Agree with all of this, my priorities changed and just ultimately grown out of them. But wasn't this place also heavily not trainers when CT was at its peak?

like others have said converse/vans and other styles have become more popular. a similar thing happened with jeans in the mid 90's when combats/cargoes/maha took off massive time but trainers, like jeans will always have their place.

I think another thing with trainers was the fact that a lot of the heads just older and became less interested (grew out of it?). That's what happened with me, I used to be well into them, was on CT everyday, had around 80 odd pairs at my peak but then it kind of just fizzled out. It didn't help that I had to be more smartly dressed for work and so trainers became something I would wear at the weekend/ evenings and I found I would just be going to the same few pairs each time. People change…
There was also a bit of overkill in that whole arena too, once people started clocking on that it was 'cool' to be into trainers, the collectors/ wearers got trageted hard with average release after average release, all in 'limited editions' and 'exclusive make-ups' and amazing new collaborations- it lost it's exclusivity and excitement.
