[Albion] Dress like RDZ - the shoes

[Is it PotG?]

Seems a bit off he wears 400 sov St Louis, and our players run around in these it appeared yesterday.

I genuinely though he wore Vivienne Westwood.

I think it was common knowledge that plenty have worn Vivienne Westwood, certainly when she was younger and scrubbed up.

 

[Live by the sea]

I think you’re probably both.

How are you a mod ? Seriously.

He likes The Jam and rides a Vespa.

What did you call these at school down here?

Up North we called these "Plimmies" or "Road Slappers"

I think we just called them plimsoles.
My dad always called them daps, he was from the West Country and it comes from Dunlop Athletic Plimsols.

Thanks. I wasn't planning on buying a pair. However they don't look proper dirty to me. What about these, featured in Vogue:

Somebody I know who works for the club in a support role told me they're only supposed to wear Nike trainers

This is true.

I'm sure I heard a journalist on a podcast (possibly Johnny Cantor) say that RDZ once scuffed his immaculate white trainer on the leg/foot of their tripod at a post-match interview. Apparently RDZ looked incredibly pissed off at the resulting black mark on the trainer and shot the reporter a look [I'm imagining like the one he gave Harvey Elliot after he knocked the ball away in the FA Cup game last season].

So I doubt we'll be seeing him any intentionally pre-dirtied trainers any time soon.

Regarding the poster earlier in this thread criticising RDZ's style, this article says the opposite (https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...brighton-but-where-can-elite-football-go-next) and claims that sales of his signature attire are up:

"This last bit comes from the clothing retailer Jacamo, which posted an urgent press release in midweek detailing a dramatic rise in sales “inspired by De Zerbi’s suave sideline style”. Black crew-neck jumpers are up 116%, white trainers 55%, black slim-fit stretch jeans 15%! De Zerbi wears a black jumper, white shoes and tight black trousers. He’s like the Strokes, if the Strokes were football managers. Either that or it’s now autumn.


De Zerbi looks good with it too: the insolent charisma, the tender but piercing eyes, good hair, good beard, a look that feels part Renaissance frieze depiction of Beelzebub, part artisan cupcake entrepreneur at an elite urban food quarter."

Exactly, how people can get so excited about plimsoles, I have no idea

*edit* And people buy dirty plimsoles ? There's one (or apparently a few) born every day

People these days spend hundreds of pounds on clobber that I would throw out cos 'they're passed their best'
