Stan Smith / Trimm Trab

Can't remember the last time I bought any adidas. Kind of fell out of love with them when I felt quality was dipping, designs straying from the OG and because of those daft teds who camp outside size? three days before a questionable colourwayed city series is being released.

Another deciding factor was a Nike factory shop opened about half a mile from my home, so for the past half decade been getting knock down Wimbledon, Cortez, Airs and Tennis Court / Majestic instead. 

However got pulled back recently by an originals classic which Adolph Dassler doesn't tamper with - Stan Smith. Had numerous pairs over the years - they don't go out of style, go with everything and look cool as fuck. Particularly these bad lads with the pale pink trim. Direct from adidas site with plenty of disco.

Then got another pair of adi runners after being tipped off on a forum. I didn't realised Schuh had an imperfects site, where you can buy new but worn - they're the shop trying on pairs. Saw some Trabs in a, yes, admittedly, questionable colourway for 25 quid (and then a 20% off code). Fine for kicking around in the summer - if we're allowed out.

Finally some two pairs of grey gazelle, one each for the lads in the interest of fairness.
