Freestyle Wrestling PIN - SIU vs Kyushu Kyoritsu

How come the Japanese get all the best ASICS wrestling shoes?!?!

Grapevined!

My favourite amateur wrestling hold. Great vintage ASICS wrestling shoes on both wrestlers, too!

As seen on eBay

As we all know, eBay can be a great place to pick up those hard-to-find or vintage sneakers and sports shoes that we all crave. Here are just a few photos of some of the great pairs I've found and saved over the years:

Very interesting indeed, this completely changes the look of a pair of converse. What do you think of this lacing method?

vintage Puma Boxing Boots

A wonderful addition to my collection, these. Vntage  Puma boxing boots, white leather with no less than 22 laceholes. The word "Gong" is written on the sides, which may be the model name.

Worn-in Converse

These Charcoal Gray chucks have acquired some wear now. It just makes them all the more interesting.
