it's been awhile since i had a pair of nikes and the look of these made me think twice about buying nikes again.



i know it's a longshot but does anyone know where i may be able to pick up a pair. the whole retro nike runners look cool.

Schuh/champion I'd say.

cheers i'll check them out tomorrow, also today i noticed there was a kind of retro-ey - is that a word - shop on wicklow street which i hadn't time to go into but will try tomorrow.

ah there cool had a pair in pink and grey a while back

Zebra3

They look awful.

Nike is sooo 80s wannabe American (and I don't mean that in a good way).

Cant help thinking of Michael J Fox wearing a pair in BTTF3.

How cool were the ones in BTTF2? which tied the laces themselves.

You do know Converse are owned by Nike right??

Anyway to the OP. I dunno where you culd get a pair like that but you could always go on to http://www.nikeid.com and try to customise a pair to look as close to that as possible. dunno how close you'd get but i'm sure you could make something you like at least

Maybe you need to do a bit more research on Nike and find out that they actually own Converse. I laugh in your face, FACT.

Aren't those Nikes the Ait Force One models. Find them in Schuh and Office for definite.

i suggest you re-read the post, nike's ownership of converse was implied

You weren't "tooo" busy to wrongly criticize my original post.

Anyway back on topic. Get those runners theyre deadly.

Sorry still can't talk. In a ruush. Nice one on the runners though dude. Thay are flyyyyyyyyyyy

Did somebody call?

I can't see the picture, but someone mentioned the Air Force One. I got a pair in England last year for £20stg. I got the white with yellow soul and purple swoosh, I have since put purple laces on them. They're pretty comfortable.

FX Meister

Wow, that's a pretty good price. The UK used to be quite good for runners but we are starting to catch up here. When Nike reissued the Jordan 5 there was no way you could get them here. Which is a shame. I bought two pairs in NY at the time and one pair is still in the box. I'm a frucking geek.

Creamy Goodness

after an unsucessful trip in dublin i went back and done some research on these shoes.

turns out they aren't nika air force 1's but actually nike dunk low's (odd name i know) and suppodedly these are pretty hard to come by, but i've managed to find a pair on ebay. here

FX Meister

There are a lot of fakes on eBay. I got stung with a pair of Air Max 95 by customs when they came into the country. http://ie.schuhstore.co.uk/home_normal.asp
Not the right colour but maybe you could change your mind.

NeMiSiS

You can get all the old school airmax on www.nikeid.com, and customise the colours.

I wanted a pair of those so much. & his jacket with the self adjusting sleeves.:D

FX Meister

I thought the jacket was crap. The shoes were flyyyyyy though.

Is there a noticable differance in the quality and durability of sports gear - eg. Addais, Rebok, Nike, Pennys?

FX Meister

Yeah there's a huge difference. There's no way I would go running in a pair of runners from Penny's. I have to much respect for my joints.

Yeah there's a huge difference. Despite the skanger branding ("Nike air Max, bhoyy!"), Nike actually make really good running shoes, as do Asics. Adidas and Reebok also do specialist running shoes. There's a Fitness forum on boards too, where you can go into depth on the differences.

aye after some googling i found that site, they have them on their site alright but alas they are sold out, which leads me to believe they won't get them back again but i'll fire a email off to them anyways
