Well, based on personal observation I'd say more Asians wear flip-flops than Westerners... it has something to do with the climate.

Not true in the Philippines.

I don't mean in No. of Asian vs. No. of Westerners in specific country, just generally speaking...

As you only mentioned the UK I'd say you were pretty specific.

White 'trainers' as we say in the UK come in to fashion every few years as I recall.

I haven't been there for 5 or so years but ' it's like that.... and that's the way it....UHH!!

EXACTLY!!! It's like that and that's the way it is! ...but not quite. The white sneaker coolness was brought by hip hop's Run DMC but a bit earlier than jason nevin's revision.

just googled jason nivens, i never knew about it. i just remember a housey type mix floating about

Just have a peek at songs like "walk this way" which was a collaboration between them and Aerosmith. RUN DMC is the white sneaker master, everything else is plain copying or reinventing the wheel

Same same.

I currently have 2 pairs of trainers...

White Reebok Classics ( The British Pub Essential )

And a snazzy looking pair of white, Nike Air Max.

White trainers = a thing of beauty... :D

Danny, you rock. :D

By the way, are you a long lost twin of BACKSEARCHING4U? (See your and his display pic)

Fools! all of ya!

This phenomenon IS in fact a secret government funded program

working with the British Olympic organization, alongside the sports body to train the youth into becoming world beating athletes ready for the 2012 London games,

When the time comes the British team will shock the world by winning

ALL but a handfull of the medals in all events.

Please keep this to yourselves, else I should be transported.

Little does he know; even now the forces of the UK dark side MI6 AND 7 are closing in... Muhaha.... (<= evil laughter)....

Booming Voice: "Welcome to Botany Bay!"

...no...not the Men in White Coats....AND Sneakers!!!!!!! Arghhhhhh!
