‘Sneakers’ and the people that buy them.
By golly, the people that queue up just to buy the latest ‘sneakers’ (properly known as running shoes and/or plimsolls) are cunts, are they not?
Shambling dross willing to lavish lots of cash on something worthless – for no other reason than to signal to other shambling dross that they crapped lots of cash on something worthless for no other reason than to signal to other shambling dross.
But of course, I simply fail to recognise the full richness of the complex and beautiful ‘culture’ of said shambling dross, a state of affairs soon and surely to be amended with the inevitable endowment for the Chair for Sneaker Studies at Random Oxbridge Identikit College, with a healthy subsidy from the taxpayer, of course.

If it wasn’t for “sneakers” what would the chavs spend their drug money on? 🤣
I wear Nike air, not to be flash but they can be worn all day straight from the box, they are light, incredibly comfortable and when they are dirty just dump them in the washer. (On a low temperature setting).
And I get them cheap of course – fiscal fecundity from the Fox! 🤣👍

They used to be called marathons.
(Don’t give up your day job of flashing at old ladies in the local park (is that banned under lockdown now?) – DA)

I think Miserable counts that as part of his daily exercise.

Morning admin morning all.
No, the healthy pursuit of exposure is still allowed, but with the 2metre rule I have to hand out magnifying glasses first!!

Nearly right Miserable; it was Snîggers….. 🏃🏿♂️

I have some Nike Airs, I was thinking just yesterday that they have their own in-built ‘support bubbles’. Basically anti COVID shoes!

I understand some persons go so far as to collect them,like coins or stamps.
I’d rather collect Diane Abbott ‘s used knickers.
Just Do It.
Then Fuck Off.

Never really got the trainer collecting thing, use them, wear them out, throw them out.
But some daft buggers will spend thousands because a 7 foot tall black criminal used to play netball in them.
Each to their own I suppose, but I would rather collect a Lancia Volumex, they are marvellous!

Worked with a bloke some years ago who was clued up as to what certain trainers would sell for.
Apparently one of the trainer manufacturers put out a red, white and blue special edition on the 4th of July and these are worth a fortune.
The enterprising lad had already bribed the store manager and bagged all three colours on the day of release.
He had already sold them for £450 profit by the time he had picked them up from the shop.
Clever lad.

Mugs paying anything up to £350 for a pair of designer trainers that no one would really notice unless you bragged about it in front of your mates.
But just like with Apple and Samsung fanboys, as soon as a new pair come out – despite looking more or less the same apart from an extra stripe – the old ones would be binned and new ones purchased (or pinched)
Btw. the bloke in the header pic reminds of the old Southampton FC boss – Lawrie McMenemy in his prime.
That is all

It’s all about being one-up on their Sooty/Chavvy pals,I suppose…fucking ridiculous Cunts…I have my riding-boots handmade by W+H Gidden of Clifford Street,London, they are,of course,ruinously expensive but I’m worth it and can easily afford it. I wouldn’t dream of wearing them just to try and impress my County-set friends however,that is why I am typically self-effacing and only mention their exclusivity if pressed as to why I have painted them Massey-Ferguson red and written “600 Pounds a boot” in marker-pen on them…I can tell by the looks that I get, be it whether I’m pushing my trolley through Aldi’s or attending a Spring Cotillion dance, that everyone is envious but I don’t wear them for that reason…I wear them to give the Plebs something to admire in these dark times…MYSELF.

PS Admin…What about my dead mongy-fella ?
(Our apologies. We’ll be right on it, just as soon as we’ve finished looking at old pics of the recently deceased Tanya Roberts – DA)
(DA’s right hand is a bit tired now, so I’ll have to see if I can be bothered to write up a new Dead Pool – NA)

Ive never heard them called sneakers here, very American that, always called them trainers.
I own a pair of Adidas gazelle for the gym thats it,
As im not on benefits or recently released from prison.

I haven’t owned a pair of gym-shoes since I left fucking school.
Morning,MNC
Morning,Admin
Morning,All.

Morning Dick,
When moving young uns or students sometimes the little cunts have loads of trainers still in the boxes they came in.
Occasionally ill amuse myself by swapping them into mismatched pairs.
Your Deadpool win hasnt been verified yet has it?
Admin said something about counting ‘postal votes’?

@ FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS….I am currently occupying my bunker issuing writs and demands for a popular uprising to a surprisingly uninterested Public (some have even said that I’m a fucking Nutter..they’ll pay for that when my victory is confirmed in the highest Court in the Land)….I WILL NOT BE CHEATED OUT OF MY VICTORY

I was hoping for it to be clarified so a new pool could be put and I could nominate Tanya Roberts who at the time had been declared dead then had not died but was seriously ill and has now been confirmed dead.

I wish she would make her mind up.
She was bloody awful in A View To A Kill but quite a sexy lady.
At least until death (?) by plastic surgery.

LL…I had my eye on that Joey Deacon but the Fucker has beaten me to the punch… I’ve been out-manoeuvred by Joey fucking Deacon….it’s a disgrace.

PS…LL…just nominate her anyhow and then declare “Shenanigans” if deprived of your victory.

You silly bastard Dick. Haven’t you seen the Wanted posters all over Fiddler University? Apparently they are looking for a drunken pervert wearing “boots painted Massey-Ferguson red with ‘600 Pounds a boot’ written in marker-pen on them” who groped several female undergraduates on campus last night. Luckily the sort of twats who spunk 9000 quid on the ‘education’ provided at FU are unlikely to frequent these hallowed pages.
Please deposit one million Swiss francs in my usual Zurich account – preferably in Reichsbank gold – and I will forget to inform the police of this confession.
On another topic, do you know who recently broke into my office at the university and replaced my notes with soiled pages from Reader’s Wives and scrawled ‘MNC is a poof’ and ‘Gemma Arterton takes it up the arse’ on my walls?
PS – anyone on these pages, other than the esteemed General Cuntster, who refers to trainers as ‘sneakers’ should be choked to death with one of Diane Abbott’s used tampons.
8
Does Gemma Arterton take it up the arse?

I was under the impression that sneakers were some sort of vital commodity like coffee or grain after watching the peaceful BLM protests across American last summer and seeing members of underprivileged comoonitees with armfuls of box fresh Nikes fleeing a burning sports store.
14
Sneakers, fuck off they’re called daps boyo, only used by spongers to collect their giros every Thursday, and my cunt of a son in law the fucking guttersnipe cunt!!!!
13
How long do these expensive trainers last?
I have feet like boats so struggle to find trainers that are wide enough ☹️.
I have purchased quality boots, walking, motorcycle, etc and generally, the longevity increases, as the cost rises.

Didn’t hold out much hope for a cunting about sneakers but by the end I found myself in awe of Chimp Lickers perfectly crafted cunting.
Nice work.
4
Seconded; a lovely bit of cunting is this.
Right; better get on to Amazon to order up a pair, and get some of those nasty-looking light grey trackkie bottoms as well…

I have a smalldegree of expertise in footwear manufacturing industry having tried to sell leather since boyhood (I am embarrassed to tell you how fucking long that is) . There is not a pair of trainers in this world that costs more than about £10 ex factory. The rest is all Design costs,transport, overheads etc.
At my first meeting of our local branch of The British Boot and Shoe Institution there was a guest speaker from BSC, owners of about 60+per cent of British 👠 shoe shops. Some rotten sod (a Rushden shoe manufacturer) told me to ask him why it cost 3 times as much to make a pair of shoes as it did to make them. The bastard at the front tore into me and wanted to know which company I worked for and everything else so he could have us black listed. It did do me a bit of good though with everyone else there though.

I worked in a shoe factory for a while, just down the road in Higham Ferres, welt making wasn’t for me though. The tanning room is one of the stinkiest places on earth. They should take kids in the last year of primary round the average shoe factory and tell them if you make zero effort at getting an education, this is where you end up.
6
I failed my A Levels so that is maybe why I ended up in the leather trade.
However there is nothing wrong working in a factory and making things. One of my favourite customers told me a story that he failed his 11-plus and ended up in the local Secondary Modern. On the first day of term the Headmaster had all the new boys in assembly and said to them that he knew their parents were disappointed with them but they weren’t for Grammar School that was for the clever kids who would end up being doctors, lawyers and accountants. He then said but I am going to show you how to make things and if you listen carefully, work hard and have a bit of luck you will end up employing doctors, lawyers and accountants. When I knew him Peter had private medical insurance for everyone in his company, an employment and a commercial lawyer on call and two qualified accountants working for him. Four other children in his class had also made it in life. All thanks to a great headmaster.

Have to disagree Mr Sock, I spent a good few years in factories as a machine operator or machine setter. It was hell, especially if your operating the same machine day after day, week in week out. You need the ability to turn off your mind or have a frontal lobotomy.
It’s a miserable way to make a living and I think the worst way to spend a human life. There are harder jobs, there are generally more dangerous jobs but if you’re IQ is approaching 3 figures there are few more soul destroying jobs.
One of my first factory jobs was stacking bottles onto pallets as they came down the shoot, the fella next to me had done it for 10 years, I lasted a shift and a half.

In my book, the only acceptable footwear in town would be black lace ups eg Oxfords, brogues for preference. For Fridays in town and weekends, brown lace ups are satisfactory, particular if weekending in the country.
“Sneakers” are for sportspeople. The slippery slope to wearing sneakers for non-sports people can be traced to the dreadfully louche fashion for slip ons eg loafers. You know the sort of things, cunters, as worn by eyties. This fashion should be avoided as it is a milestone on the road to complete degeneracy.

I’ll buy that for a Dollar! (They go like fk!)
But of course no trainer wearing ruffians would be allowed in it! 😃

I suppose modern day trainers are similar to flashy sports cars.
I wonder how a collection starts, what inspires the collector, and when it stops.
I’ve not been a trainers person. More sort of comfy shoes and slippers. It is sometimes difficult for me to get comfortable shoes as I require an H fitting shoe. Velcro fastening as well because laces are a hassle. As soon as I tie them they undo.
Do they still make those shoes with the compass in the heel?
3
I remember those, Spoon. Didn’t Bob Wilson advertise them on telly?

Morning, Twenty. 🙂 Quite possibly.
I found this video of a gentleman retelling of the way finder tracker shoes of yesteryear…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7jpIv3LkUuM
Sounds like it could it be a young Fred Didner or our very own MNC of ISAC website? 🙂
Morning, Cuntlestiltskin. 🙂 Good idea. I shall give them a look.
Morning all. 🙂

Spoons, you can often find an excellent selection of Velcro fastening, comfort wear leather look shoes in the back pages of tabloids Sunday colour supplements, along with non-crease nylon slacks at a very competitive price indeed.

My old man had a collar stud with a compass in it. He had been sent it whilst a POW in Poland.

Trainer-plimsoll-sneaker fetish is for stupid cunts too invested in their own self esteem . The mugs!
But far worse is the endless stream of New Year Resolution joggers cluttering up the pavements at 7am on a frosty winter morning! These are invariably (a) women (b) middle aged (c) fat (d) wearing pink dayglo and lycra (e) plugged into an IPod, and (f) clearly ‘in distress’ ie barely moving.
Don’t the vain cunts realise that marathons are currently banned and treating the inevitably twisted knee/ankle is the last thing A&E have time or sympathy for right now?!

I must have owned a pair of these shoes once, I can’t really remember. It would likely be in my teens, when the shoes or jeans or whatever you bought would be trendy because that’s all there was. Since then whenever someone has commented on the style of my clothing I’ve replied ‘I don’t follow fashion, I lead it’.

Why do these items appeal to rap stars and the underclass so much? It is one of life’s mysteries why they want to appear dressed in a sort of sporting attire all the fucking time.

Apparently new sneakers aren’t released, they are ‘dropped’.
That cunt Kanye West is always talking ’bout his latest drop… fam….
The cunt was dropped on his head once too often for sure, alas not hard enough to put us out of his misery.

Dropped-Trans-atlantic speak.
A mate of mine was a club DJ in London in the early 2000’s.
Craig David was making an “Appearance” to promote a new record.
during the soundcheck, my mate asked him:
“whens the new song out?”
He replied:
“It hasn’t dropped yet man, it will be dropped real soon!” in a face Yank twang.
My mate said he was a complete cunt for that😂👍

Adidas classics like Kick, Samba, Beckenbauer and Stan Smith.
All other trainers can fuck off. Especially that Nike crap.
