JD Sports have recently announced their definitive list of the top ten men’s trainers and sports shoes. Mens football boots don’t qualify for the list unfortunately. Perhaps I should create my own ranking. While I’m at it, football equipment in general could do with an ordering system.

Anyway back to the trainers … What’s this? Nike Air’s only at number three? Something must be wrong there! Here’s the top ten, in reverse order:

10 – Nike Windrunner TR2
A classic trainer, released way back in the mid-1980’s and revamped for today’s generation.

9 – Adidas Originals Training P.T. 70s
First released back in the 1970’s by the German footwear giant, this trainer looks just as good as it ever, over three decades later.

8 – Adidas Originals Porsche Design Sports II
Utalising ‘Formotion’ technology, this smart looking trainer has classic written all over it.

7 – Adidas Originals Forest Hill Vintage
A lace up version of the popular Forest Hills range in a striking red colour.

6 - Nike Air Match Classic
A black tennis shoe? You cant be serious??

5 – Nike Court Tradition Velcro Woven
Probably the cleanest looking trainer ever invented, if you work in a hospital and need to be somewhere fast, you could do a lot worse than slipping a pair of these on.

4 – Adidas Originals Forest Hill Vintage
Harking back to the 1980’s, this distinctive trainer incorporates NASA technology. No honestly, it does.

3 – Nike Air Max Light
Originally released onto the market a couple of decades ago, Nike have given their legendary trainer another lease of life. Hurrah!

2 – Lacoste Regan 2
A new and updated version of Lacoste’s popular Deviation show, only available from JD Sports. Or failing that, your local Saturday morning market.

And in first place …

A tennis shoe that is exclusive to JD Sports, rather innovatively you can change the trainer’s appearance to suit your mood by adjusting its side stripes. Whatever will they think of next? Mens football boots that sing to you when you score a goal, perhaps? Now there’s an idea …
