Sports shoes are just too bright for me.

These Kenzo's look a little young for me. And these kenzos look a bit too trendy. But the Prada ones don't look to bad.

$250 dollars for a pair of fashionable sneakers??!! Granted, these look pretty cool (I'd even wear them), but the cost is outrageous. Must be a brand name thing (I've never heard of Prada ...)? Frankly I'm past the days of spending so much cash on a pair of casual shoes; I have better uses for my $$. But to each his/her own ... .

You are funny, Fraggony.

No I have never heard of Prada either. Must be a Euro thing.

Is that the same Prada that makes expensive ladies purses?

I have never heard of Prada.

In America, does a pair of trainers mean a bra?
A friend of mine once went to America and while in a shoe shop asked for a pair of trainers (sneakers in America) and got an odd look and then a bra.

Another thing why are they called "sneakers", do you sneak in them or something?

Over here, trainers are called either tennis shoes or sneakers. Cross-trainers are a specific type of athletic shoe, that's really the only time I hear the phrase here. First time I tried to get into a club in the UK, the doorman told me "no trainers", and I was a little confused.

About the bra incident: Small bras for girls (age 12-13, when they first start "blooming") are called training bras.

you guy's have never heard of prada's ? Funny I thought they were also for sale in the us/ uk or were ever you guy's live.

if you wear Prada's it basicly means that you have money and are willing to show it... ( so you now understand Wizards comment a little better,well for us dutchees wasn't hard, but still

)
Some people find these shoes gay, some people see them as metrosexual , to each his opinion.
As for me , don';t wear them , I wear puma's great shoes both for running / sporting and just walking etc.
And they look good , and aren't that expensive ( not every model though )
