The thread about Silver Shadows got me thinking about my early 80s running wardrobe.
My first shoes were the excellent Silver Shadows. Then my wife bought me a pair of Adidas running shoes (can’t remember the model name but they were yellow, white and black) which set her back circa £80, which was a great deal of money in the early 80s.
My most memorable running vest and shorts was Ron Hill’s, high cut shorts and the bottom half of the vest was string.
For cold weather I had a Steve Ovett running suit.
I don’t bother now just have a pair of Dunlop shorts and a couple of Nike tops I bought in Florida. If it’s cold I put on a cagoule. However, I did splash out on a pair of Nike running tights (£30!!) that make me look like Max Wall.
As you can see I have gone backwards and don’t really bother much with the hi-tech trappings, even my shoes were a £20 pair of Reeboks from Freeport, Fleetwood.
What did you wear when you all took your first running steps? :d
