Re: adidas trainers

I have had several adidas over the years. Campus (green suede white stripe), Campus (white leather navy stripe), Superstar (white leather navy stripe), Rio Grande (white leather red stripe) and special edition Marathon Olympic (white leather, stripes in the colour of the olympic rings). I've still got the latter.

Re: adidas trainers

I was given a pair in 1970 or 71. I had never seen them before.
Wern't as cool as the green sole Dunlops.

Re: Trainer Trends

I've heard of Roos with a pocket, around in the 1980s though I don't really remember them.

Re: Trainer Trends

Can someone help us out, my husband keeps going on (and on and on and on) about 2 different pairs of trainers he used to have, one was with a tongue that had a velcro pocket on it.
The other had some kind of ball maze game underneath the trainer itself........any ideas??

Re: Trainer Trends

I brought these last year. They are a modern day remake of 1980's Adidas ZX500 trainers.





Anyone who know's anything about British 1980's computing will see they are ZX Spectrum inspired. It's for this reason they came with a memory stick containing a retro themed computer game.

these are classy looking.

now that u mention it i can see the speccy inspired connection.

i wonder how many pairs of these where made and sold.
would have loved a par of these as i had a speccy.
has anyone still got a pair of these.
and can u get them anywhere
like at a retro clothing shop.

Re: Trainer Trends

I remember having Hi-Tec Silver Shaddows (which you can still get - i saw them at the weekend for sale!), Reebok Royale, Hi-Tec Squash shoes, Adidas Barrington Smash, Fila Boots and a pair of Travel Fox.

Three words: Dunlop Green Flash! I bought them for years and years. Not for any fashion reason, obviously. But they were really comfortable and suited my rather wide foot.

I still wear DGF! They're really comfy.

In about 1982/83 Rucanor basketball boots were the must haves:

Re: Trainer Trends

My first fashion trainers that I had were Puma 'Set' (i think thats what they were called). They had thick white soles and the toe area had holes punched in them. I loved them. I'd really like another pair!
