So, I stumbled upon these shoes while searching for my “Holy Grail” Canvas Adidas Blacktops from 1995 (that’s an entirely different story).
Back in ‘96 I owned a pair of these shoes. Why were they so spiky on the bottom? I never knew. But the lead singer of Prodigy had a pair in black as well, and he copped them after I had mine, which made me feel extra awesome back in the day.
Sadly, an ex went on a closet rampage about 10 years ago and demanded that I toss out 3 pairs of old shoes to “Make room”. I did not collect sneakers back then and had not worn these wierd-ass shoes for maybe 7 years. I felt a little funny leaving them at the thrift store. I recall looking out the rear-view mirror at them, knowing I did the wrong thing giving them up.
Now the suckers go for 215.00 used on ebay - even for a size 12! I can onlyhope they get re-issued.
