vintage CONVERSE native african prints KENTE CLOTH deck shoes SKIDGRIP US4.5 MADE IN USA vulcanized jams

 the converse cvo precedes the vans deck shoe but don't ask me who was 1st to use prints. regardless vans owns this market but ‎#converseMADEinUSA ‎#skidgrip & jams share the same vulcanised effects. the vans last was more tapered while the cons last was more open & suits a wider foot.

vintage CONVERSE JAMS world original OP ART print canvas oxford MADE IN USA 1980s dead stock GEORGE HARRISON surfline hawaii shorts shirt

 post beatle-boot era, john was infamous for his spring court, george was always a converse man while paul was always reknowned for being.... a douchebag.

george harrison can be seen at various moments through his career, mostly barefoot, however when in shoes he preferred converse. mainly all stars in the early days however he also favoured the recognisable 'smile' of the jack purcell. 

i knew he was a tripper however i was not ready for his 0:15 entrance in the ensemble video for the travelling wilburys 'handle with care'.


damn! george rocked jams!
this opened up a pandoras box of google image & you tube moments.

right here it appears dylan borrowed some jams from george who does not seem to be the surfline hawaii type. george's look like skidgrips but a wider angle confirms them as jams. this crew could indeed jam!

of anyone harrison was worthy of jams however if you ask me behind harrisons printed guitar they look like printed vans. if any google image experts can produce a beatle in off the walls i will be forever indebted.
