I really wouldn’t ever call my dad a ‘sneakerhead’, but when I talk with him about the shoes that were hot when he was a kid he’s got all kinds of fun stories around it…my dad and I were recently talking about shoes from when he was a kid and he always spoke of PF Flyers with some level of reverence…so they’ve always kinda been in my life tangentially.
I was watching this Bill Russell documentary ‘Legend’ last night and caught a whole lot of footage featuring Bob Cousy and found out he was actually the first NBA athlete ever endorsed by that same sneaker brand… @pf_flyers
Also, through an interesting turn out of events, found out that his OG players model released TODAY on their website…I’m not much a Celtic fan, but that vintage green and white always gets me…those old ads are something too.
I don’t know what yall think of when you hear ‘classic Americana’ but this is kinda where my head goes…
