NY Has Timbs, LA Has Chucks, What Does Your City Have?

I fucked with Etonics and Roos as a kid, durable shoes that don’t get the credit they deserve.

In Germany around 1991 there was a phase where LA Gear was real popular on base. The ones with the 3 laces. Don’t know if they were popular stateside though.

Etonics never got off the ground except for briefly when they dropped these:

Those Akeem's was cold back then. Oddly, I never fucked with their basketball joints; I kept some Adidas for that. Eventually I dropped Etonic all together and started running in Reebok and then Avia.

There was a point when LA Gears were more popular with white folks here Stateside. I almost wanna say there was one that got in the hood a bit, but I can't quite place it.
