    I had Dunlop Green Flash first time around, in the 70s...got them from Woolies (along with the rest of my school uniform) and used them for PE...all you Johnny Come Latelys ;-)

    Have always been in to trainers until bought my first pair of shoes this year, aged 36 (other than school shoes when a kid - in which case it was clarks commandos) - now don't think that you can beat a decent pair of brown brogues..preferably from Jeffrey West.

    Rothko,

    I like my trainers but they are awful. The only thing they would look good in is a coffin.

    The first Adidas ones were ok, prefer white trainers myself. My Stan Smiths are fooked but I'll still wear them for the next 3 years.
