[Closed] what trainers are people wearing these days?

So what's good/cool/not been designed by someone who took every crayon out the box?

*Patronising mode engaged*

[IMG] [/IMG]

More seriously, I have no idea what is cool, but I have had 2 pairs of these and will buy a third even though they have been superseded several times. They're the comfiest thing in the world ever, it's like walking on a loaf of cheap white bread.

Find a pair that you find aesthetically pleasing, fit and that you can afford.
Buy those & stop worrying about what other people think/are wearing. 😀

Alternatively, ask your mum to pick you some up next time she's in the supermarket. 😉

New Balance 410s in black and Vans Low Cabs.
But then I'm a late 40s architect with difficult glasses and a tendency to wear a lot of black.

I'm still wearing black DCs

All the cool kids wear Supra. I've got a couple of pairs, pretty comfy and make me irresistible to women.

Vans "plimsoles". As I have for the last 30 years or so. I'm still 12 really. 😉

converse, normally lows, worn with jeans or shorts

Jordan 5 black met's,Jordan xi bred's,fleece lined skate hi vans and a pair of £17 quid vans La cripta dos for work.

Inov8's. bombproof and comfy and not clown coloured.well, some of them aren't.

Campers - so comfy and cool designs...

I've just bought some of these in the Red & Black;

I want them for playing Softball but they're a Trail Running Shoe. They're really comfortable and cost £32 from Sports Direct.

I only wear pristine white Adidas with dark blue stripes, or black converse all star high.

Both are classic all time casual footwear.

[img] http://i1.ztat.net/large/ME/11/2A/00/71/02/ME112A007-102 @1.1.jpg[/img]Not really a trainer as such but I've been wearing these for years. I've now got 5 or 6 pairs in different colours

Still skate shoes or converse, as I have for 15 years. It's getting trickier, but the more subtle, non gopping designs are available, just harder to find.

I've just bought these:

I also wear these:

I have a pair of canvas plimmy things from Next too, which a super comfy and look good with jeans. I think this is the first period in about 25 years that I don't have a pair of white trainers sitting in the bottom of my wardrobe.

Merrel's but they aren't really trainers. I've got some Onitsuka Tigers which are comfy but only on warm days as they are a bit thin.

DC still do some nice variations on black skate shoes.

Alot of middle aged replies here.... Vintage re-release are where its at, Air Max 1's are always a banker. Asics have some nice new stuff. Avoid beige and outdoor types. Go bold and brash 🙂

Air Max 1

This!

Also Nike Blazers

Alot of middle aged replies here....

+1

It's like an article in Grazia titled "What all the IT crowd are wearing...."

Currently these.

[img] [/img]

Not trainers though.. I wear trainers (or as I call them, running shoes) for running and at the gym.

Vans. Just like always.

This atrocity exhibition makes me glad the noble shoemakers of Northampton have crafted their skills to provide a shoe for every occasion.

I'm still doing the whole skate shoe thing. Can't see me changing anytime soon either.
Currently wearing some DC mx monster versaflex in black and lime flavour. Comfy as hell.

My first trip to the land of the skate style shoe - price was right (free) comfy really, have non yellow laces too. Decided they looked better than the black/purple ones. May also be useful for riding into town (clipped for everything proper)

Etnies number mids and etnies skyline rvm mid (waterproof).. Sort of bmx / skate shoes but very comfy and grip well on flats too.

have a look in sportsdirect ( and online site ) too, if you like TKMaxx 🙂

Supra or something from the Vans Vault or OTW range, New Balance if you want something tranery. My collection also includes Cons, Cons x Stussy, Lakai, Globe, DVS, Circa, Emerica, Osiris, Losers etc, not quite middle aged yet.

Trickers or Cheaney, for the budget conscious there's Barker or Loake.

Trainers aren't cool. Neither is worrying about what's cool and what isn't.

Get something you like. You can identify such things.. can't you?

Adio are my favourite, some good ones in the Nike 6.0 range as well.

nike air uptown sensation, custom.
Nike air jordan 12, custom.
Vans, since 1985. Scour the web cuz i still want to pay 20quid rather than £40.

Inov8's. bombproof

I wish 🙄

Dread to think ow much cash Inov8 have had from my wallet. 👿

[img] [/img]

£30 from rollersnakes

whatever £30 Asics Sports Direct are doing. Or Chucks.

I always assumed your taste in trainers was locked into whatever you loved when you were about 18, and never changed from that point onwards.

So on that basis...

Old School Adidas all the way. Only the colours change

try size.co.uk in the clearance get some ace old skool adidas and nikes for less than £40

+1 for the old skool adidas lovers!!! Cnt beat beckenbauers or zx750s !!!!

[img] [/img]

Nike Vortex vintage

I always assumed your taste in trainers was locked into whatever you loved when you were about 18, and never changed from that point onwards.

Not for me, otherwise Id be wearing shoes that indicate myself as being a depraved drunken drug addled wreck.

True for me.

I have a rather large collection of Adidas Superstar II's
All in use, but rarely as I have a lot of them.
I have owned no other type for the last 30 years 🙂

went through a phase when i was a lot younger of buying ridiculously expensive and fancy trainers...

reasonably comfy but would always fall apart...the shocks needed Kashima coating i reckon...

i went through 6 pairs of these in six months (all returned for replacements)...the air cushion would always come loose and start to squeak...

but during this same period i had many pairs of DC shoes and many other pairs that were good...these are my current faves

I've got a couple of pairs of those too treaclesponge. Old school and uber-comfy!!!

Yep cant rate them enough. Smart enough for work, scruffy enough for the pub. Perfect!

I'm on my second pair of these [img] [/img]

really comfortable and light.

I also have a pair of these that get worn for rare nights out where shoes aren't needed...
[img] [/img] paid far too much for them though in a French ski resort.

I seem to be able to make a pair of trainers last at least 4 years.

The Reebok Classic

More a beaten to death pair of these

Only Tigers will do. Jesus, some of the suggestions folks- how old are you?!!!

Loving those Reebok pump badboys however nowadays you need to be young to rock around in them retro-bad thangs (skinny jeans etc).

As a trend setter I wear this ... because someone suggested that Clarks are lame so here I go to become metrosexual. 😆

Bought from TK Maxx for £40 ... Keen Ambler Mesh and yes it is in red (actually for £40 at this quality I would wear purple if force but not pink). Beautiful! Very comfortable. Not exactly trainer for running.

http://www.salomon.com/uk/product/kowloon.html

Comfy and not loud.

Salomon XA 3D's for me been thruough a lot together now need another pair!

Nike Paul Rodriguez Vs - simple skate shoe style, I like them:
[img] [/img]

Currently have 5 different styles of Merrells on the go.

For those who like the subtle, unadorned type of skate shoe, I bought a pair of these today:

Vans Churchill, £45 from Schuh, in Bath. My favourite type of skate shoe.

wake up and smell the coffee sinners!

REEBOK PUMPS!!! ^^ 🙂

To paraphrase Zefod Beeblebrox, I'm so unhip it's amazing my legs don't fall off, but I have been wearing these almost daily for 3 years and they are still super comfy and hardly showing signs of wear, still waterproof too!

North Face Hedgehogs.

For the love of Pete, won't somebody think of the children?
I do like the Vans and the Etnies that passtherizla posted up, very nice, those.
