p.s. someone was trying to tell me about this really rare shoe, i think they were called black widows or something? if you guys know what im talking about i would love to hear more. |
There was a phase after Cliff Keen split from their creative program with Converse (Created a really cool IMO shoe called the Dynatech, I think??) that they created a shoe that was called the Black Widow. True to its name, it was black with some blue and green accents and was created solely under the Cliff Keen brand. It had a primarily single sole and had flex grooves along the arch and outer foot.
A high school teammate had them and I personally didn't care for them, but mostly due to my hating black shoes at the time....I recently bought a black pair for coaching. The shoes themselves were from 1992 or 1993 I think.
I will take a couple photos of mine as part of a seperate thread on here and post later. On a side note, I noticed there is a really unique pair of dark green and black Adidas wrestling type shoes on Ebay that look similar to the casual shoe Adidas brought out a couple years ago that looks like an early version of the Combat Speed (Ed note: The red Adidas in the above post).
