Super's are nice, the latter pair are awful. What are they? zx710. I quite like them tbh. Might try them with the black laces though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Its surprising what a change of laces can do. I have a pair of Asics GL5s that look much better with black than white. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I remember Nicks! A lassie in my class had a pair. I remember Nicks, I'm pretty sure you got them in Stead & Simpson. The ultimate humiliation back in the mid '80s was ownership of a pair of Panther trainers, which were sold in Woolies. They were black, with red stripes. I can't remember if there were 4 or 2 stripes. Woolies also made an anorak that was similar to the Adidas and Patrick cagoules that were popular at the time. In Montrose anyone who wore Panther trainers or one of those anoraks was branded a "Woolies Casual" and was hounded mercilessly for their satorial faux-pas.

Heart of Northern Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I had Clarks Attackers when I was a nipper !! For kids with broad feet :-) Loved my Diadora Borgs. If memory serves me right there was a gold and also a blue dash pair. Could be wrong. This was around 84 I think. Went well with my Fila BJ blue pinstripe track top from Austin Reeds in Edinburgh. Bloody 3 weeks wages as an apprentice! I went through to Glasgow to get trainers though. Can't remember name of shop. Also honourable mention for trim trabs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Fila BJ track top in mint nick now goes for £300. Seriously! The first Borgs had a signature on the swoosh thingy, then after they didn't. Quality trainer though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Well to put it into perspective I was earning 30£ a week as an apprentice. The Borg was £90 !! Also had loads of the BJ tennis shirts etc. Only place that had them back then was Austin Reed in Edinburgh. The Diadoras I had autograph but can't mind if it was the blue or gold. Had both. Also used to send away to a place called Streetfighter down south. Mail order in they days was a bunch of photos sent to you with hand written prices on the back ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
