Monster Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Gazelle OG are as narrow as f**k compared to Gazelle II . Gazelle Indoor. I'm talking about the ones in CW that I have. It's all JD Sports shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Where's the best place for adidas shoes? I've got all of mine from JD and size? but JD's selection is shite and I've completely gone off size after they fucked me over when buying the Stockholms (genuinely a minute away from purchasing then the site crashed). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the high street it's more or less jd sports or size. There's also Bank, Office and USC but they're all heavily promoting the Geordie Shore style of fashion these days, which to me looks like a cross between an American Teenage Jock look and shaving your chest to look like a woman. In footwear terms this tends to mean they are heavily promoting plimsolls like Converse or Vans, and hi-tops like Nike blazer. Best way is online: Try End, Main Source and Hanon. ^These, plus e-bay, Footlocker, Trainerstation, Crooked Tongues, Offspring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with JD is any store i have went in (Ayr,Glasgow,Manchester)and asked for a half size the staff have laughed and said you cant get half sizes, they still refuse to accept that you can even when you show them the tongue of the pair you are wearing that show they are indeed a half size.

They're just badly trained. Pointless asking them any trainer-related question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Best stock of adidas I found was in Scotts Menswear. End are the best for pre-orders - guaranteed to get a pair at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 eBay for me. Really drill down and search global and you'll find an idiot who doesn't know how to sell something. Next thing you know you're picking up a pair of BNWT trainers for a steal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 That's all fine and well if they actually send them. I've been done once on a pair of Gerd Muller. Sellers profile deleted, money refunded by eBay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Comfiest ever I've had were probably those much-maligned Huaraches from the 90s. I had this pair. Edit: I still remember wearing them to PE for the first time. There was a palpable pause in the air while folk assessed in their own head,s and collectively, whether I should get slagged for them. I was well pleased with them (a 50% sale in Stirling's Intersport is the only reason my mum tolerated the idea of buying them), but I knew they were risky. A big sigh of relief when smiles broke out all round! The closest I've had to most comfortable since were a pair of Adidas Neo from a few years back... dark green with red laces. No idea of the name, but wish I'd bought two pairs. I wear them sparingly now.. My current favourites are these: I seem to pretty much always buy in dark greens and browns these days. No idea why. Boringness I guess. Edited December 18, 2014 by milton75 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Sorry mate but that colour... I've got two pairs of Cons, a pair of Adidas, and some Pumas all in practically that colour. I have no real excuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Had these at school but they were all black with gold logos. Also remember having kickers, rockport, ellesse boots and champion boots. Champion used to be a great make, had a really nice reversible t-shirt from them too. Like this If anyone knows if you can still get them like they give me a shout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Seems like the kind of brand Sports Direct may promote. Nah, Champion was cool for school. Along with brands not seen now like Chipie,McKenzie and Naff Naff. Also Kangol hats but that was a no no after an entire village started wearing them to school and got called Kangol heids. Troop were considered decent along with SPX, BK and Nike. Adidas were pretty much non existent for fashion shoes in the 90s where I was. Also huge tongues sticking out was cool for some reason. It was Fife though so probably not the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 You still see the odd Kangol hat at T In The Park, normally wore by a fat guy with extreme sunburn watching Ocean Colour Scene. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you aware of the urban myth doing the rounds at the time that Troop were made by the KKK and if you removed the sole there was an image of a gollywog with a crucifix through it's head? At least I think it was an urban myth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
