So what brand of TRAINERS do you prefer?

Let's see......

Nike Air Avlord II "trainers"

Nike Total 90 "football" cleats

Nike 3/4 Shark "football" cleats

Nike Air Uptempo "basketball"

Nike Landslide "after-sports sandals"

Adidas for me, i used to like the Adidas Kick Trainers in the eighties..

for running I used to wear New Balance a lot cuz they made a wider shoe. at least the ones shipped over here were. I do a ton of bicycling and use toe clips so for casual over here I like Van's. My comfy faves.

I love my Pumas, i also wear adidas from time to time, puma mostro's are very comfortable

All of you should put in for commercial endorsements. The commitment shown here...

Don't you know that Michael Moore did an expose of Nike's exploitation of the poor?

Oh, that's right, you do know...

are trainers? I thought that was what 10 year old girls who didn't fit into a size AA bra used instead? What is so wrong with sneakers or tennis shoes anyway - aside from the fact that you don't play tennis in them?

Has to be Nike (sorry Blue and Cake) here in Oregon, the state and school where it originated. Use 'em for casual wear, along with playing basketball and some running. Never a problem here.

I think Don's a big Nike fan as well..........

Had some Nike Wally Waffles ,and Bert Brewin as my first NAME branded traniees(who was Bert Brewin???and who was Wally Waffle for that matter??American sportsmen I presume. Basketballers ???)I am curently in Lacostes and pished..Still got Samba's Hav'nt seen Gazelles for ages..I want some original Forrest hills aswell..not the lousey Forest Hills they have out now..So who was Wally Bleedin Waffle anyhow???

again...lost in translation.

who are what are you sneaking up on, anyway?

Adidas superstar 35th Anni

New York & Tokyo versions at the mo.

Adidas or Lacoste only (never fooking Nike)

cheap shoes tend to be cheap and crappy except for a few retro styles... don't ever be cheap with your shoes or coat/jacket, you wear those everyday, get good stuff plus it's the basis of how you look

of the major brands, Adidas look the coolest, Nike just sucks all around, Converse hurt my feet, the padding in skate shoes makes my feet hurt also.... New Balance by far seem the best for comfort and not hurting my feet, but most look absolutely awful IMO, thou i just bought an updated retro style... during the summer i just wear Merrell sandals or real shoes

Spot on analysis.

But I avoid Adidas and Nike because they're crap companies.

DC's (made in South Korea, so vaguely less sweatshoppy...) or Adidas Skate (made in Indonesia, so sweatshops galore). Nothing else comes in size 13, or indeed is any use for skateboarding as goes grip or impact protection if your feet come off the deck. I don't own a single pair of what might be called "shoes", but I do have black suede DC's I use for formal occasions.

Gotta be Nike (Air Alvord III), they feel soo comfy. Plus, Uncle Phil is a big donator to my alma mater.

Vans.Time to get a new pair.Been 2 years now.

But Blue, 90% of the above listed foot wear were made by the peace loving communist peasants of Viet Nam. Wait......

Whatever brand I can find on sale for < £30.

If there was a brand that instead of giving millions of dollars to the likes of Michael Jordan for endorsements used that cash to double the wages of its asian workforce, I'd probably go for those. Still have to be cheap though (if fair trade coffee cuts out the middle man, why does it cost 3 times as much as the normal unethical stuff?)

I'm a sneaker freaker. 30+ pairs, mainly retros: Jordan, Dunk, AF1, Air Max, etc, Nike collectibles. Some Adidas also.

Looking for a pair of Adidas Superstars designed by Underworld if anyone's selling.
