I like these but are they too out there? Too chavvy, too whatever?!
I'm 38. Love a stand out shoe.. thoughts?!

I like them

mamatoTails · 01/03/2024 11:45

I really like them. What would you wear them with?

LentilFaculties · 01/03/2024 11:47

They're not out there enough for me! But they are very lovely in a muted, understated way. I just can't get over how expensive trainers have become.

NarcissaMalfoysManicure · 01/03/2024 11:49

I really like them, if they're the only patterned bit of an outfit. They could look nice with cigarette trousers and a plan white t-shirt.

trickybossmbe · 01/03/2024 11:50

Eh? There's nothing remarkable about them or even stand out. They're a pair of Nike trainers with a little leopard print on them. Hardly anything outrageous.

If you like them, buy them.

Toottooot · 01/03/2024 11:51

Love them - had a very similar pair by Puma in my basket that sold out by the time I made my mind up to buy ☹️

God no. I have no words.

Does the little window on the sole light up when you take a step?

Put's me in mind of a spirit level.

Hideous.

DrJoanAllenby · 01/03/2024 12:06

Only if participating in exercise. Wearing them to go shopping is a massive no.

Wallabyone · 01/03/2024 12:08

I like them a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️

MorrisZapp · 01/03/2024 12:09

I really like them. Of course they're ideal for shopping! Stylish and comfy. Would love to know the correct shopping footwear etiquette 🤣

BubblePerm · 01/03/2024 12:10

Nice. I want them.

autumn1610 · 01/03/2024 12:11

Oh i love these I keep looking at them but can’t justify the cost at the moment!

MidnightMeltdown · 01/03/2024 12:14

It's a no from me. They look very 'woman of a certain age trying to look funky' to me. I'd go for something colourful if you want to stand out.

MidnightMeltdown · 01/03/2024 12:16

It's the sort of pattern that Joules would come out with as a funky design for older women. I think that's what puts me off

Thistooshallpass. · 01/03/2024 12:17

Love them . I'm in 40s and wear this style all the time .

ThisHonestQuail · 01/03/2024 12:19

Definitely not an exercise shoe!

They are a very classic Nike style and the colour way will work with a lot of things, go for it!

turkeyboots · 01/03/2024 12:22

I like them. I'd fall off the platform and twist my ankle sadly, so I'll admire from afar.

I agree with this but they could be cool depending on what they're worn with.

AsTheyPulledYouOutOfTheOxygenTent · 01/03/2024 12:27

I'm with MidnightMeltdown, I think they're dated and aging. You did ask.

underthebun · 01/03/2024 12:28

i love them!

They aren’t New Balance 327s!!! 😆

It completely depends how you style them.

Honestly I balked at the price! Back in the day I wouldn't even consider paying this for Nikes!!
