Those Kaypee's are hot even though its a clear copy cat of Converse CONS... And the poster wherein players wore Barong Talagog / Black pants and thisKaypee.... Talk about formal with Kicks just like J's in proms

 

[dako akong otin]

Kaypees were the bomb... I'm all for supporting local brands! I didn't know they're the same makers of islander slippers

i dont mind rocking this today.

Adidas back then was produced locally by Rubberworld along Quirino Hi-Way... these are the same factory that made the Kaypee and Grosby shoes.... we werebuying adi superstar there coz of the 50 pesos difference from store price to factory price....

I remember envying a friend whose superstar is made in France and the sole was softer than the local and it's yellowing which is a sign that its notlocally made...

I had kaypee in 4th grade, everyone in school was teasing me because they had their air Jordans, GH Filas, RBK Shaqs and air Pennies.

^^^How 'bout Dinolight?? Yung may strobe lights sa midsole w/c lights up every time you take a step!

La gear man. If im not mistaken these were the first ones to have those "lights" in the shoe. 2 variationswere available back then.

1 where light is at the heel portion and can be pulled up wih a special la gear thingy. Other one would be the pair of LED's at the side of the shoe...Hahaha!

DINOLIGHT is the first shoe i was begging to my mom to buy for me before Nikes .. still remember the commercial of DINOLIGHT

There's just one thing that I've been wondering about since I was a kid. What happens if the battery runs out?
