Ah, Memories. My first pair of spike were Adidas Tokyo's! The shoes really were better back then. And asphalt was STILL softer than concrete!

A real pair of blue suede shoes, and very fast. I eventually set my HS's school records at 880y and 4x440y relay in those pair, and I still have them in a box out in the garage. My brother went for a pair of leather Spalding spikes. That's right, Spalding make track spikes in those days. They were white with red stripes. I have no idea whatever happened to them. They were definitely heavier than my Tokyo's. My brother was a miler/2-miler, while I was more a 440/880 type.
