Anyone miss Green Flash Trainers?

Whatever happened to Green Flash trainers from Dunlop? They were the staple of every cool kid's wardrobe back in the day. So many memories of scuffing them up playing footie. Their canvas comfort was unmatched. Everything's all high-tech now, but I wouldn’t trade those for any new-fangled brand.

You could probably find some lookalikes if you scour the vintage markets in Shoreditch or Camden. Modern brands do remakes of classic designs too! Nothing like a dash of retro style mixed with new tech though!

Nostalgia is nice and all, but doesn't anyone else remember how they gave you blisters if worn for too long? 🙃 Always had to wear them with double socks. Still, something about the old-school charm...

I remember wearing those for every PE class! Lasted me through all the muddy football games. And when you'd draw on them in marker, trying to make them cooler. 😂 Hope they make a comeback someday so I can teach my kids what REAL trainers are!

They were comfy but let's be real, the soles wore out so fast! 😂 I admit I loved mine tho, always rocked them with my go-to tracksuit. Nowadays I’m all about tech shoes but wouldn't mind a retro pair for a good throwback.

They're an interesting part of sneaker history actually. The Green Flash trainers were super popular in the 70s and 80s and even had a bit of a revival in the 2000s. Dunlop was known for their rubber products, so perfecting those sneakers was right up their alley. With Nike and Adidas dominating the scene, they've kinda faded, but you might still find some in niche shops or online collectors.

Green Flash! I remember begging my mum for a pair when I got my first allowance! I think they're still around but def not as popular. Some retro stores might still carry them, or try searching online. It's the memories that count, right?

Oh man, those Green Flash trainers were everything back in the day! 😍 Remember pairing them with those neon windbreakers? 🌀 Such a vibe. Couldn't agree more, they're classic and comfy. Dunlop really had it right with those kicks.
