@@petejones8312 yes sir! The BK dymacel was the bomb. I remember getting a pair from Doncaster market. The guy would also sell la gear, spx, pony and Aviva. All those late 80s n early 90s classics. 👍
My husband and I both wore BRITISH KNIGHTS..we loved them ..I am looking for a pair as he has passed on ..maybe I need to feel we are still together . We wore acid jeans and rocked in our BRITISH KNIGHTS..thanks for posting definitely need a come back ..size 11 ladies
What a great memory, thank you for sharing. They still make British Knights although the quality isn’t quite the same but they do have a few options in your size
Great vid as always Tre, these and the Ultimate Hi with the funky swirl print are classics! Would really like to see them bring back the Dymacel stuff though -my fave BKs were little known mids called the "Contender" they came in red, green, purple or blue suede and had a visible Dymacel air unit, really dope!
I had a bunch of these had the white black neon and the white black red I think i also had one pair in white black and blue as well found full size runs in a local flea market about 13 years ago. Wound up shipping all of them to a few collectors in France
@@Defynewyork I just checked a site called shoebaca.com and they got that pair and many others instock, like the quilts and control mids with what look like a good reproduction of dymacel in the sole
I got a pair for my 13 birthday in89 mom paid $115 for em and man my mom was like they better not come home dirty tore up from school shoot I took care of them shoes $115 was alot for some shoes for my parents in 80s yeah ppl was rockin em even hear in South Carolina
They weren't budget lol at least not for me. Paid $80 for my first and only pair in 89/90. I remember cause my first pair of good shoes were Adidas I paid $65 for and the BK's were more... had to work to save for both. I was like 13 .... Great times lol
Nice. BKs were THE THING in the late 80s. I saved up to get a pair.I was so proud of myself when I laid that money down on the counter at Foot Locker lol Rocked them joints faithfully too..with my plaid dresses 🤣 Gen X stand up!
Bk`s were the baddest shoe in L.A. all breakers either had a knight or Adidas because Nike's and chucks were ded tied to gangsters and wannabes. The bk brand was actually not a budget shoe where I was from probably because of demand but bootleg copies of their shoes completely destroyed the market no one wanted a bk after about 93 because they were mostly all FAKE and they started selling them at the payless and no one liked a shoe from the payless.
I never wore BK's, although this was a really nice model. BK's, were usually for broke ass, ghetto kids. In The Bronx, we copped kicks, at Jewman's. 1988/1989, we were rocking TROOP, Nike Air, Fila, Diadora, Avia, Ellesse, Adidas Metro Attitude, and Lotto. BK's, were below the totem pole. BK's, and L.A. Gear, were 2 brands, that never made noise, in NYC.
What about broke ass ghetto kids buying BK's otherwise expensive like Nike or Adidas just like all of them they're shoes hell I'll take them over Nikes and Adidas anytime
All the retros that they've been making that are on British Knights website right now is a disgrace this whole shape of the shoe of every model that they have on there is completely off
MIKE DEEZ 100 percent agree. The re issues from 2008 were the best but even those had their flaws. The individuals that own the license now put to much money into dymacel and not enough on the better models
That wasn’t just a NY thing. The whole country were rocking BK
I'm from Britain , we were rocking them here too buddy.

Right! these were sold at foot locker errbody was rocking these whn I was in skool
They were huge in the UK. I had so many different styles of BK knights back in the day. Loved them
The dymacel was the best from BK'S in my opinion. Loved that shoe.

I was A Brooklyn kid rockin BK joints all day!!
i had this in 89-90 and i also used to ride a huffy sigma they where both bad ass
I wouldn't wear anything else back in the day, but mine always had the double laces. I grew up in haskell Oklahoma.

i think they were budget shoes, but they were honestly cooler than alot of the top brands. they still look dope!! i'd rock them today
They still have em for sale on ebay. Im def getting a pair. Nostalgia
@@jetta.silence6356 thats awesome!!
I just ordered me a pair earlier today
The in your face gaudy branding formed right into the flow of the shoes made them look awesome, other brands couldn’t pull that off
I herd people in the late 80s n 90s were getting shot in LA just cause of the BK logo
There's some dope models that came later featuring their dymacel cushion system which was cool. There was that ratchet straps one
Yea but that was when BK had some great looking Dymacel models but that was when they were on the decline.

@@nick.maldonado Those go for $20, here in NYC, on that clearance rack
Heck yeah I had a pair in the '80s I love them I hope they come back
Besides the Ewings, Nike Air Flights, I use to rock BK's. They look so dope!!
K swiss,New Balance, Spot Bilt, Reebok,
Always wanted a pair, but had to settle for the checkerboard Vans.

Everybody was rocking BK's in Philly too.
I remember bloods used to beat up folk that wear BKs
@Cheryl bk (blood killer) it was worn by Crips because of the initials
80s diadora... ellese .. fila..BK.. nike cortez...reebok..jordans
I never saw BK's, like that, in NYC. They really tried pushing these, but nah. Lotto, Spot-Bilt, Ellesse, Nike Air, etc
Hella people were definitely rocking BK's in DA BAY AREA!
Are these shoes comfortable to wear?
Im trying to find the black leather 👢 boots for men had fur at top n gold buckles all over i can't seem to even find a picture can anybody help?
Virgil took that design and put it on LV 😂

Blood Killers
