searching for those 80ies basketball boots/Hi Tops

[Lasse Lammert]

you know....the ones all the thrash metal bands had (the white ones )

I used to have them, but I can't remember how they were called...think it were nikes though...but not sure.
I have no idea what to google/how to find them...
any tips?

Air Force One's?

not my size though

the remakes look gay

'Vintage' shoes, 88$. . Size 13 though (my size,) and they look kinda cool and are thrash as fuck.

Adidas still do some 80s lookin ones I think. Can't think of what they're called but probably a search for 'retro' or something stupid like that will find em.

Edit: shit, sorry didn't realise you were looking for a specific type.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

nah, I'd be fine with any brand, as long as they have the looks I'm looking for.
but dammit, those old used shoes are fucking expensive...
I'll just buy my regular vans again for 50quid new I guess

I used to wear Nike, Converse and New Balance... combined with elastic tight denim. That was very metal!

As far as I remember... most of those dudes were rocking Reeboks. Nikes were for jocks, and Reeboks were for rockers and stoners and shit... blah blah. Just helpin out. Personally I wear a shitload of adidas "superstars". Got like 6 pairs in diff colors.

also cool:

Converse Weapon and Reebok Exofit

In that case, Adidas do the Forum which is kinda what I'm thinking you're looking for. Also in a mid version...

Looks like this:

[Jind]

Could see about the Reebok BB4600 Ultra Mid:

or if you want a little more height on the body - the Reebok Ultra Hi

Both have that old school white hi-top thrash vibe going.

Pony High-Tops:
