We'll agree to disagree on this one

They're definitely not one of the better-looking offerings from Nike.

We all got different tastes, but again like I said, the 110 isn't a chav originated trend. I've been to various parts in the world, during various time periods, and I've seen them everywhere, and none of it has to do with chav

I'm only talking about the UK here.
110s are often seen in every city here paired with trackies and hoodies... ciggies and spitting

Also nowt to do with Chelsea.
Chelsea is a posh area of London.
110s are very popular amongst everyday yoof.
Nowt wrong with that. Each to their own. But if Nike wanna do a trainer for LFC, it'd be nicer if we have somat slicker like that Air Jordan profile above.

Also "110" is a UK thing. When they was released here in the 90s they cost 110 pound sterling! Hence the nickname. I think round the world they're known by their proper name, i.e. Air Max 95s.

I know that trainers and clothes are often 'adopted' by different people across the world in different ways. Maybe 110s here in the UK are a bit chavvy, but in Eastern Europe they may be de riguer for Goths... dunno. But I know that often happens.
Another example is the brand "Champion".
That's always been a run of the mill college brand in the USA, right? Well, around 1990 Champion was a top brand for ravers in the UK.
It then died a bit, as did rave culture... for various reasons. But know I see it back on the High St and on kids... but not as part of rave culture per se.
Fashion is a curious thing

The Chelsea thing is an autocorrect by the forum when you make chav plural

The ''110's'' aren't my favorite either [I prefer the AirMax 90's] and in my circumstances, and places I've lived in or visited, it's massively influenced by hip-hop. During the 90's whilst in turmoil post war in the Balkans, they represented something vastly different than what you've come across on your end. People didn't have much to eat, let alone wear expensive brands, but if you had a pair, you were viewed differently in that era, and it's stayed popular since then. So I've seen them being an influence for different reasons globally.

The Champion brand is back in the US as well for different reasons, but in my experience the AirMax have never gone away wherever I've been.

Thanks for sharing. Always nice to learn something new.

My faves are Air Max BW - Persian

In the UK you can pick up knock-off 110s for 20 quid down the market. Pretty good copies too. Bet the 'air' in the sole is shite though!

I always wonder if the club missed a trick in the 13/14 season..
Could've paired the Third kit with the Persians..

Yep. New Balance Oxford Street told me the same. They didn't want to confirm the colour though.

I don't really understand the relevance of a black commemorative kit. I got the black out kits, they worked, but this black commemorative kit is just strange.

"Here's a kit that Liverpool have never worn to celebrate winning the 6th european cup, you can't have this season's home goalie kit though that's gone."

The hoodies and that are sound, as is the replica home kit with the six stars, but the black and gold "home" shirt is a bit weird to me.

It's just a pretty popular colour, plus is different to the colour of the 3 current shirts, so is basically like releasing a 4th kit colourway.

It has novelty value, plus they probably saw how people were falling over each other to throw money at the black goalkeeper top too. This new black top will sell like hot cakes. People were already salivating over the leaked pictures. Black is also one of those colours people who don't normally buy replica tops might buy because it can look good with jeans and trainers, so it can be seen as sports leisure wear and not just kit.

I think they've been quite clever in doing it in black.

Statto Red · « **Reply #15378 on:** November 25, 2019, 07:57:57 pm »

£70[£85 for the 6, Champions Of Europe printing] is a bit pricey for something that is a novelty value & not going to be worn in matches, £30-£40 would be farer pricing, be better off trying to improve production & distribution of the goalkeeper kit, would be better if they did it in the purple combo we had last season.

The pricing is ridiculous of course, but they'll still sell by the shed load. I won't be bothering simply due to the silly cost, but many others will throw their money at it.

I've already bought two black LFC jerseys this season. The struggle is real.
Going to go for the jacket instead. No sponsor on it so it looks lush.

In fairness to NB these are probably the best LFC trainers they've released. Not amazing, but good enough to probably not end up all in a sales rack. It's a shame they didn't capitalise on Klopp wearing the red NB 990v3 in the CL Final as I think they've have done very well.

Koparoo · « **Reply #15383 on:** November 26, 2019, 01:51:53 pm »

FYI - Interesting summary of the New Balance v LFC findings from an external legal perspective... https://www.lawinsport.com/topics/item/what-it-takes-to-sponsor-liverpool-football-club-why-new-balance-failed-to-match-nike-s-offer... (and confirms the precise terms of the Nike deal).

Sounds like we only just fell over the line - solely due to NB not nominating their comparable three sporting/cultural influencers... hence why we only got awarded 20% of our £555,000 incurred costs... (Hope they now sell a shitload of Nike merchandise so that we recoup it and more)

Cheers mate, had a look but I'm weary of fakes and would rather buy from the club / another retailer if poss. Plus there's only a couple on there and no green (from what I can see). You'd think the club would have loads given the time of year and ability to make more $$$$ ??

The supply issue is on New Balance rather than the club, probably a big part of why we are leaving them although it wasn’t something directly challenged in court.

They had the black top in the club shop in Williamson Sq. last Friday. This is only good for you if you are local though.

I was surprised to see them because they have been as rare as hen's teeth due to selling out and it taking an age to restock.

4pool · « **Reply #15390 on:** November 27, 2019, 06:24:43 pm »

If you live near any club shop...ring them up and ask for what you want. If they don't have it in stock they can check other club shops for availability. If they find what you want, they will ship it to the store for you ( free I believe) to come pick up.

NB just trying to milk as much out of us as they can now. Don't see the point of that black home kit European cup 6 times special edition. The black doesn't represent liverpool, we didn't play in that kit last year so whats the point. At least reebok gave us a special kit to use in the champions league that was red. And the gold was a nice touch for the champions

Agree thought the kit looked alright but if i remember correctly the material caused alot of static cling.

my point though was that the champions league special kit actually made sense comparing to this all black one that was just released. And that season we kept the same home shirt for the league as the previous season so it didn't feel like they were trying to milk us for every penny

The point is people will buy it, that's the point of all replica kits. NB will make what people want and this is a fashion item intended to make them some money - it's why companies pay clubs pay loads to make the kits.

A purple,orange,etc.. shirt doesn't represent Liverpool either but if they're good looking kits people will buy them, making the same color away kits year in and year out, is not going to happen so nine time out of ten the colors won't ''represent' Liverpool. I love the orange kit from two season ago, has no connection to what Liverpool colors should be but I still love the kit.

The black kit looks great.
