1980s Puma Fast Rider running shoe returns as everyday trainer

Fast1

It's not quite the track shoe of days gone by, but the Puma Fast Rider still packs the look in its latest reissue.

First seen in the 1980s as a running shoe with a spike sole, it now has a multi pimpled outsole for extra shock absorption, which means it's still a useful bit of footwear for running and training.

Of course, it now has that retro appeal too, with a suede and nylon mix upper, a sweeping leather Puma formstripe and Fast Rider branding on the side. The colourway above is described as navy/dandelion and if that's a bity bold, see over the page for the navy/silver mix. Both variations are priced at £49.99.

Adidas reissues women’s 1980s Julrunner trainers

Juhl

We don't feature a lot of women's trainers, but that's for good reason – there are very few classic reissues for women from the main brands. But here's an obscure addition that has just sneaked out by Adidas – the Julrunner trainers.

I think you might have guessed that this is a running shoe, specifically a French running shoe that first saw the light of day back in the 1980s. This reissue is faithful to that original, mixing nylon with suede detailing, throwing in reflective 3-Stripes and a heel patch to finish things off.

Two original colourways to choose from, £75 is the price tag.
