White ones, though.
In grade school, we still wore P.F. Flyers.
Sophomore year we got the Converse suede low tops in goldenrod with a brown star.
In early college, I went Adidas and never changed. (Well, I quit playing competitive basketball 30 years ago. So, I guess I did change from Adidas to nothing.)

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
