You're wrong. They are just for 16-21 year olds. Anyone over that age should be wise enough not to buy white shoes of any type.
Can't see the appeal myself.

I usually like adidas trainers but I’m not a fan of those. The Villa badge on them makes them look like they’re aimed at kids.

White trainers, like white tee-shirts, always make me think of no-frills supermarket stuff.

Claret with blue trim would have had me salivating.

I love Adidas trainers, but those are a bit too garish for me.  I don't really need the badge or 'Villans' either. I prefer the more subtle standard Adidas Gazelle trainers, claret with blue stripes or blue with claret stripes.  But they're not released very often, unfortunately.

But I do think it's great that Adidas are bringing out more bespoke stuff for us.  I was looking forward to the third kit with Trefoil badge, but the leaks so far look disappointing.
