Which trainers?

I haven’t had a pair of Adidas trainers for years. I also usually live in white trainers so fancy a pair of colourful ones for a change. I’m looking at either the Gazelles or Spezials.
Birthday coming up and I can’t decide between these three, any thoughts?

Personally I love orange, but green is apparently very "in" for sneakers at the minute.

Unsure about the gazelles as im not a purple fan.

Pretty sure ive been of no help whatsoever!

DD has the middle ones, they're more orange than red. I like the green, but then I'm having a green phase and I've just bought some green Nike Cortez.

What are the primary colours in your wardrobe?

I personally prefer the spezials, I have the earth strata colour way and find them easy to style.

I like the green

I love the green ones!!

Also, as you usually live in white trainers, please tell me HOW you keep them clean!? I bought some lovely white trainers recently but I've been too scared to wear them😂

Haha, I know the new trainer fear.

I use Crep Protect and find it really good. My favourite white leather trainers are 3 years old and still in decent nick despite being worn most of the time.

I'd go for the ones which match the main colours you wear...

Your washing machine is your friend this is what I and everyone I know who owns trainers does.
Only ones I'm wary of are Nike pony hair but once they get dirty looking I'll have no choice. I had some navy blue gazelles and put them in the machine, no damage to the suede itself but they turned a lovely baby blue 😵‍💫

@Stickersandlollipops thank you for the advice! I'll look at getting some crep protect! ☺️

Me too. I love them more than any other footwear I have ever bought and I’m 64 😮

I have the red with pink stripes and love them
