Walsh 'Tornado London' Men's Retro 80s Made in England running trainers in navy/red. A style that stays true to it's original 1980s silhouette, the Walsh 'Tornado London' features a stylish lightweight upper in soft suede and textile pitched with a cool red leather heel counter for an added Indie edge! The red lace detail also adds a flash of colour. Subtle grey stitch creates definition for the iconic Walsh side chevron and the layered Vibram outsole of white and navy with black grip pays homage to the traditional runner style. Made in England Union Jack branding and gold Walsh signature finish the 'Tornado London' Men's Retro trainers off in style!
Norman Walsh first developed the Tornado trainer in 1983 for athletes competing in marathons across the globe, most notably the 1983 London Marathon. The trainer incorporates an ultra-lightweight upper, grounded to the iconic Vibram outsole with extra EVA cushioning in the midsole to aid comfort during the rigours of long distance running.
FYI - The legend, Joe Strummer of The Clash completed the 1983 London Marathon in 4 hours and 13 minutes! Don't know if he was wearing Walsh trainers though?
