The List

Something that a lot of people may know is that I have a slight obsession with trainers. I buy trainers quite a lot and people sometimes ask me why I chose that particular trainer. Sometimes this is hard for me to explain, and I just have to come out with a reason like "because they're a classic" or something similar. You see, sometimes I don't even like the trainers I've bought, I only got them because they have some sort of reputation. So I've decided to compile a list of trainers that I have to own at some point:

Adidas Samba Super - The classic Samba, a bit special on Merseyside, I also had a pair of these a few years back

Adidas Trimm Trab - Origin of the scouse term "trabs", not had a pair of these yet

Adidas Handball 5 Plug - Currently have a pair of these, but they are one of the trainers I bought but don't like

Adidas European Cities - I'd have pretty much any trainer from this range, possibly my favourite trainers. Currently own London's in black with red stripes, most sought after for me would be Malmo or Dublin

Puma Argentina - A non-Adidas classic, also had a pair of these a few years back and wore them until they had hole in

Diadora Borg Elite - Another non-Adidas, and possibly the ultimate non-Adidas classic. Had these a few years back in white and black but would still like a pair with the gold logo

Adidas Kegler Super - never had a pair of these, would love to get me hands on this terrace classic though

Adidas SL80 - currently have these after years of searching, now finally been re-released by Size
