I now have Gazelles, Sambas and LA trainers. I can't find any Nike Omegas or Adidas Harvards or Adidas Triestes Just checked borg diadora now £169 ! Are your LA trainers all leather ? I had a white leather pair with navy stripes - loved them, lost them and found them in the garage years later, destroyed by mould. Now the only LA I see are nylon ones - just not the same if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough JD seem to have a better selection of LA Trainers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2022 All the above is very much a "thing I don't get". Clothes, shoes, labels, fashion. Never been remotely interested. Any surplus cash I had, went on records and books, not wasted on clobber. Just buy something cheap, comfortable and anonymous, as infrequently as possible (the maybe once-a-year torture of having to go clothes shopping. Ugh, worse than the dentist). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was into it for a maybe 5 years max, around 18-23 years old. Then found better things to spend my money on (going out, holidays, cars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think fashion necessarily needs to mean money. You can be fashionable and not spend much money. It's probably harder, but it's perfectly doable. I agree with the principle though. I have the odd bit of clothing that I really like that I've spent money on, but most of my clothes shopping is done on ASOS where things are about as cheap as you'll get them online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a multimillionaire, it wouldn't make any difference. It's just that I've never had any interest in fashion, and always hated shopping for clothes, even as a teenager. If I have to wear something new I feel awkward and selfconscious. I particularly hate it when people notice - "Ooh, new shirt, nice!" **** off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched villa ladies play citeh last season and saw her "play"....it looked like she'd just come straight from a night out and on to the pitch; fake tan, fake lashes and played like she was still drunk. I know image is important for footballers both male and female but wearing fake lashes ?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
