I bought some for an ex's dad

Green Flash
Were more shit than Silver Shadows, they were on a par with 'Gola' and 'Speed Kings'.

I remember British Knights
Mostly they were black and white if memory serves.

Loads of people had either them, or Travel Fox trainers.

By this time, I was either on Converse or Airwalk.
