No style code and no colourway here. Both come from the retailer listings on the calendar ahead, and this shoe has nothing on it, so the rows are absent rather than guessed at.


What we have written

Every piece, with the place each claim came from underneath it. Where we could not reach a source we say so instead of quietly leaving it out.

That it was built for basketball, and that it has been in continuous production since 1968
Not verified. Wikipedia calls it an alternative to the PUMA Basket, does not call it a basketball shoe, and says nothing about continuous production
