Trainers - Decision hastily made.
So, I ordered new trainers today. Black leather Nikes with a large blue tick on the side, very plain and simple. Maybe a smidgen similar to the type you see on Granmothers powerwalking round the shops.
I was considering a pair of Converse or Keds, but all my trainers recently have been either of these brands and a change is as good as a rest. Back in the day I was all about the DC skater shoes but I feel at my relatively advanced age those particular trainers would be a mistake now.
I keep seeing hipster kids wearing Nike hi-tops in brash colours, they look super cool on them but for anyone who despairs of skinny jeans they are a mistake. Maybe in an ironic I-know-they're-played-out way they could work, too cool for school and all that.
