Hi-tec squash.

Both are a classy shoe, what colours were you looking at?

Well the navy blue dragon's or just anything random in the gazelle. Not sure how much I like the gazelle's though.

Hmmm, maybe just buying for the sake of it!

***Mon Dieu4*** · 15-01-2014 04:46 PM

Id go Dragon, there are not many of them on the go compared to Gazelles

you sound like me, my trainer choices are cut down big time as i only wear Adidas

Only ever Adidas trainers for me.

Love Dragons and Gazelles but got a few pairs of Vespas as well and they are a fantastic trainer, probably my new favourites.

***sleeping giant*** · 16-01-2014 04:45 PM

Got Green and White Gazelles for Christmas.
Gantin :-(

***Mon Dieu4*** · 16-01-2014 05:35 PM

At the minute Im liking Spezial, Beckenbaur and the New Bamba (not making that up) ones are pretty tidy

***.Sean.*** · 16-01-2014 08:57 PM

Love Adidas. Got quite a collection. Samba's, Gazelle II, 2 pairs of OG's, 2 pairs of Trimm Stars, Malmo's, Gazelle indoor's', custom Tobacco's and London's.

Alternating between Diadora Trident, New Balance 576 and Superga pumps at the minute.

This thread has inspired me to look out the last pair of adidas I bought, a pair of purple and yellow gazelle skates that had long been relegated to the lowest level.

Ten minutes of scrubbing and they were back to their best. Whiter than white sole and plush upper...nothing like the other plimsoles I've had from adidas. Comfiest I've worn.

If you can find them I'd highly recommend them as they look the business as well as being tough as old boots.

**Barman Stanton** · 17-01-2014 06:36 AM

Sporting a pair of zx8000s at the moment. Gotta love Adidas.

Bamba's were out about 4 years ago or more, I got a nice brown pair then. Even at that they were re-issues of the originals so they've been out at least twice before.

I have Samba Super (3 pairs), the "UK" Samba which are really comfy, Trimm Trab, Trimm Star, couple of pairs of Handball Spezials, couple of pairs of Montreal, Rom, Beckenbauer, Forest Hills, Malmo, Shot and even have a nice pair of Y3's which aren't Adidas Originals obviously.

I really want a pair of Samba's that you can only get in America, just need to find someone over there to get them for me!

I am not sure about Gazelle's and don't really like Campus'. Also not sold on Tobacco or London's. Munchen's are just the same as Trimm Trabb's which i'm not a huge huge fan of.

I'm just being fussy I suppose.

I really like the Trimm Star's so might get another pair of them while i'd definitely buy another pair of Shot if they come back out!

I'm going back over to Florida in the summer and I'll be going nuts when it comes to buying trainers. Some amazing stores over there along with some heavy discounts, coupled with a generous baggage allowance of 2 x 23kg on the return journey, might have to take some orders with me ;-)

I've always wanted a pair of Malmo's but can't find them anywhere :(

Keep an eye on Size, they usually have the best adidas originals.

My ones are purple and yellow affairs!

I find mine quite tight though.

All adidas originals seem to be tight, small fitting?

On that anyone wanna buy 7.5 red and yellow gazelles worn once for 55 delivered?

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 18-01-2014 05:15 AM

"Office Shoes" have a trainer sale on just now, some decent bargains to be had. (cannae post a link via moby).

I've got a pair in my cupboard, he says rather smugly

I also have a rather rare pair of adidas jeans which haven't seen the light of day for a while. Other notable sneakers in there are blue munchen, green trim trabbs and diadora Borg elite (not the jd sport reissues) along with a couple of pairs of gazelles in green/white and the reverse in leather.

I very rarely wear trainers these days and much prefer a pair of clarks desert boots.

**BarneyK** · 18-01-2014 09:40 AM

I'm quite liking the look of these Puma http://www.jdsports.co.uk/product/puma-suede/129350/

**BarneyK** · 18-01-2014 09:45 AM

If I quite like these http://www.office.co.uk/view/product...,22/2100222109 should I be seeking help? Maybe some kind of intervention...

***HibbyAndy*** · 18-01-2014 09:57 AM

Hibs green Firetrap trainers, Bees knees!

I was always a big fan on the Adidas Antelope. Hard to get a hold of them these days.

**Barney McGrew** · 19-01-2014 07:41 PM

There's a cracking place up in Aberdeen that does some great finds, including some really nice Adidas Marathon colourways and New Balance pre orders available just now. And no, I'm not on commission I've just got some good stuff off them.

**Paperboy** · 22-01-2014 06:07 AM

Going to Orlando later in the year. I'll be hitting the outlets and a shop called Journeys with force. That Journeys had a sale on recently where decent Adidas were down to $40.

until then blue and pink Trimm Trabbs for me. I agree they seem to be a wee bit tight do Originals. Spent a couple of weeks walking about with a limp!

Mines are mint. Had them on once as they'll get ruined with out ****** weather!

You'll pick up a pair on ebay if you're willing to spend, ~£175 unless you fancy waiting on a re-issue!

No chance

was rummaging through my sneakers and it's amazing what you find. Adidas boston super, nastasie master, puma g.villas specials.

**sambajustice** · 23-01-2014 12:49 PM

I'm wearing my malmo's to the gym tonight, shouldn't really be.

I hated them at first, tight! Got consigned to the cupboard for the 2 years or something. I've grown really fond of them recently though and they fit better, must've just broken them in!

That's the pair in the below link... Smert
