    The shoes were as important as the brand of cassette player you had! "KICKS" is American Slang for athletic shoes.

    Interesting, I wonder if Sony or the others had any co-branding

    These are my favorites, right before Nike took over the world Puma dominated with the Clyde Shoe, this is from 1977.

    I'm going to throw in Sorels from 1987, as a first-wave snowboarder, Sorels were the recommended boot for the new "bindings" Burton Snowboards was using. I used to sell Burton and Sims Snowboards before anybody was stocking them, still have my Elite 150, just checked the value, wholly silly money......
