Feast your eyes on these bad boys.

everything's a bad boy these days, what's that about?

[Gangster Octopus]

Apparently it's summat to do with pumps.

[treibeis]

Hang on a minute, they're available up to size 12. As there aren't that many kids with such big feet, am I right in assuming that adults wear these things too?

[WOM]

EIM's waking nightmare

As you well suspected, I'd wear half of those. 8 1/2, please.

[WOM]

EIM's waking nightmare

Not the garish ones, mind. Just the cool ones.

[Felicity, I guess so]

EIM's waking nightmare

Bad is the appropriate adjective, certainly.

I wouldn't pay £20 for any of those, let alone £70.

[hobbes]

They're awful aren't they?
Which is a shame, the basic shape is pretty nice.

[Toby Gymshorts]

EIM's waking nightmare

These ones are alright.

As a non-trainer sort, I think I might be missing something here, but:

They're trainer-shaped, aren't they? Just like, well, all trainers?

If you're a 51 year old accountant with arch support issues.

What is with you geezers?

[Toby Gymshorts]

EIM's waking nightmare

Close. I'm a 39 year old insurance broker with arch support issues.

[WOM]

EIM's waking nightmare

These are for you, then.

My eyes! My beautiful eyes!

EIM's waking nightmare

I quite like these

WOM, I'm not averse to brightly coloured trainers - I have these after all.



It's just those Adidas are fucking horrible.

[Reed John]

EIM's waking nightmare

I like some of those, but I'm not so much a fan of the white soles. I prefer for it to match the rest of the colors in the sneaker.

If I ever turn up to an OTFathon, I'll buy the drinks all night. It'll cost me a fortune, but if it means you'll stay seated with your shoes out of my sight, it'll be cheap at the price.

EIM's waking nightmare

There were people camping out on Thomas Street outside Oi Polloi for TWO days trying to get a pair of limited edition adidas Ardwick. Ardwick. Adidas Ardwick. Two days. Trainers are dead, lads. Time for me to move on.

Least risky declaration ever.

I attended a sort of OTFathon before OTF even existed, I'll have you know. None of the current members were present (as far as I know) and I had no idea who anybody else was anyway, but I was there.

So, basically, you went to a pub once.

[WOM]

EIM's waking nightmare

I see that JVL is on this thread. I've met him, you know. And he's in Germany.

[ursus arctos]

I think you underestimate the chances of the OTF hordes descending on that mini-golf course in Hamburg.

[WOM]

EIM's waking nightmare

As soon as he gets a fresh coat of paint on the dolphin, I'm there.

They can descend where they bally well like. If they turn up on my manor wearing trainers like that, I'll set about them with a mashie-niblick.

And you probably know the score with Hausrecht. There's not a court from Flensburg to Oberstdorf that would convict me.
