Kicks, Sneaks and Foot Furnishings

I bought the TN JaquesHe could've just said they came from another planet but seems keen to convince people with his bullshit pseudoscience that he knows stuff. I wouldn't trust him with my lunch. - SG

Vapormaxes I finally liked enough to nab:
They are a bit hilariously bouncy. -
Haven't really seen a colour way I've liked yet B, though I'm slightly tempted by these current ones...
How do you rate them as a trainer now you have them?Come with g if you want to live... -

Honestly, my daily wear at the mo. They're light of course, but the boingyness keeps them fun more than pillowy like Addy's Boost stuff.
I keep bouncing extra hard on my heels just to see if I can pop 'em. A shoe for absolute recreation. -
Hmmmmm. I am tempted.Come with g if you want to live...

I tried some on before JDSports ridiculously convuluted purchasing system made me realise that dropping that much on a colourway that wasn't the one I wanted was dumb. Crazy comfy shoe. That blue looks nice, the Oreo was the only so far that really sang to me"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B -
Would they be any cop as a running shoe? -
I always found running shoes to be a false economy. Cheaper to get through two and a half pairs of Silver Shadows than to by the latest Asics or Brooks. But I'd think so, though the bouncy might annoy. They're very light and they lockdown well. But at that price I wouldn't want to sweat in them"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B

I run about 1500 miles a year and I'd heartily disagree with that. Quality, supportive running shoes that are right for your gait are essential if you want to avoid injury. I'm pining for a pair of Vaporfly Elite, which aren't particularly nice to look at but will give you that bounce that Vapormaxes do.

I haven't run in years, and I do get the points about gait, just from running in boots so much I despised spending beer money on trainers that'd last a couple of months. The Silver Shadows might only last a month but the only cost like £15"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B

Send messageVaporflys are the shit but are bare spenny. Other than that you can get adidas pureboost in sales for like 65 quid, get those if you want some impact prprotection, or if baller get ultraboosts or the EQT boosts, still less than the Vaporfly.

I don't think the Vaporfly is anything like a real running shoe. It merely channels the notion, in the service of flossing and, as I mentioned, going boiiiiing
-
I actually really like the Vaporfly 4% (pictured above) and the Elite that no one can actually purchase yet.

Send messageI thought the Vaporfly came out of the Nike challenge to try and beat a sub two hour marathon though? Pretty sure they're intended as runners, especially at the eye watering price Nike want for them."Let me tell you, when yung Rouj had his Senna and Mansell Scalextric, Frank was the goddamn Professor X of F1." -
They look horrendous, you would be hacking at your ankle to get them off you as soon as you break into a canter. I'm with Cocko, Silver Shadows were the shit back in the day and I bet they still are. I used to bomb around cross country tracks as a lad in some ten pound Dunlops and was breaking the top 15 places.

Yep, they're as close to an ideal distance running shoe as you can get. Look a state, mind. Webbins obviously still dealing with the mental scars of Gola footie boots.

Patrick actually, and several pairs of. Imagine my glee when me ma stretched to a pair of budget Diadoras. Of course I got Puma Kings as soon as I could buy my own. Adidas Copa Mundials now sit kicking nothing in the wardrobe, the classics are always the best.GT: WEBBIN5 - A life in formats: Sinclair ZX81>Amstrad CPC 6128>Amiga 500>Sega Megadrive>PC>PlayStation 2>Xbox>DS Lite>Xbox 360>Xbox One>Xbox One X>Xbox Series X>Oculus Quest 2 -

It's fine as a kid, but when you have an arthritic knee you need all the help you can get.

Osgood-Schlatters here during my early teens, I think I had it for about a year to 18 months. Had to quit school football team, school running team, play in goal in the playground, in goal, ffs.GT: WEBBIN5 - A life in formats: Sinclair ZX81>Amstrad CPC 6128>Amiga 500>Sega Megadrive>PC>PlayStation 2>Xbox>DS Lite>Xbox 360>Xbox One>Xbox One X>Xbox Series X>Oculus Quest 2

I think these are kinda funny, definitely thumbing her nose to the culture that's built up around her work and pays her bills

Bloody Nike. Such a limited run of CR7 air max 97s. So much so that Nike was the only online store with any to sell and ALL the stock goes in under 60 seconds.

Yeah but they were honking"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B

Only just had a proper look at the Yeezy Wave Runners. Jeez they're ugly. Look like the sneaker equivalent of the car Homer designed. -
I don't get yeezy Sneakers. Hideously expensive, sellout in minutes on each release. Must be an age thing.
@cocko I'm now determined to find a pair and wear them to the next badger meetup just so you can tell me they are fugly
Howdy, Stranger!
