Although the memory is endearing, I’m going to go with nay. There are very few athletic shoes that can be considered fashionable in my opinion, and those .. are not it.

As you probably know, I am usually “down with” the yea or nay’s but hold up on this one ......Might as well wear the red leather Michael Jackson jacket with it… Or some tapered jeans…I could go on

I’m thinking Nay as well , but they are making a BIG comeback on the fashion scene. Now I can’t say that my “nay” will stay if they bring back the pink versions (but I can guarantee no more wave noveaus)

But I live in LA, I’m not sure people would “get it” in Sandusky.

When I was a child my parent bought me a new pair of sneakers each year before the start of a new school year.  It was a BIG deal to pick out the perfect pair because they had to be cool for an entire year.  I picked these sneakers two years in a row!  That is REALLY saying something. 

That said.  Nay.  Keep the 80s in the 80s.

Ummmm, YUCK!!  I had my fill when I was little girl.  Reebox are probably a good reason why I don’t wear athletic sneakers now (gym use only).

I think they’re retro and cool.  I think it was Vans that came out with a plaid Kurt Cobain-esque version last year.

I said nay to these back in the 80s, and I will say nay to them again. Unflattering.

I have a similar memory, except the New Edition concert was in Knoxville. I say Nay, I’ll leave the Reebok’s back in the 80’s. However, if my daughters would like a pair I’d buy them.

I’d have to go with YAY.  80’s stuff is coming back in style, so why not??  As long as the baggy, day-glo sweatshirts and acid-wash denim don’t come back, I’m cool.  ;)

I’m almost embarrassed to admit I *still* have my old black Reebok hightops from the 80’s.  They made neat hockey “skates” a few years ago when I went to a Halloween party as an NHL referee.  I just switched out the black laces for white ones.  LOL

Wouldn’t be caught dead in them. And I’ll bet you can pick up a pair at your local Salvation Army for $3.
