King of Trainers

[ACAPULCO AL]

who's the daddy when it comes to trainers?

for me it's gotta be adidas, accept no substitute. although i do like k-swiss as well

Adidas... but phat farm, etnies, dc, vans, duffs and a few others come a close equal second.

I can never find a pair of addidas that fit comfy. I like the look of them though.

I got a one off pair of addidas that I only have worn about 6 times and I've had them 3 years.

So for me it's addidas for syle, but puma for comfort

Do you have a skateboard/bmx?

Why can't we have multi choice

I wear Puma Ferrari slippers as my dailys and Adidas Monaco race boots when I'm doing track day things

yes/yes

Depends if you really use them and your gait. Supernator or Pronator. I've worn out the outside of a pair of high-end New Balance in less than a month and went to Asic Gels. Brilliant.

I go less on the brand, and buy trainers on whether I like the look of them or not.

Currently have a pair of Puma Ducati trainers, and an old pair of Nike Air max.

Merrells.

I thought standard trainers for anything other than sport were only for walking the pram to Greggs?

[steveisfrowning]

Samba

[Nath316]

on what basis are we voting?

design? popularity? price? variety?

cannot vote on a matter without a definitive reason

Adidas Tuscany GP - I have 4 pairs and when they come up in the right size occasionally on ebay I buy them and store them. I've got 2 pairs in brown suede that are really ****ed and one pair in blue with yellow stripes which I'm sure some leeds fan would pay a small fortune for

I have a pair of Puma Speedcats in pale and dark brown suede but find the fitting very narrow and quite tight so hardly ever wear them despite them looking cool as ****.

Adidas. Specifically Sambas in black leather or blue suede.

[ACAPULCO AL]

glad to see sambas are being mentioned. surely the coolest trainers of all time



@ nath - dead simple criterion: which ones do you want to have on your feet

I think we need another poll... with adidas winning this one by a mile, the question arises...

Which adidas??

Its gazelles and superstars for me. Though I used to have a thing for 'torsions'... the ones with that plastic bar in the sole.

In that case then

Forest Hills. The white ones with gold stripes (re-issue)

I think you need to have nominations in order to be included.

I nominate these:

JD Sports - Adidas Originals Samba Super Suede

I nominate kick then.
