Trainers - Adidas or K-Swiss

Triton

Looking to get a new pair of runners this week. Would be worn mostly with jeans - just a pair to wear to college or down to the local etc. Have it down to two pairs that I'm looking at...

Adidas (can be seen at http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/item_main_frameset.asp?s_ref=340390 )which are €105 in Footlocker and can be got with blue stripes instead of red (altho I think the red looks better).

K-Swiss (can be seen at http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/item_main_frameset.asp?s_ref=341077 ) which are about €80 in Footlocker.

I prefer the Adidas but they're expensive and alot of people seem to have them. Which do people think?

I see the K-Swiss much more often tbh.
Just get whichever ones you prefer...so if it's the Adidas, then get them!

Go for the K-Swiss, they look much nicer.

How U Like That

go for the "K-Swiss" they look way better!

Go to Schuh better value and comfort for about€70

I've seen Schuh in Galway. Do they have stores in Dublin?

Endurance Man

Neither, get a comfy pair of skate shoes .

I'd go with the Adidas. Don't think the picture there does them justice and that's why people have said get the K-Swiss. The K-Swiss are very plain if you ask me.

According to the site, there are Schuh stores on O'Connell Street and in the Jervis Centre. Not sure whereabouts in either though.

Schuh in the Jervis centre is upstairs near escalator up to the food court I think, haven't been in there in a while.

On O'Connell St it's on the same side as the GPO, before you come to the GPO if you're walking up from the quays

There's also a store in Liffey Valley

Oh and of those 2 I prefer the adidas

Personal opinion, all white runners are just so manky looking, and no matter how much money you spend, will always look cheap.

I'd not like either pair, but if I was pushed, I'd plump for the adidas, at least they have a bit of colour. Have a bit of balls about you and go for something that isn't so mundane. check out the adidas Gerd Muller (also on the schuh website) in the royal blue colour. I've seen them in the shops and that blue colour is just stunning, a real stand out. Very nice indeed.

Triton

Sorry mate but the Gerd Mullers are a bit too funky for me...

I have the adidas goodyear trainers , but will be buying a pair of ksiss style trainer , maybe lacoste because there so much more comfy no other reason !

Have to agree . Not my taste at all, trainers are pretty bad, but completely white ones hurt my eyes >.<.

jcoote

i am switchin between a pair of good year and k-swiss at the minute and tbh the adidas are covered easier by jeans but the kswiss are a tad more comfie so i suppose its up to u

Of the two I'd say go for the Adidas, just because those particular Kswiss are far too plain for my own liking.

Squirrel

Of the 2, the Adidas, more colour. What about Nike Air Force 1?



I have a pair of these, very comfy. Oh yeah I put purple laces in mine, so if you see anyone with them it's me

zAbbo

Aisling(",)

The K-Swiss are nice and as they are white the will go with more then the adiddas will.

dmck2886

Get the adidas I have a pair dead comfortable.

jesus_thats_gre

Am a fan of K Swiss myself.. Had the same as those only all in white..

Air Force 1s are dope..

Triton

A mate reckons I can get the Adidas in Heatons for €90 so think I'm getting them.

JC 2K3

The K-Swiss are skanger shoes, the Addidas ones might just about be acceptable, but have to agree with whoever said it, white runners look crap.

magpie

White runners are for Knackers.

Endurance Man

White runners are for Knackers.

Really wanted to say this but wasnt sure .

trainers is more of an american word if any, runners being english/irish etc.

wouldn't go for either tbh but then again it's up to you

In fairness mate, if you're living in Ireland, buying white trainers coming into the winter is suicidal. Gerd Mullers are nice, but are a slipper-type trainer, no use for the winter IMO.

Try Office in Garfton Street, they have the adidas winter range, including All Round Black, and All Black, at least one of which I think are also stocked by Schuh.

But don't go for white.

Lemlin

In fairness, I think the Irish weather will wreck any pair, no matter what colour.

I'd be more inclined to go for a brown pair like the Kickers prefab at http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/male_main_frameset.html which you could at least get into some nightclubs with as they look like shoes.

Lemlin

Sorry, that should of been http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/item_main_frameset.asp?s_ref=350162
