<blockquote> You wouldn't think a little polyvinyl window in the side of a shoe would have had such an insane effect on people, but it did. I remember that at the time at my school, it was really all about Reeboks (people were rocking some Nikes, Spotbilts, Lottos, New Balance, Travel Fox, etc. too, but really all about Reeboks): the ball shoes for dudes and 54.11's for girls, then myself and a couple other kids copped the maxes (and I think the walking shoe and the Revolution came out around the same time) and it was chaos. Totally changed the game man. Totally.  </blockquote><br />At that time out here it was Ellesse, New Balance (the Worthy's), Converse (the Magic Johnson/Larry Birds in particular) and Avia.  <br /><br />When the air bubble started showing up kids would take the compass (the thing with the sharp needle and the pencil that you used to make circles) and stab the bubble on someones shoes so it made a noise when they walked.  Lots of letters and phone calls home from teachers.
