Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4659428, member: 71"] I still remember back then. Had a paper route from when I was nine, at that time depending on the season would shovel snow, take leaves, cut grass for some cash because it was either wear what the parents were willing to but or spend your own money if you wanted something better. Keds were ~$8.00 Pro Keds (black high top with the big white patch) were ~$10.00 and Converse All Stars were ~$12.00 (this was 1970 so...). A couple years later (the first time I heard of them was 1972 or 1973) Puma Clyde's hit the market and they were ~$28.00 a pair. When I first saw an ad for them I thought it was insane to pay more than double what Cons cost. My older brother bought a pair and I was never more jealous in my life. [/QUOTE]
