colourway

A term, used by trainer fashionistas, to describe a particular colour combination used in the design of an item of footwear. Also used by said cognoscenti to identify those in the know (obsessive seakers of elusive, very limited colourways) from mere mortals (those foolish enough to buy any old mass-produced colourway).

This word can, I reckon, be applied to any article, or item that is available in a variety of colour combinations.

Colourdy

The word ''colourdy'' generally refers to a pleasant scene consisting of many different colours. These colours are bold and vibrant and work well together. To be classified ''colourdy'' something must have at least 5 different colours on it. The most important characteristic about something being colourdy is it must look extremly nice. Many items can be called colourdy. Clothes are the most common example of this. However almost anything can be known as colourdy as long as it follows the discription.

Those Green/White and Black/Orange colorways for the éS Accel's are pretty wacky.
