Adidas Kick Trainers Hi , Firstly these were actually out in the early 70's! I wore these for years without anything happening with the soles (I think your getting these mixed up with inferior shoes in the 80's which started to become plastic. re thr rubber stripe peeling away at the front???? There was no rubber stripe on these.. the front had a velvet layer on it and it was this taht was always te first to go... but I have to say the that this was after a LOT of football and running app 9-10 mths for each pair. P.S. They are now available again for a limited time...check Ebay..
Thanks David
