Trainers and stories involving trainers - remember to do pics

[JU!]

Went shopping to London yesterday. My London based mate, who is a big 'sneaker' fan, with 54 pairs(!), took me around that many trainer shops that I wilted and succumbed to these rather fetching pair of ZX Fluxes.

Those ZX Flux are cool - what are they like to actually wear though?

I have the wave version of ZX Flux Charles and they are so comfortable to wear and suitable for all types of wear good for casual stuff but also the black or grey net versions can look quite smart. The back sole has worn away a bit on the inside of mine but that could be due to my walking style but overall they are great.
Amazing and I wear them most days. Also as you can see above like Super Grover shows some look amazing. Super Grover I have never seen that style look brilliant. I have messed about with the ZX Flux app which is great for putting your own designs on but pics do have to be massive.

I have never seen this print before buying it, and I have not seen it in any other shop since.

I've been buying a few pair of ZX Flux's, along with some Nike Roshe run's, although I've had to check myself as I was literally buying a new pair of trainers every week, for 3 months!

The problem I find when trying to buy some limited/exclusive versions is that virtually all the time, they are sold out within literally minutes of going on sale online. I was after a pair of Air Max 90 25th Anniversary Edition 'Cork', but the resellers bought them all up and flipped them on eBay at circa ?80 mark up.

I'm sure J0e could shed some light on the sneaker reselling game.

Swish. Have a pair myself because of Sakura (Street Fighter) and Terry Bogard.

She wears hi-tops though doesn't she?

You know, you're right.

Certain sprites don't look like it though.

I missed out on those Cork ones too...I normally get the ones I want but resellers even hoover up the size 12s these days. Probably for the best as I would probably never worn them and I have too many pairs of 90s anyway!

I've got a pair of Cork Air Max III (90) in a 9.5 if that's any use to you? I'm never going to wear them.

Meanwhile, today I got these:

Good to see Nike thinking outside the box and away from the mainstream revenue

Only if you buy a pair. Or have a story about them
