Trainer Nerdism

I admit it. I am and have always been a trainer nerd.

I have now sold all my collection. Thanks to the invention of eBay, I got my money back on them all after keeping them in boxes for years wasting valuable $$$.

Was Adidas only up to 83. Watched Wargames. Wanted Alley Sheedy's Air Oregons, and didn't swoosh back to stripes.

Oh the shoes I've had,

My first pair of Air's - 1983 Air Epic. £75! Rude.

Had them all, loved most of them for their designs of outrageousness, and subtly alike.

True Trainer heads focus on the details. Like the subtle diff's between an Airmax 95 original and a re-issue - like the embossed psi pressures on the outside of the air bubbles on the originals..... :oops: :roll: :lol:

Oh, those similar but quite different Air Vengance and Vendetta's from the mid eighties....Or the bars of historical fact and achievement on the soles of a Jordan 10. Or that lovely jelly sole on the tongue of a Jordan 11.....


Here's a few of my personal faves mainly form the mid nineties - IMO - the height of Nike design before all the re-issues and the retro coloured Nathan Barley comedy years.

:D

Please note - those Bakin's are re-issues. The original that was recalled after one day of sale under threat of a fatwa, I still had a pair of until recently. :shock:

The Air 180's get a special mention - wearing a pair now

:wink:
 
On a modern note I have a pair of these for dog walking :oops:

(Fricking) Lazer etched goretex - as waterproof as wellies ....... well to the heal at least!

I liked Nike Legend around 84/85. Comfy as hell. Had some 95s in a limited edition a few years back and they were mint. Will get a photo as they are in my wardrobe.
 
I am a Nike fan. & love the Air Max style.

this is a small dent off my collection.

unfortunately like my bikes i sold loads to pay for house deposit.
