    Normally I am not a big fan of trainers, but they look good, however I am too old to wear that sort of thing..............
    Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........

    I indeed want them too, they are nice. Can't seem to find a seller online. They seem to be in other colours but not the black rainbow version.

    They'd be so perfect for unicycling as the bottoms are flat. But ?64. I've not spent that much on trainers for a while. I usually go off to Camden town and pick a similar pair up for ?20 tops.

    I'd love a pair of these, but at 64 quid they're a bit much for a Dole-ite like me.....only a couple of months 'till my birthday though, so if I drop enough hints....:D

    They have the colours and the ZX but no reference to the Sinclair Spectrum or Uncle Clive.

    What's the best price anybody has found for these ?.

    Offspring in Birmingham have (allegedly) got them in stock at ?64 but if there cheaper on the net I will just go and try them to find out what size I want.

    If you have one leg and don't mind the differing sizes in the displays outside.

    I met up with a mate of mine, whom I hadn't seen for years, and after the meeting he started legging it down Church Street (THE main shopping street in Liverpool) to catch a bus.

    When he got about 40 yards away I shouted "STOP THAT MAN! HE HAS STOLEN MY BAG!"

    He got rugby tackled to the ground as I was was running away!

    That was the last I ever saw of him!

    Seeing as this thread is somewhat loosely Speccy oriented, and still on-track that way, I am moving it to the Sinclair Misc section of the forum.

    Yay! I purchased a pair...

    Although given the rather fetching rainbow stripe, one should be very careful where one wears them...

    You know after 5 days of owning these shoes I have just noticed somthing exiting that tells me these shoes are undeniably ZX Spectrum influenced.

    Look at the backs. :D :D mega :lol: I have so got to get a 2nd pair now.

    Nice trainers, but no way I would pay that price.

    ...Most I spent on trainers is ?15 quid from shoe zone...

    I may dig out my old doctor martin boots and paint my own with sinclair rainbow stripe and logo, It a helluva lot cheaper :-)

    Saw a similar thing at World of Amiga show... Some guy walking around in boing ball painted shoes. They looked really cool :-)
