Well, after probably 30 years of wearing nothing but Adidas trainers (or 'sneakers'), I fancied a change.

| | | | I may have to switch over to Adidas, because your 3 year old pair looks as good as my 7 month old pair of Vans

No exaggeration to say they've been hammered. I'd probably get another year out of them. But I saw the K-Swiss and just fancied a change. Super comfy and pretty cool too IMO. |

I'm fairly settled in the New Balance (574) camp at the mo!

Avia....never heard of them. I've never really looked beyond Adidas until now. |

For me, it's all about the cool  |

| | When I come around, homeboy, watch yo nuggets | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: San Diego, CA | | | I wear my Adidas when it's cold enough or formal enough that I have to wear pants when traveling outside my apartment.
During the other 361 days of the year here in beautiful and laid back San Diego, I wear my flip flops or Vibrams for casual jaunts and my Brooks for work and for running.
Volleyball I prefer Asics. |

Titus, let's face it, you just wanted more stripes on the side, you flashy beast.

I did especially like the blue and yellow casual shoes the Olympians were wearing in London, anyone know about those?
