Seriously who pays £270,000 a week for somebody to wear them?

I wondered why that Nike jacket didn't fit.

Mini-rant inc.

Always bothers me why companies like Saucony, Brooks etc can't hire a decent designer. Like seriously, how hard can it be to hire someone who can draw. Loads of amazing product designers all over the web posting stuff that they design for free as hobbyists. Yet Saucony persist in outsourcing design to playschools.

Takes the ****. Nike hire amazing designers. Hate them all the you want, but they do spend on their design staff. Actually feel annoyed when I buy Nike running trainers now. Few times I've been tied between a Brooks or Nike and ended up with the Nike, based on the style. I can run in anything if it's light and comfy so design becomes a major deciding factor, especially when a lot of Brooks and Saucony often aren't simply less stylish, they're actually disgusting and cheap looking. Not great when they can cost £120.


Case in point. A Saucony flagship model.



Look at the colourway, that alone should give you an insight into the maturity of the designer. That guy shouldn't be allowed near a colour palette. The design of the shoe itself shows that no expense has been spent on it. They simply made the shoe they wanted, albeit a great one in this case, and didn't bother with the design. Fine, but don't charge over a hundred quid for it then. At least have some savvy and black the whole thing out so it's not so noticeable.

Anyway, heat. Girlfriend wants some tab running socks. Only Nike has them in the size/colour at the moment so this code lets her have them.

seriously, who pays £270 for a pair of football boots?

need some new trainers, here's hoping I can afford with the discount now! thanks

Oh, ok!

That's very interesting, where did you get this information out of interest ?

Expired.

@Initiation, where did you hear that? Wanting to buy several items from them!!

Has anyone else's Quidco failed to track?

30% off soon from what I've heard

Quite like these

Code seems to have expired

EXPIRED

Give it up mate. You're making yourself look stupid.

code has expired now

This whole thread was not about running shoes, it was about a discount at Nike, and the whole first half of your rant was about "Always bothers me why companies like Saucony, Brooks etc can't hire a decent designer." Its best to just accept it when someone shows you are clearly wrong and have made a fool of yourself, dont try to back track out of it...

When runners talk about running shoes they means shoes designed for running in. The 'specialist' part is obviously implicit.

Thanks for dragging the discussion down to the silliest it can get so you can fit in some special edition fashion trainers to make a non-point.

So when you said "I can run in anything if it's light and comfy" you really meant to say you can only run in specialist running shoes? ok...

When you refer to "design" of a running shoe, are you just referring to the end colour scheme / appearance ?

more from Saucony etc

I buy stylish things because they look better than things that aren't stylish. People will and won't like what you wear no matter what it is, so no point caring what people think.

Actually, people who try to blend in and buy normy clothes usually are the most self conscious and afraid of other people's opinion. Too afraid to wear something stylish in case they get judged.

dont walk in dog crap then lol

These adidas even have a dogcrap storage built in to them - great designing !

WELL FLIPPIN` SAID!! What IS the deal with these "picks" anyways? Are HUKD being PAID to advertise for Nike, for example? meh!

Ordered 2 pairs of Nike air max boots. Code works. Used TCB. Items got delivered too.
Quality is excellent.
Ordered two more last night. Code still working. Waiting for Quidco to track.
Thanks OP

Struggling with what's sarcasm and what's not on this thread. Anyway, really wish we would do away with these HUKD Picks.

I think Vanderlust is referring to their trainers that are exclusivity designed for running, they look pretty wack. The limited edition collabs and 'streetwear' editions look much better and involve a different type of designer.

Fab thanks op just ordered my son a pair of Jordans he will be over the moon with them. Heat added

yup your right there awful

Quidco is saying 22% - worth a punt I reckon, still the Air Force ones are still a bargain £44, cheers OP, go forth with heat sir

Potentially the worst looking trainers/shoes I've ever seen

This is still on but now Quidco are offering a whopping 22% Cashback!

even on sale still stupid expensive

Shoes are for Premiership footballers or bankers. Go to Adidas.com Or wait until Boxing Day if you want some Air Max`s under 55 quid. :disappointed: (in 7 & 8`s only)

Not many.

Ordered! hope 22% Quidco tracks too n paid...

Code is not working?

Has anyone managed to make the CLNOV15 work for products that are not on sale? Thanks.

no shoes under 55

Nike never tracks my Quidco, which sucks.

Quidco up to 22% for "all sales"

Probably a banker who received mountains of taxpayers bail out money a few years ago :smirk:

seriously, who pays £270 for a pair of football boots?

I used TOPCASHBACK for 22% off and received £9 cashback notice in a few minutes for Air force one's which were £80 and reduced to £44.79 - logged into TCB, used the CLNOV15 code and technically paid £35:smiley:

Jump on this

Thanks

Ordered Thank you!

The few sale "pub shoes" here are still too expensive, even with 20% off. Adidas know how to do sales, Nike`ll have to wait until post Christmas.

Code won't work on a football

Take advantage of this offer and keep those kids in the sweatshops in work

No t-lite shoes on their website. Looks like they are only selling and discounting their overpriced stuff.

Some serious runners don't care about how they look. That's fine. Some serious runners want to look good while they're running. That's fine too.

I don't understand why being a serious runner and looking good should be mutually exclusive. Strange train of thought.

And I completely agree with the mini-rant. The running focussed brands really should invest in some decent designers. Those blue and yellow shoes are horrific.

awesome nice find!

Using that code, i just got a pair of Hypervenoms for £128 and maybe -12% Quidco. Normal price is something like £230. The copies on eBay go for more than that!
Heat added and thanks to the contributor that added the code - sorry, i should have noted your ID.
I still think it is a ludicrous amount to pay for boots, but my Son just won't listen and with X-Mas just around the corner....

My daughter has just (aged 11) decided she likes football so thats a ball ordered for christmas :smiley:

Hot

Seriously......... Wtf....... http://m.nike.com/gb/en_gb/pd/nikelab-fc-real-bristol-storm-fit-jacket/pid-10231302/pgid-10334414

Lovely. Time to order some xmas presents!

23.1% TCB at the mo...

Just tried it works now. There was a glitch on the website earlier I think because it just went to the loading screen then stopped before.

Has anyone tried the 20% code CLNOV15?

When I apply it doesn't work for some reason...

So I guess all the good-looking stylish pro runners aren't serious then, by your logic.

usually if you call up to order you can blagg free delivery anyway.

Heat Added

People are pretty narrow minded if all you accosiate nike with is chavs.

he gets em free because he's not half bad at kicking a ball

Heat added, but Nike's usp appears to be to differentiate itself on price as a premium brand, away from the likes of Sports Direct brands. My advice is to visit a Nike factory outlet, and get them at a realistic / value price there.

Just a warning,they mess you about with Quidco on this deal !

LOL

Does this also include Nike iD purchases?

Dunno why Nike don't round all items of to £100 instead off £89.99They have never been compertative.
I have never shopped there and never will.

i liked the original comment, then tried to multi click like when i got to yours.

Nike is just too expensive :disappointed:

Nike is always good stuff:) especially Jordan line up!! Great find OP

£ 35.99 - 9% quidco

Plus Quidco!

Posted this a couple of weeks ago and got -27

I'm just shopping round for some air max 90's might take a look on there.

Clearly there is a minimum spend, otherwise I would demand empty boxes delivered pronto!

Code FA1015 expired on 18 October.

Nice find op

Tacky junk for your feet.
