SE bikes...

I went to Junior high in Southern California for a couple years when I lived with my dad and if you didn't have a pair of checkered Vans you were an outcast...
My 21 year old son still rocks blue and white checkered slip-ons.....Van Doren's kid (Vans) went to high school with my older sister. Whole basketball team had Vans. They used to be $21 bucks here (1977ish?) ) AND you could order the 2 colors in any combo...3 colors was $5 more.
