Absolutely not. I was just glad to have sneakers.

In my day, we did not have sneakers - we had animal skins which had been carefully fashioned round the shape of a foot, and then stitched lovingly by my mother. Sometimes she put the name of the animal on them, in fancy stitching - like... Puma.
Then the Birkenstocks family next door disappeared, and suddenly we all got new shoes - I was quite concerned....

When I was young, there were no name brand sneakers. You could get three kinds of sneakers: Basketball Shoes, Hightop Basketball Shoes or Tennis Shoes (Tennies). Girls wore tennies, and boys wore basketball shoes.

No, but most of the time I wore P.F. Flyers or Converse.
In High School I wore Puma.

Of course not. It was better than having no sneakers at all.
We didn't have a lot of money to waste on labels, needing it for food and the mortgages.

There were no name brands. Take that back,.. something brown and keds.
Clothes didn't have names either, well there's always been levis, but other than that,..

I didn't care as long as I had sneakers.

No because I knew they could not afford anything more.

No... Brand names in sneakers weren't such a big deal then, as they are now. As I recall I wore Keds (Keds are for kids...Keds, kids, Keds) I think were the slogans. I also wore engineer boots (boots with a buckle on the side) When I was a little older (early teens) fashion and brand names became more of a priority. The brand name clothing was more expensive, so my parents would buy them as gifts, on holidays and B-Days. When I was 13, I worked to increase my wardrobe as a caddy. Converse was the popular brand of sneaker. They were canvas back then; mine were black.
