Please Bring Back LA Gear LA TECH Light Gear!!

[charmcitykid]

I had these back in middle school. Imo these are THE sickest non Nike shoe of the '90s. I had the men's high version they were white/turquoise-grey-black but I can't find clear a pic (pictured below are ¾ version). They were huarache-esque and a style I'll never forget. These NEED to be retrod ASAP!

EDIT: the last pic is the pair I had, but not the clearest pic...

I'll always remember that LA Gear had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the tail end of his NBA career. They also had Joe Montana. That's some late '80s stuff for anyone who wasn't aware of that or wasn't born at that time yet.

It's like they disappeared in the '90s.

I remember they had Ron Artest in the 2000s. But they dropped him after that brawl/riot in Auburn Hills at the beginning of the 2004-05 NBA season. I think Luke Walton wore that brand when he was with the Lakers.

One of my good friends had the Laker colored pair. Was the only dude in school that had em. I remember if you took the light out and flipped it upside down, it turned off. He ended up having to do that so he wouldn't get yelled at.

I remember when dudes starting wearing LA Gear Street Hikers at my high school. Actually considered getting a black/purple/teal pair.
