Nike Greco Supremes
Although not generally a fan of Nike wrestling shoes, I certainly found these vintage wrestlers very eye-catching!

...my new white Feiyue hitops. Not sure they quite retain the great looks and proportions of their lowtop counterparts but, without doubt, these are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.
More Feiyue news soon!

New Sneaks: Adidas Adi Tennis
First shots of my new Adidas Adi Tennis. Great retro style shoes, a great combination of newer materials and classic "plimsoll" styling!

Oki-Kutsu Crocketts
My ongoing passion for the white plimsoll has found a new focus, the Oki-Kutsu Crockett - an awfully complicated name for a beautifully simple shoe. Love those well-proportioned toecaps - not too big, not too small. I don't know how I've not noticed these fine shoes before!
These shoes can be bought (in many colourways) at Office at this link

PF Flyers Sportshu - reissued
These have got to be one of the hottest re-issues of the year - halfway between a Converse All Star and a vintage Bata or Converse canvas wrestling shoe. I am seriously coveting a pair of these.
PF Flyers have done a bang-up job on their website with these beauties. Check this out: http://www.pfflyers.com/archival-reissue/sportshu-mod.html

Asics Wrestling '81. Or at least they were when I bought them! These shoes (though not in this colorway) are presently being marketed as Asics Dan Gables.

Wrestling Shoe Round-Up
A bunch of my Adidas Pretereo wrestling shoes. Great wrestlers these. I often wrestle in the blacks - the rest are for my collection.
Xhi Optical White Chucks - photo session
Haven't had these boys on for a while. Interesting sneakers. But I think you've gotta go a long way to improve on the traditional 8-hole "classic" hi-top.
