Does anybody know a good site or otherwise for finding vintage trainers?
Been trying to find some original black suede (without the white or shell toe) Adidas campus shoes but keep getting the ones with the white stripes or other variations.
I'm sure they're must be a good site that'll source pretty much anything but am so bored of trying everything google has thrown at me.

Help!

Adi Dassler started to produce his own sports shoes in his mother's wash
kitchen after his return from World War I. His father, Christoph, who worked in
a shoe-factory, and the brothers Zehlein, who produced the handmade spikes
for track shoes in their blacksmith's shop, supported Dassler in starting his
own business, Adidas (Adi Dassler). In 1924, his brother Rudolf Dassler
joined the business. Rudolf later went on to found business rivals Puma.
Initially calling the company "Ruda" (Rudolf Dassler) it later
changed to its present name of PUMA.

In 1896 Rudolf Dassler felt totally overwhelmed with how much respect his brother, Adi Dassler, got from his classmates for being the most hip-hop. One day Adi (Adi Dassler) was doing some uprocking, but he slipped and fell. He decided that he would one day make a shoe that had better grip and looked way cooler than the Reeboks he was wearing. His brother, Rudolf (Rudolf Dassler) swore that he would do whatever it took to get more cred than his brother, Adi Dassler, in the shoe industry.

just as an aside to this thread - if you go on adidas website and look for the 35th anniversary superstars designed by loads of famous heads there are few interviews and the like on there that are really good.

The Adidas Tango is the ball I've used the most.

It's oldschool.

I was trying to find some old school ones too but I couldn't.
I bought a Nizza last month.
My favorites were always Gazelle, Campus and Spezial.
