contrary to popular belief, thieving scousers didn't invent sport shoes...
they were an everyday part of American day to day wear by the late 60s. On Ivy campuses too, so we're not really straying of topic TOOO much...

Definitely. I don't wear trainers much nowadays, but I think they pretty much perfected the things way way back. Almost everything post say, 1970-odd has been unnecessary tinkering and variations on a theme really.

Ever seen The Monkees' Head? I've always thought Mickey Dolenz had a good shell toes and Levis look going on there. Look at the opening scene here, where he jumps off the bridge.
Good soundtrack too.

The Monkees are a guilty pleasure of mine, as are the Mamas and Papas
