The trabs thread

Millsy

Ideal for a game of badders at Centre Parcs. A strong buy imo

bosstrabs

Millsy thought you would love the Jordan colourway Mills, I wasn’t wrong

Amps

Kumquat They could be worse i suppose:

Kumquat

Amps Yeah, apart from the insole and the hole thing on the sides they just look like a run of the mill Adidas trainer. Very Ed.

The Cream trab isn’t doing it for me, that’s totally a main room trab, people will have been having it in those or those hideous black patent ‘Base’ shoes with the massive buckle on the front while Graeme Park and Allister Whitehead played piano classics, or Todd Terry sulked through a three hour set because he was only getting paid £1million or something.

They should have had a proper Annexe PROGHOUSE trab like the 97 Air Max, silver, or the black-grey fade Air Max 97 (neon green air bubble, to match Ryder & Bleasdale’s Cream Separates CD).

Shoes all the way in those days, a struggle to get in with trainers on.

I was very proud of my Nicholas Deakins at the time.

-si-

A fucking cream coloured (but looks beige) shoe. The designers have really went with the cream theme haven’t they!!!!!!!!

bosstrabs

Mad_Cyril Yes, I remember, Patrick Cox Wannabes were also ubiquitous.

But then things sort of flipped in the clubs, where they decided that the shiny shoe brigade were an easy way to identify those coming in from the pubs and got sniffy about shoes.

I remember lining up at GodsKitchen in the PROGHOUSEUNIFORM ™ of a plain dark t-shirt, Maharishi combats and Nike Air Max and copping a load of shit off four shiney shoed lager louts who got turned away while I sauntered in.

Kumquat Very Ed.

Am a Nike Man good sir, a BOSS Nike man too!

I think those cunts probably deserved irrespective of footwear.

Hope you waved

A walking prog cliche.

Prior to this, I actually went to nightclubs in a shirt, slacks and shoes, I looked like a sixth former going to his first job interview.

bosstrabs

Smallman1 I’ll tell you what else was a walking prog cliche about me.

I was destroying my own deltoids on the dancefloor as Timo dropped Pounds and Penz and Der Schieber

bosstrabs

Amps Yes, a great look that we all went through for about three months I think, before we copped on properly

1997: Curtains, Ben Sherman or Ralphy shirt, dark kecks, Kickers or Pod shoes. Grim doesn’t begin to describe it.

Smallman1

YES DAVE, YES!

Amps

bosstrabs 1995 - 97: Curtains with undercut, M&S / Next shirt (never wore pastel and was broke), dark kecks, shoes, any shoes, just please let me in! Grim doesn’t begin to describe it.

Amended to how I remember it.

Smallman1

Hands up if you haven’t heard Trisco’s Musak in a club?

And then get off this board quick sharp.

bosstrabs

Smallman1 Lawler mix doesn’t count either

Phil-McRackin

Yes, remember buying my first suit specifically so I could get into my local nightclub…the Mersey View. Classy venue with a classy view.

bosstrabs

Phil-McRackin They have had some decent nights at the View down the years. A mate of mine who is a not very famous house producer but who has played Pacha and been Pete Tong’s record of the week was booked there once and we had a boss night. Quite scally though.
