Just confirm this for me to give me the everlasting highground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The companies are around prior to the trend starting in their focused market and will continue to be around in their focused market after the trend goes away. Asics and NB quite the same. When I worked as a lifeguard I ended up getting a pair of Hi-Tec Silver shadow trainers for poolside. Genuinely the most comfortable pair of trainers I've ever owned. Looked fucking terrible but comfy as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best about for gym work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Will Follow Rangers 12,917 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 In no way are New balance a snide brand like gola or hi tec, thats just shite. they seem to have gone a bit cheap and nasty now right enough but I remember them as perfectly respectable. Asics make quality running shoes my mrs wears them to the gym and they're £130 plus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he owns anything it's less than 0.5% and the UK Puma subsidiary is wholly-owned by the German group parent. So he did have shares. ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's nothing anywhere that backs up the claim that he has shares and none of his companies list an interest in Puma. He's certainly not a shareholder of any influence if he does have any squirrelled away though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
