I've tried to understand this post. But I've given up. I think I get the gist.

Here they are in his era they look poor ..... he was a maestro World Class box to box midfielder -
Alan heard a rumour that the boot manufacturer Hummel, were looking for a professional to wear their white boots and were prepared to pay £2,000. He took them up on the deal, only to be disappointed, he said
“To be honest lads they were crap, like cardboard, so I got the young apprentices to paint my Adidas football boots white. It was great, till one day it rained and the black came through. A not too happy watching Hummel rep saw what I’d done, so I said goodbye to the two grand.”
Their merchandise from this era is now very collectable, and goes for a very good expensive price..... as they did go bust obviously now a big brand game once again -

I nearly bought a pair of Hummel trainers recently, same style as these, but grey and white, £65 from Schuh. They are not going to be mainstream by any stretch, more for the retro, hipster brigade

I think they look boss. I’m tempted to buy a pair.
It’s a shame that a lot of our fan base would snub them though because Hummel isn’t trendy enough. Don’t get me wrong like, I mean I do get it, but that brand issue thing with sports wear just doesn’t exist in south east asia and probably in other parts of the world too? I see people all the time wearing New Balance trainers, and at first I sniggered, but now I realise there’s no difference. They are all made in the same sweat shops.
A few years ago I was trying to explain to my wife (who’s not from England) about how there are certain brands that you just can’t wear in the U.K. like Hummel, New Balance etc. And she was like “why?” and I honestly couldn’t give her a good reason, I was like: “you just can’t wear them, you know, people just don’t, I mean why would you, I mean it’d look silly wouldn’t it?”. Haha.
Time to start thinking more global lads! Everton needs to grow beyond L4! Let’s get a special Colombian range out there too!

I wonder if the stripes will fall off when you clean them.

I would get a pair with the link to Bally as I seen him play - I used that make when of football boots when I was 17 years old playing competitive youth football - they were ok, but as for trainers now at the age of 65 years old - not for me - but the kids plus younger generation - I think they will sell well among EFC fans tbh........
I could see @COYBL25 on his early run strutting along in his pomp in them tbh

No offense to Alan but I think those are nice shoes that I'd maybe get without the Ball decorations which are a bit Kopite

I wish I had a man cave . I have a man cupboard that I use to game , Tommy tank and have to use as a fart exile spot .
The Kopites hated him mate, he scored so many times v that lot - The Alan Ball thing is the big deal imo .........for any aged Blues fans ........if we had boy - Girl grandkids they would be getting a pair .........

Nah I mean wearing shoes themed after the club is a bit kopite. Not Alan Ball.
Not for me, but then if we all liked the same things we would all be North Face ninjas.
Fair play to the club and Hummel, I'm sure they will sell and its a great idea.

11 UK is too small. Not even sure I'd wear them, but if I were to spend a bit of dough, I'd at least want that option.
It's a great idea even if it's a very niche market.

Big mouths lol joking many girls have been let down with that myth , but European shoe sizes I tend to go a size bigger as they are small imo size 10 for instance I would get size 11.....
