Vesper 30,219 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 How Football Casuals Became Europe’s First Sneakerheads https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/terrace-footwear-sneaker-history/ In Europe, when you use the words “terrace” or “casual,” you tap into a subculture both ubiquitous in its backyard and obscure to outsiders. The terraces were where football fans stood before the introduction of all-seater stadiums, and the casuals were those fans most dedicated to style as they walked into those arenas. So when adidas recently reissued the Trimm Trab sneaker in its OG colorway, the German sportswear giant knew it was reviving a bona fide terrace classic. Released in 1975 as part of a campaign to get lethargic West Germans to exercise more, by the early ’80s the Trimm Trab had become the sneaker of choice for UK football casuals dressed in European designer sportswear by labels such as FILA, Sergio Tacchini, ellesse, Stone Island, and Lacoste (Fred Perry was a local favorite). In fact, it became so associated with the terraces that to this day the word “trabs” is slang for sneakers in Liverpool, one of the UK’s most football-obsessed cities and a major center of casuals style. Early in Nick Love’s 2009 remake of classic 1989 hooligan film The Firm, Bex, leader of West Ham’s Inter City Firm, can be seen trying on a pair of blue Trimm Trabs in a store. Lacing them up, he turns to the film’s protagonist Dom and says, “There is only one trainer.” And while plenty of classic models were also terrace favorites, this short tribute is a testament to the Trimm Trab’s status among football casuals — arguably Europe’s first sneakerheads.

A few years ago, Europe descended into full-blown Stan Smith mania. I remember a trip to Paris in summer 2015 where it felt like every second person was wearing a pair of the iconic tennis sneakers. The Stan Smith was reissued in 2014 after two years off the market. As i-D put it around that time, “Stan Smith is to trainers as Levi’s are to jeans and Kim Kardashian’s Instagram is to selfies: the ultimate expression of the form.” When I bought my first pair in 2007, however, the only people you saw wearing them were those whose tastes hadn’t changed since the ’80s or wannabe casuals such as myself. But with the reissue came Raf Simons applying his own deft touch to the silhouette and suddenly it exploded.

Trimm Star and Master are handsome trainers though. As a 80's casual desert boots were big rather than trainers in 82 the trainer wearing started about 79 it was Dunlop Green Flash before then ! The original The Firm was good because Gary Oldman is such a good actor and had that hint of menace but the remake was terrible ham acting and there is no way certainly at Chelsea did you wear the whole tracksuit especially not that yellow tacchini monstrosity that geezer is wearing Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
