dunlop trainers
The white ones with the green bits. A sure sign of poverty.

"Green Flash" trainers were re-released in 2001, with stands of them in fashionable places like Schuh, and Raw. I haven't seen one pair being worn during or since this feeble attempt at a comeback. Even the lure of retro couldn't shake off the fact that they were still pretty affordable.

Grey Flash trainers were for those whose parents considered the Green Flash to be an unnecessary extravagence in a world of tennis shoes gone mad. So unpopular they went full circle into having an unheard-of sense of specialness about them. Cheaper, crapper, greyer.

Amber Flash was the bargain basement of the range. The only plausible reason for their existence was to make Green Flash a more attractive prospect. The flash wasn't even amber, more of a light diarrhoea yellow/brown. Which needs no further comment.

On turning 25 my first purchase was a pair of the ultimate "Dad" trainers- Hi Tec Silver Shadows in a vain attempt to be ironically hip.
I would advise against such an ill conceived move should anyone be considering it. Received endless abuse from all who saw them.

Nobody ever believes me about this, but I swear to god I had a pair of trainers from another coloured "Flash" range. Improbably, they were "Brown Flash".
Quite which marketing genius came up with that I've no idea. But I sincerely hope they've changed careers since.
Actually, knowing my mum she's probably still got them stored away somewhere. I shall try and get a photo.

I bought a pair of Green Flash last year for kitsch value.
