Haven't seen ripples since the 80s (or desert boots for that matter - tried finding desert boots in the 90s to go with my safari suit for 70s fancy dress party). |

My dad was a kt26 man, then a new balance man. My grandpa is still a nb man. My dads a bit too dead these days, but my grandpa has the nb's as walking shoes. So 95 and still kicking. My dad also liked tracksuits, so puma tops and bottoms stuff. My grandpa, hes a bit more old school and proper. So trousers, shirt, knitted jumper yet the new balance shoes.

Must check the work ones out and stock up. I bought up a remaining supply of Australian made Oliver boots should last me the next three years. (I hope)
