Flashing Training Shoes!!

Flashing Training Shoes...

Did anybody else witness this?? On Tuesday 7th August show at the O2 Arena, I was sitting in block 114 right by the entrance where the purple one appears inside his box. I couldn't keep my eyes off this entrance on the off chance that I would catch a glimpse of him!! Then it happened!! It was when the support act was performing, I looked down and to my amazement he appeared, I couldn't believe it. Did any other orger see this?? Myself and a lady sitting near by looked at each other in amazement, wondering if we had just dreamt it. He didn't stay for long, but just long enough to notice that he was wearing a complete white suit and a matching pair of FLASHING TRAINING SHOES!!! You know like the ones children wear, I found this quite strange!!

Has anybody else seen him wearing these before??

Also if anybody is thinking why I haven't brought this to people's attention before now, its because I am a newbie!! Be Gentle!!

Yeah I was there on the 7th and my wife and I both turned to each other at the same time and mentioned it. It was kinda funny to see this grown man wearing something a child would wear. It wouldn't had noticed much but it got to a dark part of the show. I was thinking he bought them from Clarks !!
Today was Tomorrow and Yesterday was Today...so what time is it now ??

Yeah, he was wearing them quite a bit. It's quite nice to see him in his 'chillin' gear. At one of the aftershows he was wearing a t-shirt. On anyone else this wouldn't be even interesting, but considering his wardrobe, it's pretty mental - at least to me! smile

I'm gonna find a pair of silver glitter platform stilettos with flashing red lights, and wear 'em down to my local disotheque. I can imagine the look I will get from the girls as they huddle around their Smirnoth Ices - priceless lol

I also saw him wearing these on 31/8. From where I was sitting I thought that they were regular trainers with red lights on but it was pointed out to me afterwards by somebody closer that they had high perspex wedge heels. So funny and really only Prince could get away with wearing them and not looking like a knob.

Yeah I noticed these while he was doing the last encore. we were right behind him on the floor, I thought they were very odd. My son wears the same! Although not perspex wedges...
