this could be great! anyone got the old-school military issue Tretorn canvas tennis shoes? I've had a few pairs over the years but they all wore through really quickly and since Jungle in covent garden closed I haven't seen them.

Just to derail this thread before it's even off the first psge...

these are leather actually, but it's the same idea:o

woah - those look like they were dipped in indigo...

That is always a distinct possibility when Bill is posting. :D

Here are my dead stock Converse Skidgrip CVOs about two months ago. I was only wearing the right one b/c of an ankle injury.

I will try to take some up-to-date comparison shots before I start wearing the left one too :)

Incidentally, shoeboxes used to be way better. This well-designed size conversion chart is a pretty cool "feature" to add to an otherwise disposable cardboard box.

^^ beauts mitch! another call out for Tretorn military issue plimsoles anyone?- the ones I had also always came in lovely boxes with a repeat print of tennis rackets on them, size converter on the bottom like these. The shoes themselves had the Swedish army 3 crowns stamped on the ankle. I think they were only £10 a pair- I should've bought the lot! At least I should've taken photos...

HH, a quick question about the vintage Chucks. Do they have the re-inforcement piece sewn in the heal or not?

do they? looks like it could be this...
