Poll: best wrestling shoes

Here's a new feature I'm trying out. I need to know who you think make the best wrestling shoes!

From the Back of my Sneaker Cupboard #13

The Adidas Pretereo. Once available in several colours (black, blue, red and - for a very short time I think - white)but now rather hard to come by. Here is the red version.

Converse - superb in black and white

Superb black and white image...of black and white chucks!

Wrestling catch-up

Not enough wrestling on here lately. So here's a great photo to start putting that right.

They're here!

This week I received two pairs of white slip-on plimsolls, one of the few plimsoll types not yet in my collection. More soon.

Not everyone's cup of tea, even among the plimsolling fraternity. But I like them.

Today I am mostly wearing

...Awesome vintage unbleached white Chucks - USA-made, of course.

Chucks That Suck #6

I'm resurrecting this occasional post because they are doing it again! This time, the "100 Cany Peepz" model. Even the name sucks.

No, no, no, no, no. These are bad.

Jeremy Scott Adidas Boxing Boots

So, another designer has taken a stab at redesiging the classic adidas boxing boot. This time, it's a leopard-skin retread of the the classic Box Champ Speed model, with a Tygun II style sole. What do you think?




It's nice to see that this classic boxing boot is still a source of inspiration but why do they have to come up with designs that only a woman would wear? And aren't there plenty of superb adidas boxing boots in their back catalogue that deserve a re-issue instead?

Plimsolls portraits

As I'm seriously into my white plimsolls right now, here's three black and white portraits of a pile of white hitop plimsolls, formerly sold at River Island (where only the lowtop version is now available, sadly) but now on sale at the ludicrously-named Mr Shoes chain, for the ludicrous price of £19.99.
