I'm after a pair of high top trainers, I can sort of picture in my head what I want but not having much luck finding it. I think I'm after this kind of style, or this, but not those exact ones. Any brand recommendations or anything?
Ach, I'm not sure. Something dark/neutral I think, I can probably only afford one pair so they'll need to be pretty versatile. I keep seeing people wearing nice ones but it seems kinda creepy to stop a passing stranger and ask about their shoes.
Oh Christ don't go with the wedges, very chavvy. Those Ponys are similar in style to Nike Terminators, providing you can find the right colourway you like (I have the Oregon and Supreme Court eds), or more available in a neutral colour might be a good old Nike Dunk.
The missus is after some Blazers for Christmas, black full leather is the brief, those might also be a consideration.

Just googled blazers, they look alright actually. I think what I'm thinking of is definitely comes up around the ankle, either laces or velcro or something around the top. I don't even really care if they're a brand name or not. I know I'll know the right ones when I see them, which makes this even more infuriating.

I was right re: the above, they're at Size. Superb in the flesh and will resist fluids a bunch. If you like Nike high-tops do not fucking sleep on them.
Meanwhile, I would never wear the following myself:
... but as an object, I'm into it. Puts me in mind of Jean Giraud comics, or maybe the Halo games for some reason.
I saw these in JD sports a few days ago. They're fucking horrendous. Not the shape, just as normal the colour scheme. There's a yellow and black pair too.
That organge just ruins it completely.
ID me up though if they're on there

Maaaaaan I dunno about the concertina-sole Lunarlon stuff as applied to retros. Really hit and miss. Don't really understand why its use demands those particular shapes. Foam is foam.
New Balance's equivalent is the Revlite material and they don't make anything like that much fuss about it.
