British Knights or L.A. Gear?

You know you had a pair! I had the KMart version of L.A. Gear. I was poor!

But I still wanted a pair of LA Gear so badly!

So... LA Gear?[img:$uid]http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p179/mpls319/la.jpg[/img:$uid]

Or BK's? [img:$uid]http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p179/mpls319/brit.jpg[/img:$uid]

My brands were Adidas and Puma until high school, when I could throw away my own money on stupidly overpriced Tretorns and Le Coq Sportif.

OMG I haven't seen those shoes in years!!! I had a pair of L.A. Gears with the key chain on the shoe just like in the picture except mine were pink, white and aqua.

I had some BK's too but I can't remember what colors they were.

Ahh my childhood days touched

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
