Any trainer fiends out there?

So as this is MN probably the wrong place but fingers x.

As a teen in the 90s I loved trainers, I still love them & am glad they are popular again.

I fancy a pair of Adidas gazelles, I've never had these before & am torn on the colour.

Anyone got gazelles? Fave colour?

Anyone suggest a cheap source of Gazelles? I'm not really bothered if they're "this year's" colour.

I have glittery grey ones and bright pink ones. I find them so comfortable.

Wow, thanks for all the responses! And thank you butt for sacrificing your rep!

I'm loving all the other colour suggestions, aiming to try on some this weekend.

Love the green, and burgandy. And navy, and grey. I'm a bit of a trainer geek Grin If I remember right they were a bit too wide on me though.

I've been looking at the gazelles too. The lilac ones keep showing on the ads on my phone.

I so wanted a pair of green gazelles in the 90s. Lush! I mainly wear converse and superga these days but I'm off to search for a pair of gazelles now!

I've got them in bright blue, although I really want them in grey.

I have gazelles in white leather and navy blue suede

They're pretty true to size, I love the look of my white ones. My navy blue ones I bought half a size up when I was pregnant so I've put some sheepskin insoles in them, will wear them when it gets a bit colder!

I have over 150 pairs of trainers including several pairs of Gazelles. They are true to size usually although adidas sizes are mystifyingly varied. Gazelles are pretty standard though. adidas SPZL release is tonight. I'll be staying up late to nab a pair of Spiritus!

I love trainers. I've adapted my entire lifestyle so I can live in them everyday. I have the gazelles in grey, love them. New, mine are a 7, my normal size.

Any advice on sizing? Is it true it's best to go up a size?

I love my prime knit Adidas gazelles, mine are a kind of very light warm fawn colour.

Ive got gazelles in red. They were cheap on the schuh imperfects site. One is a bit faded but it hardly shows. Annoyingly one of them also squeaks!

I've got the lilac & was tempted by the mint green. I love them & they clean well with a damp cloth.

Puma Suedes are also a nice alternative. And stay close to the 80's design.
