Puma King - size 8 1/2
Must have had about 30 pairs of them over the years, went through 2 or 3 pairs a season. Probably only ever had 2 other pairs, a pair of Adidas Copa mundials which were good and some Nike's that were shit.
Miss football..

Anyone mentioned these classics..

Fila Bjorn Borg Elite, one of the great early 80's casual era trainers.

 

[Rollem]

Yay! I buy nike so that Indonesian factory workers' can continue living in a slum and earning 50 cents a day.

as oppose to not buying nike and them still living in slums and erning 50 cents a day...

i dont buy any football stuff but i prefer the look of adidas strips

Adidas when they used to be made in West Germany. These days made in China & the quality is crap especially with all the old 70's & 80's retro trainers, Munchen, Forest Hills etc..

Agreed that the quality isn't great these days, and they rarely get the look exactly right, but give me a reissued Munchen over any modern design. What else am I going to wear, Nike Shox?

Not mentioned because they were made by Diadora, not Fila.

Diadora, not Fila.

About to be reissued all over the shop. Should have an interesting customer base of nu ravers and old hooligans in their 40s.

I used to have Diadora boots. I got ridicule from all the kids with whatever the latest thing was. 'Predator'... I remember those. It was the start of the big-shot striker wearing stupid red boots phenomenon.

I was a keeper so I s'pose I wasn't meant to wear fashionable stuff.

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

i don't actually own anything by any of those


well, technically converse are now made by nike, so i guess that counts.
