      We were middle class and always rocked the champions. I'm still in my minors but work around the neighborhood to afford my own collection of Nike, adidas, jordans,etc. I was still always proud of my champions tho! These days, champion is a hype brand and cool but the shoes are still eh. But I never hate on the champions!

      That's the problem today. Too many kids are used to wearing Jordan's since their infant years, sadly they won't ever grow up understanding how to manage their money and use cheaper alternatives. They are taught that higher priced clothing options are all that matter, not knowing the true meaning of struggle.

      I member when Payless had shoes for cheap but they were called ProWings & XJ900's. They wouldn't last me more than 2 months before they would be blown out and had to be replaced.
      I went to Payless a few years ago and now they're shoes cost almost as much as Footlocker.

"
      Are you Fucking kidding me!!! I took back every return we had and not one show had that on it!

    To my knowledge, Keds has stopped selling men’s shoes due to not having the same success in recent years. An account exec from the company has mentioned of the reconstruction of the basics (ortholite technology) and focusing on the fact of the large female customer base since the brand launched long ago.
    Fun fact: PF Flyers can be found in the movie To Kill a Mockingbird. They are the sneakers Jem and Scout Finch wear.
    My silliest fondest memory of Kangaroos sneakers was seeing a set of flip flops made with the zippered pouch. It’s fun to know they retained their trademark regardless of the style of shoe.

      Yes Pony!!! All day! No offense, but unfortunately this video is being done by a Caucasian.Its not racist by statement "Caucasian," but it is racial in terms of culture.African American set the trend in footwear for at least 4 decades or more.Even this video makes references to many black athletes who wore and were sponsored by many athletic footwear companies.Not only were they endorsed by these companies but these companies were influenced by what the culture in the streets were wearing primarily in the black community here in America. Predominantly and first in the urban community and then into the rural black community with the stamp of approval that it would be popular in the culture of Amerca to everyone and then all over the world.Not all trends were set via Black Americans but many many many were accepted and the streets and the world watched and continue to watch whats good in the hood in terms of fashion and style and how we stylin it.

It seems to me that america just knows nike, jb, adidas and fucking under armour, which is not even considered a real sneaker brand here in europe. You have awesome stuff like new balance and saucony which originated in your country, but guys dont seem to support your not so well known but awesome stuff at all, very sad.

      I gotta say personally there's a few pairs of DC's I'd wear but I think in my opinion, in terms of skate shoes, I'd say Etnies have kinda left DC behind to some extent.
