That's weird. I bought a pair of Red High Top Chuck Taylors at a flea
market in the New Territories of Hong Kong back in 1990. They had the Chuck
emblem, but I think they were either bootlegged, or licensed to be made
over in China. I love them shoes and I still wear them although they
embarrass my son and wife to death. They're size 12 and they refer to them
as my ugly bozo shoes. Fuck 'em. They have no taste.
