What were these trainers?

Colleague got some trainers sent to work today. I loved them!! Can’t remember what they were, can anyone suggest brands from these clues? I think I’d recognise the brand name if I heard it. I suspect that I am too old and uncool to wear them, which is why I can’t remember.

Not Converse, Vans, Hummel, Nike or Adidas
Suede, subtle colours (she got burnt orange pair and a cream/grey/beige pair)
Neither too chunky, nor too slim
Short one word name

That doesn’t help much does it?

Not Puma
Not a “big brand” not one with hoodies and jogging bottoms all over the streets. The logo looked a bit like the Wilson tennis gear “W”, but not Wilson.

I know you said one word but could it be Fred Perry?

TheFlis12345 · 15/03/2019 21:42

Were they more like regular trainers in shape or plimsoll style like the Veja or Adidas gazelles?

pongopig · 15/03/2019 21:45
