I would much rather get my hands on some classic, non-fussy things, the likes of which were available before labels became important. I wouldn't want to rewind fully back, because then it would be black plymsoles, the like of which I wore to gym as a child. But something classic, comfortable, and respectable looking.<BR/><BR/>A few companies seem to be doing "work trainers" - shoes that look kind of work-like, usually entirely black - but are made of the same materials that they use for training shoes, and with similar internal properties.<BR/><BR/>Still, your AF-1s do look comfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-64678919073468707772007-10-09T10:00:00.000+01:002007-10-09T10:00:00.000+01:00Yep, I take the point...I should also remember tha...Yep, I take the point...<BR/><BR/>I should also remember that my great comic hero, Jack Benny, was still officially '39', even when he was ACTUALLY well on the way to being 81...!Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-62893539999587773972007-10-09T09:55:00.000+01:002007-10-09T09:55:00.000+01:00GILL comments...My mother, who was a very wise wom...GILL comments...<BR/><BR/>My mother, who was a very wise woman, always said that middle age was 5 years older than whatever age she was at the time.<BR/><BR/>I concur.Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-62556321769173766602007-10-09T07:51:00.000+01:002007-10-09T07:51:00.000+01:00I wish you good health to wear your swanky new tra...I wish you good health to wear your swanky new trainers Brian - Nike Air are pretty good - not only for your street cred.<BR/>However, I do feel I should take you to task a little for suggesting that you are getting old. Nowadays, being fifty something is comparatively young.<BR/>So, keep wearing the Air 1s and continue to feel younger.SharonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369769107190148944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-39680639843113877832007-10-09T07:15:00.000+01:002007-10-09T07:15:00.000+01:00"Exit turnstile from middle-age"??Hey, less of tha..."Exit turnstile from middle-age"??<BR/>Hey, less of that please, Brian!<BR/>As a 50-something myself (OK so I'm at the beginning of my decade!)
