Everyone was wearing Kickers shoes in the early 80s. Not
only trendy young things but also their geography teachers.
These chunky, colourful shoes from Belgium caused chaos in shoe
shops in 1980. The manufacturers just couldn't make them quickly
enough.
They came with a little flower-shaped leather logo attached
to the laces. Daring kids tried on the shoes without buying
them, and managed to 'remove' the leather flower.
The more of the logos you had on
your shoes, the cooler you looked - or so everyone thought!
