placidcasual wroteI just don't get the buzz from trainers anymore. Surprised you do Ted being in the game. 40+ blokes in trainers are like old birds in mini skirts a bit anachronistic or if you please mutton as lamb. You know when something just doesnt look right. When I go to the football and see all these 40-50 year old fellas in Adidas Dublin etc. Don't you all remember those old blokes in the 70's dressed as teddy boys hanging round the market or the local WMC. Complete with cheap Tom, beetle crushers, drape jackets and quiffs with massive bald patch. Thats what I think about todays middle aged "dressers". And the new breed the teenagers and kids coming through why dont they invent something themselves around it. I mean they need to be looking forward to new and exciting sub cultures. Thats what I like about it all. The fact you were into something most didnt really understand unless you were in the know. Well that's what I feel like. Mostly wear a pair of Clarks (not pasties), converse pumps or my LL Bean Moccason boots when the weather turns inclement. The Brashers come out when the snow and slush does. Although I'll have a shufty in Size this lunch time :) Blinded and confused by the walls of Adidas originals crowding my vision
sigh .... Mutton dressed as lamb :lol: we need the likes of Ad, KW, Henderson and Cuts chipping in here. I don't have a 'proper' 9-5 job so I can wear what I want, trainers are comfy, and to me look good. Im not into 'modern' ones. Gazelles, Kegler, and mainly runners as they're comfy. Not as trying to look like its 1984 ... I'll be wearing them when I'm 60.As for getting them coverered in shit, piss, sick ... Im not precious about them. Dirty = washing machine anyway, you just said you wear Converse, not much more retro that that is there :D
