Converse All Star - vintage Chucks

Recently acquired, these vintage USA-made Converse Chuck Taylors in wonderful light blue. Chucks the way they should be!








Converse All Star "Special"

Newly acquired, these beefed up Chucks in superb olive feature a double-thickness toe cap and metal loops at the top of each boot. Nice.

Nike Blazer 77 in white leather

Just purchased these awesome sneakers. More soon!

Adidas "Wrestling" shoes, reissued a few years back. These came out, I think, as a shoe for "general" wear based upon a genuine wrestling shoe, but some wrestlers did use them for their original purpose.
