LA Gear---The Original Blowout..

[mdubs]

With the Zion incident, I am reminded of Kevin O'Neill planting the LA Gear flag firmly at the Bradley Center.   I cannot unsee Kev with the LA Gear track suit, permed curly hair and a mouth like an ashtray!!  The only problem, the shoes sucked.   They would fall apart.  Of course you can find anything on the internet.  Here is a clip, "a Marquette University basketball player was outfitted with this shoe and one player tripped on his shoe sole as it peeled off during a televised game! Talk about bad press!"
