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.
Very cool on the vans thing..!! They took a lot longer to catch on the east coast here, more like you WERE an outcast if you had a pair late 70’s early 80’s…Swingn’
