Hmmm.

In P.E. lessons at secondary school, anyone wearing Gola trainers was met with screams of "Gooooooollllllaaaaaaaaa!" and people pointing at them. :s

look at the bottom-right photo - those trainers don't even fit!

would of got a hiding if wore anything like that in my school

and the strap is not even in it's slot on top of the toe clip........

And the crank is on the wrong side on the bottom left ;)

and the strap's tucked into the buckle... and the toelip's palstic... and I bet the chain's slack... and... and...

they're flippin Gola, they need all the cool they can get

And the crank is on the wrong side on the bottom left ;)

left-side chainrings are very now, eh pj?

Dunno what's more worrying - Gola's, pony fixed gear images or the fact you were looking for shoes at Urban Outfitters!? :-$

I've had the same pair of Gola trainers for four years and they're still alive. I had no idea how uncool i was...

heheh! sometimes they have cheap kicks in their sale.

Funny, my friend is a pretty good fashion photographer (he's just bought my IRO off me and is loving it) and was kicking around the idea of using fixed gear as a basis for the shots. Has decided against it for exactly the reason shown above - bandwagon jumping and getting it all wrong....

you're not funny.

your mother, on the other hand, is hilarious.

Photoben if your mate is half decent he wouldn't have put that howler in on the bottom right! looks like a kid stole his dads shoes.. that is great!

Speaking of style. has anyone seen the canvas ankle high boots that have fittings for speedplay pedals?
Saw them on this kid in New Bond St, Making the most out of the wet weather by locking the rear wheel with one leg

Ben's mate didn't do that.

next their goin to name shoes after... WTF?!?

bens mate didnt do that..

come on EM, just a few apostrophes in that sentence would help.

i'd hate to reawaken then old 'black brake cable paedo' issue.

Low Prostitution levels were the result of an increased police presence.

and the strap's tucked into the buckle... and the toelip's palstic... and I bet the chain's slack... and... and...

Palstic Toelip's are actually the new balck FWIW.

Anyone remember greenflash?

Green flashes are real (not illusory) phenomena seen at sunrise and sunset, when some part of the Sun suddenly changes color (at sunset, from red or orange to green or blue). The word “flash” refers to the sudden appearance and brief duration of this green color, which usually lasts only a second or two at moderate latitudes.

Anyone remember greenflash?

What do ya mean remember? They are now the ulitmate hipster commodity, and I'm proud to say I love them.

greenflash-gits...

when i was at school i droned on to my selectively deaf folks about needing a pair of these, but was told i didn't need them and my black gimp pumps were more than good enough - the sub text being i was shite at sport and they were not throwing money down the shitter if i wasn't going to make the school team.

looking at them now (both shoes and folks) is bringing back mixed feelings, i may have to buy more stuff from wiggle to put things right.

green flash are guff and so are fucking gola. It's all about Jordan 1s and 3s!!
