Shoes

Nah what haha they’re just an all black trainer! They’re as basic in a good way as you can get.

They look like the shit Slazenger shoes you used to be able to get from the market for a fiver. But apparently cost £75 somehow?

I dont get fashion/old man shouts at clouds…

I would personally fila cunt in them.

Yes. Not at that price though.

Plain all black shoe. Good silhouette for skating. Cupsole. I’ve skated Reebok Club C’s that look pretty much the same.

There’s been some shockers in this thread recently.

Skated some of the Fila F13s recently and they were excellent. They’re always on sale at JD and places like that.

Those are much better.

Remind me of a cross between the dunks with straps and a Vans Stage 4 which I would kill to get another pair of (UK9 in the Grey Gilbert Crockett colourway, let me know)

I’ve got some fila F13s in bright blue suede, they’re amazing. Never worn them.

I remember having a pair in the £5-shoes days, but they were two different sizes.

Skating in Filas you say? Back in the 90’s you say?

It still astounds me that previously cheapo bully-target shoes are fetching silly prices these days.

I googled Nicks the other week some are priced at £250. Us dossers never knew we were stood on a goldmine.

Yep, we were all at it. That and bleaching them, pulling off stripes, colouring black ones white and white ones black…

When I was in primary school in the mid 90’s, anyone caught wearing New Balance was promptly ridiculed by Adidas wearing 8 year olds. They were trainers for ‘scratters’

I had neither FYI, I had CICA’s from Clark’s but luckily no one knew what they were

My gran was assistant manager at a Clarks so 90% of my youth was spent stomping about in those. I did get a pair of hitek one Christmas but they were a legit good shoe they had a low cut dunk look about them.

Always wanted a pair of Silver Shadow’s:

They might be the ones.

At the risk of permanent exclusion; and way off the vulc v cupsole debate; does anyone here fuck with handmade shoes? Thinking of getting some Loake/Trickers school shoes. A mate has two pairs and swears he’ll be wearing them in 30 years. But £270-400 is a lot for shoes.
