It was said that "Red Ball Jets" did make you "run faster" and "jump higher" and those little red balls on the heels.....well they kept you from makin' sparks that could set your pants on fire cuz you ran sooooo fast!

We tore the Red Ball labels off the heels first thing out of the box.

I remember getting white high-tops in high school and then hand dying them hot pink ( 1979-80 )...seems like they were about 8 bucks...also buying Levi's 501's for 7 bucks at the U.S. Outdoor store on McLoughlin blvd in Oak Grove...good times!
