Hooligan Sneakers! The Impact of Terrace Fashion on Sneaker Culture!

[@Jammo1978]

I'm from Manchester and actually know/knew most of the original 70s Hooligans and I can attest to the fact that the Mancunian Hooligans actually picked up the trends by following the Scouse Grafters abroad and started goin out doing on their own 💯💯😉

[@loapsneakers]

Thanks man appreciate you sharing this! 💪🏼

[@Jammo1978]

@@loapsneakers Read the Book Grafters by Colin Blaney (RIP) he explains it all in there and he was an original Man U ICJ Crew wide awake firm and he was also on the Real football factory's with Eddie Beef (RIP) and the secrets of the shoplifters and Pickpockets and Britain's Toughest pubs and he's got his own channel on KZbin and you can find quite a bit of him on KZbin aswell Mate 😉

The number 1 grail of a 'terrace favorite' for those from the 80's. Ingot a pair 25 years ago & still look now and again for some. They stopped doing the kangaroo as far as I aware.

[@geezertechhead]

The name of the Adidas shoe is the Trimm Trab and along with it's low profile partner the Trimm Star the designs was part of German Government sponsored health initiative.

[@loapsneakers]

Thanks for your contribution! 🙏🏼

[@scottptolomey3498]

Not strictly true about the Trimm Star being the low profile partner Trimm Trab (Fit Trot) replaced the Trimm Star in 1975. Part of the German initiated ‘Trimm Dich’ health campaign due to the rise in heart related problems and statistics showed an increase in other major health factors. The campaign was launched in 1970 this included recreational areas having more park facilities to exercise. Adidas being a German company got behind the Trimm Dich campaign by introducing a specific style of shoe for ease,comfort and overall stability. This included the ‘Ghily’lacing system with the introduction of the Trimm Master in 1970 a nylon based training shoe followed by Trimm Star (1972). T.Master replaced the original Trimm Master in 1973 whilst in Austria other variants such as the Tramp and Walker were introduced as well as Monte Carlo and Holiday. Trimm Trab were introduced in 1975 when Adidas employed Bayer AG to manufacture a specific sole made of Polyurethane moulds to allow the shoe to ‘breathe’known as the Bayerflex system.replacing both the Trimm Star and T.Master. Although popular in its native Germany it didn’t take off in mainland Europe and the campaign effectively ended circa 1980. Had Wade Smith in Liverpool not imported this shoe in the very early 80s it wouldn’t have been popular in the UK that’s why it was favoured by Scousers affectionately calling them ‘Trabs’

Any idea why Puma was not a big player of the culture? the suede was a staple of 70s, 80s hip hop in the states as where the track suits, so kinda interisnting to see why it was not big in the uk even when they had some football GOATS signed to the brand (Pele, Cruyff, Maradonna).

[@kerryogrady3637]

Bro,don't take a Yanks, doing a "casual" documentary,,word for gospel,he got a few things sorta right but what he didn"t mention you could write a book with. Puma were huge in the eighties and nineties casual scene especially Puma "Set",G Vilas,Suede,Clyde and my particular favourite trainer of all time the Puma California in blue,a hell of a shoe there mate,yeah,Puma were and are the Business pal.
