But where is the elusive Mamba?


Almost totally exhaustive adidas trainer list, but alas no Mamba - which I had as a boy. I remember receiving them with almost disbelief that I had got such a gift from my mother. There was a pair of football boots received around the same time - Monacos? Which gave me near school of excellence skills - near, but not quite enough.......

Disheveled elegance
