    Yep, by 1987 the white sneakers were getting kicked to the curb and the color explosion begain, remember the Converse Neehi's? These flat sole shoes always made my back hurt with a long day of wearing.

    And then like asphalt on knees, the Reebok Pumps hit, from 1990. The Wikipedia Entry doesn't say a ton but they also made ice skates with the same technology.

    I've noticed a book on athletic shoes has just been put out with some media attention, maybe they were reading this thread?
    Airwalk 1996, the low-top is back!

    Sorry can't read the ad but these are pretty advanced for 1972! These would look good today.

    Reebok from 1987, oddly I think these were spaced out on different parts of the magazine!

    Converse and some hall of famers from 1987 and they still couldn't compete with Air Jordans.
