Are Hush smoking crack or am I just not down with the kids?

[ForSaleChesterDraws]

£225 for these monstrosities?!? I know half of Mumsnet worships at the alter of Hush, but come on...

They are a bit very clunky looking, almost Lego like!

🤮I don’t get the obsession with Hush.

Had some cheap ones from a market stall that looked just like those when I was 9.

They are Ash trainers on the hush website.

They are not made by hush. They look hideous.

It's a new fashion 'ugly trainers' I've seen a few bloggers wearing similar...I don't get it!

Ignoring the style of the trainers, the price is ridiculous. I get the hush catalogue and they do have nice things but I find their footwear very expensive! The clothes are overpriced but not quite as much as their boots/trainers.

They’re Ash trainers - essentially Balenciaga rip offs!

Are Ash the ones that did the big wedge trainers about 5 years ago? S&B weed their pants over them as well.

Ugly, and not in as stylish a way as the Balenciaga originals. It's not really about being down with the kids, I always see the Hush customer as 40ish anyway, just wanting to stay a bit on trend. Some of their stuff is nice, but I also don't get the love on here.

I have a few pairs of their boots. They are pricey but they are beautifully made.

Like any other online retailer, some things are gems, others are rubbish.

ForSaleChesterDraws yes Ash did the wedge trainers. I have a pair of Ash virgin (I think) high tops (flat) and they’re super comfy.

I quite like some of the fugly trainers around at the moment. The Balenciagas are cool but beyond my budget! I have some of the Adidas Falcons which I like with a dress

The Emperor's New Trainers.

How much!?

Hush is to 40 somethings today what m&s was to my dm's generation at that age.

Decent quality, but nothing groundbreaking.

The price is ridiculous and tbh they're completely selling the wrong products considering their market... I couldn't imagine most 35+ would wear this style trainer, but I also don't know of many people under that age who would shop at Hush

That being said, despite the price tag, I don't hate the trainers... I've actually just treated myself to a second colour of the Fila Disruptor trainers and I know they're 'ugly' but that's what makes them so cute

I would hardly call hush wearers as being down with the kids!

Gosh, I'm inadvertently trendy!

I wear trainers rather like that, they're made by Hoka One One and are the most cushioned running shoe I've come across. They were the talk of the running community as the Next Big Thing a year or two ago, but that rather fell by the wayside.

But I love the cushioning. I've run personal bests at 5k, 10k and Half Marathon.

I don't wear them other than when running (or occasionally when going to/from and event where I don't want to use the bag drop).

They are a serious running trainer - but half the price of these 'fashion' ones. Various

MBTs are back and I reckon if you are putting something that size on your foot may as well sort your posture at the same time for that price.

Shit me they ming.

I think Ash trainers are overrated, and those ones are hideous!

I do like (love even?) Hush for their sweatpants, Harems and stretchy tube skirts though. As a lover of elasticated waistbands in their late 40s, I guess I'm their target market.

They look like they are from Tommy Balls.

Oh no I like the chunky “dad” trainer and have a pair of Adidas falcons.... I am also over 35.

I would never pay that for a shoe though.

I don't think Hush could ever be considered 'down with the kids" in any lifetime tbh. The 'ugly trainer' trend is definitely having it's moment though. I wouldn't wear them and know I couldn't pull them off but I don't hate them on other (younger cooler) people. Hush are probably trying to tap into the market of people wanting to be younger and cooler and chancing their arm, don't blame them really, they're there to make money after all. £225 though...wow.

I always want to put a brush through the Hush models' hair.
