this is the sidestripe.

"my dad always doodled and he kept a pad on his desk. one day he drew the stripe he wanted for our shoes and went to our patent guy, an old cobbler from boston, and showed it to him. he called it the jazz stripe and they liked it so he put it on the old skool, style #36. that was our first skate shoe that had leather on it and first came out in '77. "
