Yeah this spam from me, but seriously I'm doing you a favour.
Amazon are doing an 25% off a lot of shoes using the code MAYDAY25.
These happen to be some of the most comfortable trainers you will ever wear the soles have something like memory foam and for £30 are a bargin. There are a fair few style available I just ordered 2 more pairs.

Yeah I've got a few Jordans, some really rare ones too.. and about 5 pairs of air max 1s  Used to work in a trainer shop haha, got great discount and developed a great knowledge of rare trainers and such!

Well vile is opinion and I have no qualms with that; and they are £90 ...
But you're not paying for the Nike ticks are you, you're paying for the entire shoe. The development (considering when it came out in 1987 it was THE olympic running shoe), the style - it's a retro. Don't tell me you don't like retro stuff. You're paying for the comfort, which believe me it is comfortable. You could apply the "you're paying for the Nike tick" logic to pretty much anything in life and I fucking hate that little remark because it comes from people who think "fuck da sysdemz I do not payz brandz", what do you spend your money on then? A motorbike? Why not buy a shithouse 1980 bike then because anything else and you're "paying for the GSX-R" logo. If you argue that you pay for the performance, well using the same logic an Air Max 1 "performs" better than a £5 ASDA shoe, so the same logic applies.
Not that I'm trying to convince you to start wearing Nikes, or telling you my opinion is better than yours or whatever, I'm simply saying don't act on your high horse looking down upon someone, because they are 'stupidly' paying for the logo. It's not.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying noone should wear trainers or anything, just that I don't wear them as my standard 'day to day footwear'.
| Quote: | Trainers aren't gym wear, if anything they're social wear that double as gym-wear. |
Gym was probably a bad word to use.
If I'm walking down to the shops or picking up something from the PO etc, it's shirt and shoes. If I'm off for a run or working on the bike in the garden, it's t shirt and trainers. Sounds like I play musical chairs with shoes, but then after a run your shoes are going to be sweaty anyway, I wouldn't want to keep them on.
Something like this, not formal shoes you'd wear with a suit. (Not as tarty as these though, one colour). Comfy as, can still run in them fine, you just wouldn't if you were setting out to do it.

Dunno. Walking about town, I'd rather look slightly unusual than wear the same as the local chav brigade. Maybe I'm actually a woman and just haven't realised it yet.
It's all a bit moot anyway, when I had my CG most of the time I'd be out in boots, probably turn to the same when I get another bike. |

although I didn't pay anything near the retail price. Such are the joys of being related to someone with employee discount LOL

Haha well played!
I have these three at the moment:

https://www.doubleselect.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nike-sneaker-airmax-1-omega.png
https://www.sneakerfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/airmax1-bluesafari.jpg
| Quote: | 25 years of research and development? They look the same as the pair of air max I had when I was 14. |
They probably are, like I said, these are from 1987.
| Quote: | Its a pair of trainers, not a fusion reactor, how much scope for development do you think their is for a running shoe |
I don't know, why don't we ask Usain Bolt if he doesn't mind what he wears in the Olympics? Not that I wear them for the 100m sprint.
| Quote: | Considering that Nike really can produce air max trainers for around £5, what exactly do you think you're paying for? Its certainly not a superior piece of footwear. All the 'value' of a Nike product is in the brand created through advertising. If that makes you feel good then crack on, but stop fooling yourself its for any other reason. |
It's probably closer to £1 mate... and yes, I do value them. The pairs I own are all extremely rare, I'm talking 1 of 500, not something you're going to see on your local chav. Compare it to say, someone saying your MV Augusta is the same as some chav's R6.
I'm no fool to the fact that I may be a sucker to Nike branding, but lets be honest they've branded there stuff well enough over the years to be the number one sports brand in the world?
| Quote: | I don't own any trainers. I do have a pair of branded leather boots, which I have had for 5 years and cost the same as a well known plastic running shoe. |
Why do you wear boots? Because they are comfy? Because you like the image? Because they last for ages?
Check for me on all three accounts, all my air maxes are 2 years old or older, and I bet, in no worse condition than your boots. Mine get worn pretty much every day, too.
| Quote: | I just think at 25 I'm a bit beyond wearing 'retro' trainers that someone has vomited a rainbow on |
That's completely fair enough and like I said, I am not trying to convince anyone to buy Nikes, but you were the one who threw assumptions around!
Also, you don't have to have 'rainbow' versions..

Although, if you do find any white/white or black/black colourways in a shop near you, let me know, they are rare as fuck
