I've been the proud owner of a pair of Adidas Originals X Alexander Wang Bball Soccer trainers for about six weeks now. I've broken them in, braved through the blisters (took them off in Boots on Carnaby Street so I could apply a layer of six plasters) worn them in the sand (big mistake) hoovered the suede and kept them in as nice condition as I can, whilst also wearing them as much as humanly possible.
Falling from £200 to £140 in the sale at PamPam and after canvasing basically everyone I know about whether they were too expensive, I bought the shoes. I remember walking along Brick Lane like it was the happiest day of my life, I was so pleased when the shop assistant asked me if I wanted to try them on, and when I left I carried the shoe box like it was a stack of important books I'd just checked out the library. (see photo above)
I opted for a size seven and as much as it pains me to say, they're a tiny bit on the tight side. I've got quite wide feet, but then the shoes themselves are fairly narrow. They've definitely loosened as I've worn them more though. As for the overall shape, they have a nice look on foot and a strong silhouette which means whatever else I wear tends to be quite muted. Due to the weather been so hot over here, I've worn them with black runner shorts and an oversized tee. When its been cooler in the evenings I've just worn a pair of black jeans instead.
Sorry, I have no fit pictures yet, hopefully, when I'm away I can get some good ones!
