  1) Reebok high tops with the tongue hanging out, and tight cuff jeans behind the tongue. (Any one want to start at Fav 80's Jeans Thread?? Don't make me bring up my tight Levis with comb sticking out of my back pocket to comb my Leif Garrett feathered hair style)

  2) Checkered Vans

  3) Valleys (think Don Johnson)

  4) My first cool pair of sneakers - like 1980 when Kangaroos came out, they were like the first shoes with velcro tightening(no laces). Also had a zipper pocket on the side to hide money or something. Shoes can make you feel special when you're a kid.

  5) Plain Converse

  The two Bethelites on the cover of the Watchtower in one of the Watchtower cover parody threads got married after the guy proposed by taking the engagement ring out of the pocket in his Kangaroo shoe.

  Plain Converse Gal here. Still wear them. But the knee Highs. (Must be white, Red or Black) My kids wear them too. Funny how that works. That and the Vans. I wore the Black Skater Vans and my son did too. Now my daughter is wearing the cholo shoes. (checkered and colored ones.)

  Silly really.

  wow, very cool. I've never seen knee high Converse before.
  I love the Nike hitops from the 80's- The ones Marty wore in "Back To The Future" would have been really sweet!

  the 80s is when I found out about earth shoes - with the heel lower than the toe, and I remember some kind of sandals that everyone bought that had bumps on the sole inside to press on acupressure points. Can't remember what they were called. I hung out with a wierd bunch of people.
