" Ashishi ma tekkie - this is not my size! My Momma bought me brand new shoes - but she didn't know what my size was!" Marcy Pakela ( I believe) Southern Africans do you remember that song? More importantly do you remember the video? It had this tiny singer Marcy Pakela and her groupies all doing Ma Pantsula dance moves and wearing blue Converse All Stars AKA
Tekkies. Well now Tekkies have arrived in Japan! Yes and there is a handy pronunciation guide affixed to the label. These Tekkies are very funky all colors and patterns too.
So as you can see we took a detour to ABC MART or Sneaker Heaven. And Kojja was highly entertained. We did run into some issues allocating size 12 USA sneaks. But apparently some styles have more varied sizes. We also noticed a mega sale on Converse All Stars! Lawrence are you there? And next up as I suggested to Lawrence - how about a very simple white pair of Converse All Stars and a couple of really jazzy types of laces. Then you can rock it 1980s stylee. Note there are so many variations in lacing techniques. I included the classic grid two tone for your viewing pleasure. And if you are feeling adventurous how about some FAT laces. Yes that is the actual product name.

I definitely remember that Mercy Pakela song . . . the pantsula dances in the video were highly entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI do find it amusing that there is a pronounciation guide on the box for the Tekkies . . . that is just great!
man those chucks are making me go crazy. the white effect really makes you feel like u heaven
ReplyDeleteHela Bwanastunna is that a new twist on London Stunner? Loves it. And yeah told you - can't beat the classics. Luckily for you size 10.5 USA is usually easy to find. Kojja is having a hard time finding his USA 12.
