There just normal trainers

Are these trainers retro from 20 years ago and back in fashion now? To me they just look like modern trainers?

Like them, don't like them. Wear them, don't wear them, but PLEASE stop with the ageist nonsense.

You're only 39, not 69. But regardless if you were bloody 79, if you like them, get them!

i honestly thought you were going to link to dungarees

They look like very sensible trainers

Do they light up? I really want some light up trainers. I feel deprived that they weren’t available when I was a toddler!

If you like them, buy them. They’re not ridiculous or anything.

They are fine. Quite dull compared to lots of trainers. Go for it if you like them.

Buy them and enjoy them!

Buy them! I had a gorgeous blue pair in 1998 and am now, at the grand old age of 41, about to buy a green pair.
I also went in urban outfitters today with my teenager and saw loads of things exactly like I used to rock in the 90’s. going without her tomorrow so I can buy stuff without judgement 😂

@Wobblelmyheadplease
Buy them I have 2 brand new pairs like this still in the boxes and I'm 38, just ascared to wear as one pair is pour white and the other I only got the other day got the white ones 2 years ago this Christmas 😂😂😂😂😂 never care what anybody else thinks.

Why on earth not?

Age has no boundaries anymore, says me in my white platform trainers and dress at 55

You won't look like mutton dressed as lamb as lambs aren't wearing dark grey air max! You'll be fine, they just look like inoffensive track shoes.

Looked at the link and I'm so confused.

Honestly thought it was going to be some black velvet platform sandals or something!

They are just trainers OP. Are you ok?

Do it! I've gone back to air max classics as they're sooo comfy! Wore them all the time as a teen.

£100 seems a lot for these, that's part of the debate
But you never mentioned cost, just your age.
As everyone says, they are just Nike trainers!

That’s the strangest part of this whole thing. They’re not. They’ve been making these since 1997, and they’ve been making them the whole time. While Office may only sell 2 colors, they come in about 40.

Original poster enjoy your sports shoes and if it takes two decades off - that is worth it’s weight in gold! Trainers only have a sizing issue and no other physical nor psychological requirement especially age! Put the spring in your step!

They’re sold out now!!

I bought a Baby G watch last year at 35 because I never got one in 1998 when I was 13 and loads of my friends had them. Buy them!

@supersonicginandtonic

My 13 year old daughter has a pair but no longer wears them as she says roadmen wear them. (Not a man that works on the motorway) as I thought 😂

Just had to google 'roadmen'

Clothing and shoes has no age range!

i dont think anyone is going to have strong opinions on those trainers. If theyre the ones you like, then get them, especially if youve been coveting them for decades

@HummingBeeBox

I was expecting to see something off the wall. They're quite conservative, buy them

Yes I'm was a little disappointed to see they were just trainers 🤔

are they velcro?
