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?

I'm certain I have to be right with Fred Perry Grin

Office have them in different colours, coral, grey etc and I guess the logo is similar to a W.....

TheFlis12345 · 15/03/2019 22:28

You never said they were high tops! Confused

That's two words!!!!

lotusbell · 15/03/2019 22:31

Ffs, @BikeRunSki!!!! Grin

BikeRunSki · 15/03/2019 22:35

Sorry, I thought I’d put Hi-tops in my OP. I blame the wine.
Supra is the brand. 1 word! Skytop is the style.

They are bloody horrible

Get some New Balance

KimchiLaLa · 15/03/2019 22:54

Oh. I'm kinda dissapointed. In my head I was picturing something like these, which are obviously Nike
