Want to thank everyone for the warm welcome and such fast replies! It almost makes me want to hunt down more exclusive and rare trainers, oh dear I can see this becomming an addiction 
That's some pretty good news so far. Do you think the ones I saw on eBay going for £25 could have in fact been real then seeing as they may be going for $40 in the US?
I'll definately keep my eyes open for trusted sellers but there's nothing like buying a new pair of trainers from a store, getting them in their new box and smelling that smell, so if I can get brand new ones that one I'd be so chuffed.
As for my size, I was going to ask some advice on how adidas trainers fit. I've never owned a pair myself although at the moment I'm using a pair of my sister's old running style adidas at the gym. They say Uk size 5.5, US size 6 and strangely Japanese size 245! They come up slightly short though.
I vary between 5.5 all the way to 7 with shoes but 6 is my most comfortable. As with most trainers though, the smaller you can get them the better I think they look so do superstars come up short, long, narrow, wide.. or are they about average?
Thanks again for your help, it's very encouraging. I enjoy buying trainers more than anything else!

Ahh, I checked out Journeys Shoes and that is in fact the only site I could find linked with those trainers. I arrived there after finding a picture of the trainers on image search.
They don't appear to be on the site at the moment, although there does seem to be a black and white version for the guys.
Are they something that come on for a season and then are swapped for something else? Is perhaps eBay my best shot.
