In short: both. In less short: well done for choosing between the two must-have trainers of 2013 (ie, re-releases of 1980s and 1990s classics). Despite the slogan ‘endorsed by no one’, New Balance is now worn by everyone, so trawl aficionado websites such as Oki-ni or Endclothing to dig out rarer pairs. I like the pithily named M620GW (£89). My all-time favourite Nikes are the Air Max 1 in red and white (£95, pictured top), which look as cool now as they did in 1987. For a one-off, customise your own via NIKEiD (store.nike.com) for £120, delivered within four weeks. Live life to the Max.
