Lonsdale apparel

Couldn't give a **** what I wear for training. Personally I have a bit of reverse snobbery for people who come to train in immaculate brand new clobber. Maybe that's because I'm a natural scruff who doesn't care about labels etc.

The thing is that Lonsdale stuff isn’t that cheap particularly, it’s just not very good.

I used to work at Sports Direct from about 2006-2010, so towards the back of end of the ‘peak’ Lonsdale fashion era if you could call it that and we used to sell tonnes of the stuff, even though there were plenty of cheaper brands - Umbro etc.

As ejc says, their trainers are particularly dire. Back then, every trainer was a knock off of a Nike or Adidas one. The most popular ones, the Wimbledons were knock off Stan Smiths, but still cost the best part of £30 for an adult pair. Same with the Camdens, which were naff Adi Racers. Just couldn’t get my head around it, you could buy similar cheap and nasty trainers for a tenner on the next aisle, or you could splash out another £20 or £30 and have the legit Nike or Adidas versions.

When you see a guy throwing 70 quid away in a fruity whilst necking a few pints of Carling, wearing Lonsdale slip ons and a tap out t-shirt you know something is up. Trainers are ridiculously expensive these days but I get all mine on ebay, thanks to people who can't spell I've got some absolute bargains in the past.
