I saw a woman at the train station the other day with the best trainers I have ever seen, but stupidly didn't ask where they were from. I will attempt to describe them in the hope that someone might be able to direct my increasingly frustrating googling.

They were a similar shape to those veja trainers that everybody round here (SE London) seems to have, but slightly higher round the ankle. Not hi-tops, but not standard trainers either (more a low mid-top). It was the colour that really caught my eye, though - it was a metallic goldy green. There's a veja trainer with a flash of a similar colour on the back and side (they call it lime), but this was the whole trainer, although there may have been some slight variations, say at the toe compared to the heel.

I really hope someone can help because I keep thinking about them/google searching, and I really have got other stuff that needs doing Wink

A very similar colour @namechanged984630 but different style. Pretty sure they were t Adidas. Thank you, though.

They sound a bit Golden Goose, any of these likely OP?

Thanks @amymel2016 I've looked through the Golden Goose trainers before and (thankfully, due to price!) I can't see any that look like the right style shape Grin

Could they be Ash? They do low hi-tops, although the colour might be a seasonal one, and no longer available.

Or Geox Myria? They do these in a hi-top version.

Thanks @Newcatmum I did look at Nike Air Force, but these weren't quite as chunky in the sole and the ankle was higher. They were probably one-offs Envy

@humsnet they were rounder in the toe than a
Ash, but will check out the others. Thanks

Air & grace?

humsnet · 24/01/2020 17:23

My top tip is to google by colour as it’s more easily recognised by search engines.

Googling Green, Bronze or Metallic (or a combination) on an image search brings up loads.

@damnthatanxiety those are beautiful! It's not them, but damn!

now you have a second shoe to covet!!

Sleepthief · 24/01/2020 17:26

@cattaxi definitely not Air & Grace [not that I've been spending too much time on the A&G website Blush]

Thanks @humsnet I have tried that, but will keep on doing so periodically. Fingers crossed they'll turn up one day (and don't cost £1bn!)

@damnthatanxiety Thanks for that Grin

@Sleepthief I almost went on the a&g site to look for you, but decided it would be too tempting 😂 gorgeous shoes!
Good luck with your search - they sound lovely.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 24/01/2020 19:29

Was it these? Maybe too low cut...

Sleepthief · 24/01/2020 19:55

@BlairWaldorfLovesShopping those are lovely, but the ones I'm looking for weren't sequinned. The search goes on. Should've bloody asked Angry
