In the 1950's, kids (including myself) wore Converse canvas sneakers in black. Period. When I started to play basketball in my teens, the Converse outlet store in Malden, Massachusetts was the place to go. Low-cuts were fine, but a few ankle injuries later, high-tops were the better choice. I absolutely never envisioned just how the importance of what-used-to-be-called sneakers would take flight with the evolution of basketball and the NBA.
