Anyone into their vintage adidas trainers? I am a bit of a anorak when it comes to collecting them, but my latest purchase is the best yet. Any of the fellas on here in their late 30s/early 40s will remember these with affection. Dating from late 1983 to late 1985, these are adidas Columbia and are my favourite trainers ever. They are the dog's knackers. Here is a pic of them, and also a pic of me in 1984 with my first pair!

Do those tiny little sneakers fit you?
Or do you just mount them on a little pedastal?

Serious (well, some of them are!!) question(s):

Do you wear them?

Is there a forum for people who collect Adidas trainers from the 80's

Do you have meets and all gather around admiring each others footwear?

Are these called Feet Meets?

Is it curable?

And the serious one, back in 1983/4, I had a pair of all White Adidas trainers, may have been described as boats. all I remember was they looked cool with me grey farah's and ski jumper (whatever happened to them?)
Can you name the trainer?
