    Well they’re certainly not subtle.... Not the sort of thing I’d wear but I do like them

    I hate the writing at the back, without that they'd be almost wearable

    I only found out recently that there are collectors of trainers who never wear them. I watched a documentary about a guy who filled his house with Hot Wheels cars all in their original boxes and people laughed at him for decades and thought he was a nutter. He's worth millions now!

    Wonder if there's any trademark breaches using the dragon badge, or the words Yma O Hyd?

    Still, at least they're nicer than the latest Yeezy's

    Probably, but they're only making 50 pairs (allegedly) so I think there's a calculation going on along the lines that they'll have packed up production by the time a Cease And Desist notice comes through (which I think is about as much as they'd get for this).

    It's amazing just how valuable these things can be in the future. I find it fascinating.

    they drive my wife mad, we moved just before Covid pandemic hit and I dont think she realised how many boxes I had ( she didnt see them all as I hide some in bigger moving boxes before she saw them )

    though to be honest that wasn't the end of her rants, I had a spell collecting " signed movie posters " ( this was just before my oldest was born, I always wanted a signed star wars poster, she said " when the baby arrives we won't be able to afford it, so get one now, I did, but didnt stop at one ) they seemed to annoy her more than the trainers

    These trainers may be the straw that breaks the Qatar World Cup for me.

    Ha, ha! Yeah, I feel your pain. The only real obsession I've still got is driving/racing games going back decades. I've even had to create spreadsheets just because I couldn't remember which ones I had, there are over 1000. Luckily Mrs CN is very supportive of this but the football collection had to go when we moved. I almost checked into The Priory to get over that.

    the 1st was a New hope and most of the stars did, Hammill, Ford, Fisher, Oz, earl jones, Baker, Daniels, Prowse, ( pretty sure Gunniess is on it aswell )

    then I went down the list and got the newer films, ( ep 1 - 3 ) Phantom has McGregor, Portman, Oz, Baker and daniels, Neelson ( might be some others, think Palpatine is one )

    I must admit, I haven't got 7 - 9, which is a shame as it would be good to get the full set ( I must resist )

    got the original fast and furious one aswell


    They will look great in a home cinema room, but till then, they are rolled up and staying safe from the sun

    £165, although not a huge amount compared to the price youngsters are willing to pay for trainers these days, is double what I'd be prepared to pay for a pair of sneakers.
