I have worn Stan Smith sneakers forever - not sure they even make them anymore. There were public tennis courts/clubs everywhere you looked, many of them have been converted into basketball courts and other uses.
Not only men.. but women as well and they weren't famous for being hot like today. In fact, it was quite the opposite.
