For those that don't know, and why would you, I collect Adidas trainers, a passion I've had since I was a kid, so with that in mind, here's my 1199S in its new trackday bodywork...
Nice paint job very unusual but striking colours,look forward to seeing the bike in the flesh soon I hope

Sounds like you had a hard yoof bud. Dodging skinheads and casuals, although I just used to lump them into the same category.
Skinheads, casuals and fizzie boys. Urgh! Sarf East Landun was a tricky place to be an 18yr old Mod/Scooterist. Always got along fine with punks tho. Some nice gratuitous bin shots too. My daughters lives and dies in Sambas as if to rub salt into the wounds.
My Daughter loves the Adidas Clam Shell toe caps and never ever mixes her brands on wearing. All Adidas or all Nike. Along with some other brands that were new to me
Adidas Rom - I lived in those through the 70’s. Was annoyed when they changed the sole design after a few years.
When they changed them I stopped buying Adidas and switched to hightop Reebok, occasional Converse followed by Nike in the 90s. I rarely wear track shoes these days. Though I have a ten year old never worn PUMP UP Reeboks just incase...
