OK OK, I'm going to be brutally honest. These shoes were made for men the wrong side of 35 who aren't comfortable with wearing smart clothes and doing business. But they have to. So what they do is console themselves by dressing down their pinstripe slacks and v-neck tops with Converse All Stars and trainers. I don't like trainers, but I like these because they've got Space Invaders on them.
Space Invaders are cool because they are geeky, retro and connect us back to those days of massive arcades and feeling breathless and giddy with the white heat of technology the first time you saw Battlezone. Then thirty years later you buy these shoes and wear them with a suit to 'stick it to the man' and wave your geek flag.
These trainers say 'I was born in the 1970's and despite the beer gut and bald patch, I'm still radical baby'. Now get the bong out and stick some Led Zep on... who fancies a game of Galaxians on a coffee table...
