Kickers, then when Docs became popular, school changed the uniform policy so we could wear them, so I did!

Jeepers - South African schools had much more draconian uniform restrictions. Docs? With a school uniform? Boots?? Platforms!?

Skande!

Girls schools had plain flat shoes, usually with a strap. Shoe colour was mandated with the uniform.

My high school specified plain brown shoes. The school administration had a fit when guys started wearing brogues.

I had a pair of plain brown docksider style shoes.

Kickers were definitely all the rage when I was a kid but I could never get them as my parents said they were expensive and I’d only grow out of them.

It was crazy playing football in the playground with a tennis ball and wearing pods or kickers 😂

The English should have produced a generation of technical genius’s after that training

My mother made us wear Clark's black lace ups for school 😕 But I did get a pair of red suede Kickers for my 16th birthday 😁 Google tells me that in 1987 they cost between £25 and £35. Today, an almost identical pair in suede are £120 😱 But now I've seen them again, I really want a pair 😍
