Trainers dilemma

Broncho · 02-22-2020, 11:35 AM

My sister in law knowing that I’m a bit of a shoes / trainers whore bought me a lovely pair of Adidas Gazelles for Christmas, personalised with my initials on, I was bevvied when she gave me them so I only had a quick glance, lovely.

She keeps asking why I’m not wearing them, the issue is they’re not red like they’re supposed to be they’re frikkin pink!

I put them on today

I have to wear them at some point but I can’t go out in them as I’ll get lynched.

What to do?

Just wear them when you're going to see her.

They’re not Mr Blobby pink, they’re like a dark pink, probably won’t come out on the camera but I’ll have a go in a bit.

Christ, how big are your initials!!!

TBF not too bad and I'm certain you can carry that look. As others have said, nothing you can do with a custom order really, at the worst wear for family meet ups.

Should go well with the Wild Thing pants?

Good Spot Chris...lol

That is ‘red’ as far as a pair of suede Gazelles go! I get it not pillar box red but it is ‘red’.

It’ll cost you but you could get them coloured a more true red:

There’s a few companies out there who offer similar services.

330XDave · 02-22-2020, 02:37 PM

Still can't tell seeing as you've coloured 90% of them over in pink

Watsey · 02-22-2020, 03:47 PM

A nice example of Candy Apple Red Velour.

You'll look lush.

They are as red as they get.

Yep!

Your get away with them in the summer on holiday. But I would suggest not wearing them down the pub with your mates.

Or you could possibly get some overshoe protectors like these.

At least you can go bowling now

JD6 · 02-23-2020, 05:53 AM

I think that you may be focusing on the wrong thing - no one will even notice if the trainers are red or not when you're wearing that Wild Thing miniskirt.

A few muddy puddles would certainly help those!
