I am original old school head and I had flavors of these. My favorite was the Burgandy Lace up's These where hot. Then the Wallabee's came out and took over. The British walkers were the official Uptown shoe and the clark wallabee's were the Brooklyn shoe. Then came the Ballys Alexis. Another Throw back for you. Things were so much better back in the days.

I keep calling the OldSchoolBritishWalkers.com phone # but I never get anyone to pick up. But don't forget the British Knights and how they were in the mix too. Strap/Buckle with the quilted tops. Oh but wait, remember The PlayBoy's? All suede, all kinds of colors with the thick black sole. Bruh's from Shaolin used to rock these hard.

This shoe was the fire do you hear me. Burgundy was the colr slip on of course with the tassle. Nothing like rocking a pair withe a matching CHAMS de BARON button down, Navy BLue Calvins Or LEE Demins ANd Of Course THEE KANGOL, A pair of Cazelle's And APeterbilt JACKET. Your ready to hit the Duece.

36th and 8th ave....Still sell Sanders(Playboys Chukka-with the british flag inside of the shoe)@ $220 a pop but they have a cheaper version like GBX. The Orginial British walkers they sell as well. Every year I purchase about $700(2 or 3 pair of the orginal old-school shoes). I'm 47 and I was rocking all of old school kicks of the late 70's and early 80's...check out 36th and 8th ave.

Man you all bringing back memories, my favorite pair of British Walkers were a Blue and Light Blue pair of Suede and Leather BWs. Pair of Calvins or Lees, Stradler 3/4 Trench or Sheepskin, Mock Neck or Alpaca sweater, (my favorite was a royal Blue with White, Lt Blue and Royal V's on the neck or the Carnigan sweaters w/ the stripes running down from Delancey. Shark Skins or Plaids, and do not forget the Nylon Socks w/ White tube socks underneath or the Argyles w/ the Clarks Wallabees, Desert Boots or Clark Padmore. And yes, cannot forget those Playboys, they are back???? I have been down in Florida, please say it is so. I remeber my Rust suede pair of Ballys. And two-Toned Cazals and the YSL frames.

Been lookin' for Playboys for some time....How old are ya'll anyway?...If you don't remember Paris underwear you ain't old enuf. They used to come in every color in the rainbow....they were nylon..felt good like silk, especially when you were slow dancing to the Delfonics, or the Mad Lads,or Love Men the Temprees...you had to be there...Yo,..check out Zappos.com, free shipping on purchase and return...they sell that Stacey Adams Sanders shoe from the previous note, and it's real close to Playboys...maybe they bought out the company. Anyway check out Mcreedy and Schreiber 213 E.59st NYC off 2nd/3rd Ave 212/759-9241....they never stopped selling Playboys. I used to stop in there at lunch time in the 70's. Had a pair of red patent leather low cut...even the shoe repairman could resole them when they wore out. Florsheim used to sell them..That's where I bought mine. You could wear them to be fly......, then go play ball without changing into your Cons or Pro-Keds. Anyway,..God Bless Ya'll and Merry Christmas.
