OUGD505 - Study Task 1 - Trainers: Primary Research - Trainers

As part of the research in this topic, I did some primary research by looking at the pairs of trainers I have at home.

Brands
The first thing I did was look at them individually.

Nike Premium High Dunks

 Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars

 Vans Authentic

 Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars

 Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars

 Vans Lo Pro

  Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars

 Next sneakers

 Vans Authentic

 Vans Old Skool

 Vans Mid Skool

 Vans Sk8-Hi

 Vans 106 Hi

 Topshop Hi-Tops

 Nike Blazer Mid

 Dune Hi-Tops

I then categorised them in their brands.

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star

Nike

Vans Off The Wall

 

Other

Colours
I then looked at the pairs that are the same and looked at the different colours these can come in.

Vans Authentic

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star

Comparing
I then compared an original pair of converse with a pair made on the high street as a cheaper alternative.

Overall they look very similar but there were a few changes the cheaper pair had from the original. The toe-cap is larger on the cheaper version, as are the laces. The pattern along the front of the sole is slightly different as well, and the shape of the shoe in general is slightly different.

Types

The last thing I did was categorise them into the type of sneaker that they are.

Low-Tops

Mid-Tops

 High-Tops
