I'm thinking of buying some trainers, mostly for cycling but also for leisure wear too. They're Adidas Sambas I'm 37 and am slightly worried that I'll look a bit mutton dressed as lamb or someone who never moved on from Britpop.

I'm 49 and don't know whether I should be laughing, scowling or crying about this attitude. Trainers are for everyone, not just young people. I think they're like trousers, some styles suit some and other styles suit others, iyswim. No of which are age related.

This brings me to your link, they're awful, lol. I have a couple of pairs of sambas but they don't look like that, Those are very conservative, but ifthat's your style then go for them,
