“Green Flash” trainers were re-released in 2001, with stands of them in fashionable places like Schuh, and Raw. I haven’t seen one pair being worn during or since this feeble attempt at a comeback. Even the lure of retro couldn’t shake off the fact that they were still pretty affordable.

Grey Flash trainers were for those whose parents considered the Green Flash to be an unnecessary extravagence in a world of tennis shoes gone mad. So unpopular they went full circle into having an unheard-of sense of specialness about them. Cheaper, crapper, greyer.

Amber Flash was the bargain basement of the range. The only plausible reason for their existence was to make Green Flash a more attractive prospect. The flash wasn’t even amber, more of a light diarrhoea yellow/brown. Which needs no further comment.
