To think that wearing Nike Dunk trainers

[TheAverageJoanne]

in black and white is terribly unimaginative and following the herd? I've never seen one item so prevalent in my whole life.

Comfiest pair of trainers I've ever owned. Didn't realise they were so "prevalent", not that I'd care anyway. I like them and that's it.

Does it matter though? Loads of clothes are worn by many people. Like jeans fashion etc.

Just wear what makes you happy and be happy if others feel the same about what they wear.

They're just footwear it's not that deep

I would say black leggings are much more prevalent and unimaginative but loads of people wear them.

People like them so who cares if it’s unimaginative? People see others wear them and think ‘oh they look comfy’ and buy them.

Terribly darling how horrendous that lot of people like the same shoe, long as you don’t wear them that’s no problem is it really, is wearing them in other colours acceptable?

Tell us what you wear and we'll let you know if you pass muster

I'm not sure I've ever worn an imaginative pair of shoes

OK and?

Why on earth does it matter?

I think you’ll find the black and white ones are referred to as Panda Dunks 🐼

What's wrong with following the herd? Not everyone is interested in fashion and they're happy to just get what others are buying. Who cares?

If I liked a shoe, I wouldn’t give a fuck how many other people were wearing them.

No more than AF1 a few years ago.

I was sitting in a city centre a few years ago and I reckon about 20% of the population was wearing them.

I have a large trainer collection, but i still like and still wear both fwiw. To echo a pp It's not that deep.

I looked up what you mean and they are called Pandas. I saw them most around 12-18 months ago on teenagers.

Never come across AF1s then? It’s a basic trainer which goes with just about everything in your wardrobe. Same with Panda Dunks. Let people wear what they want

I would say that not following the herd is by definition not being interested in fashion.

Throw out leggings while you’re at it! Nothing is more‘prevalent’.

I have a pair in white and cream. Would you say I was more imaginative?
I doubt I care either way. My mental budget does not allow for worrying about what others think of my footwear choices.

They are just trainers and are pretty standard. I was a teenager in the 90s, I've seen much more prevalent trainer and footwear trends. These look better and more comfortable than the Converse pump trend, that was a hard look to get behind.

Personally I just wear two large carrots on my feet like that fairy king from Ben and Holly. It's fashion darling and sets me apart from lesser mortals

I have a pair thanks to my DC deciding my various adidas court trainers ( which I still love as they are so comfortable ) were too uncool.

They bought me a pair for my birthday last year. I wasn't keen at first but they do at least look ok with my black jeans. Since then DS18 has bought himself a pair in exactly the same style and now his new girlfriend turns up wearing hers so we then have a litre collection of them in the hall.

I'm 54 years old and did wonder if I look a bit ridiculous in them and they aren't quite as good for long walks as my adidas ones.

No idea what they look like and never notice what anyone is wearing on their feet unless it's really outlandish or high heels.

Sorry Op I could not disagree with you more. I have a lovley collection of nike trainers (around 50 pairs) in display cases all different colours and the black and white dunkems look lovley. 🙄

yeah, we do a Panda count whenever we go out 🤣 but then we both love trainers, so it's a bit of an obsession of ours

I got silver and white Dunks for Christmas and my friends actually congratulated me on having a colour combo they'd never seen before 😁
Panda's are smart AF though so 🤷🏻‍♀️
