White ones, though.
In grade school, we still wore P.F. Flyers.
Sophomore year we got the Converse suede low tops in goldenrod with a brown star.
In early college, I went Adidas and never changed. (Well, I quit playing competitive basketball 30 years ago. So, I guess I did change from Adidas to nothing.)
