In the description:

"I PAID £750 FOR THESE"

Well the poor chap definitely does have a medical problem. However the bad news is that there's no known cure for being a mug.

IM SO SO SO GUTTED THAT IM HAVEING TO SELL THESE BUT GOT A MEDICAL PROBLEM AND NEED MONEY ASAP
Let me guess, you have a compulsive mental disorder which makes you spend ridiculous amounts of money on a pair of $hit old Nike trainers, right?

THESE WILL FIT MINT
Polo, Extra Strong, Murray? Please specify.

I bought a few pairs of trainers in the sales in Orlando whilst on holiday.I got a pair of Adidas: Japan(brown) for $13.50+tax(6.5%),Vietnam(red) for $13.50+tax and a pair of Campus(khaki-never seen them in that colour)for $12.50+tax.The total cost was about £25 for all 3 pairs.I thought it was incredibly cheap and a mate who is into his clothes just told me the Japans were £150 when they came out over here!!!!!!FFS £150 for a pair of really thin(kangeroo leather)pumps with a wafer thin sole that doesn't even look like it could be redone when it wears out.

I wish I'd bought them out of stock now.

Would be great if Nike decided to reproduce retro trainers like these

When are you ever going to wear these ? Each step is costing you a quid in wear and tear!

I've got a pair of Original 1981 Adidas Shell Toes (Superstar) and was wearing them in a club in the early nineties (just before they were re-introduced over here) and a bloke came up to me and offered me £200 for them. I declined He kept hassling me for them but nothing would've made me part with them at the time.

Now however... hmm...
