Those Ramblers are hot! Just ordered a black pair myself.

I hope you bought these. Even if they aren't your size, you'll make a ton on resale!

And now they're mine. How old do you think? Interestingly, now that I look carefully, it says they were made in Czechoslovakia.

Hmm......maybe 60's? Definitely a dime store brand which make them more interesting. I've sold similar oddities from the same era for big $$. They'll most certainly go to Japan. Check out My Freedamn (6 I think) for pages and pages of collectible sneakers.

Very cool man! They really have an old time Summer in the city look about them.
They would cool with one of these:

Nice. I like these

which go for $45, and for those of us outside the US they ship internationally.

Just about every shoe PF Flyers does is on this site:

Not the best prices you'll find though.

I'm about to list my 1943 PF Flyer Rambler reissues in the classifieds! Purchased almost exactly one year ago and never worn. Check it out!

flat-top · Jun 5, 2011

It seems that the PF Flyer was the sneaker of choice among the trainees of the X-Men:First Class.

Classic 40s / 50s style Hi-Tops besides PF Flyers and Converse?

Well, it looks like PF Flyers killed off the Rambler and the Bob Cousy models and made endless horiffic colour variations of the Center Hi model. Converse are pretty much the worst shoe ever made, so I'm looking for a replacement sneaker.

Any suggestions?

flat-top · Jul 26, 2011

Colchesters?

Or my favorites,CEBO that appear to not be available anywhere anymore (the email from this page doesn't work) http://ceboshoes.com/ceborules/The_only_viable_alternative_to_All_Stars.html
I got my first pair form Geronimo many years ago and wore them out. I'd love a new pair.

repeatclicks · Jul 27, 2011

Thanks for the reply flat-top. I remember seeing the Colchesters a couple years ago when they had black and just thinking they looked a little cheap, so I passed.

I was even interested in the PF Flyers Grounder, but thats gone too! How annoying. The search continues...

Keds?

It's been a while, but I remember seeing a high top that was very classically styled.

flix · Jul 28, 2011

I think you're talking about the Keds "Royal Hi Canvas"

That sucks about the PF Flyer Ramblers...got myself a pair last year and another this year on clearance. I have some Colchesters too....they are nice looking but no where near as comfortable.

flat-top · Apr 4, 2012

I love these Keds Boosters. They are repros of their 1930's hopsack "Wino" shoes. I want every color:

AWESOME! Wish they did the black ones with a gum rubber sole instead though : (
