Avia Mens Retro 715 Athletic Sneakers, Sizes 7-34

I bought these basketball shoes for my boyfriend for Father's Day. I remember the Avia shoes from the 1970's I was upset that that Avia didn't make boys shoes I loved the padding inside the shoe. In the early 1990's I was working for a sporting goods company, that has gone out of business, it was extremely easy to sell the low top basketball shoes most of my customers bought the shoe for walking not basketball. Since Avia brought back the Men's retro 715 shoe, I could not wait to purchase these shoes for my boyfriend. He needed a good walking shoe with a lot of cushion every morning he walks our 4 dogs. I have two Pit mixes who loves to try run when they are on the leashes my boyfriend needed a shoe that would allow him to chase the dogs if they got loose and provide a lot of cushion and support these shoes meets his needs

I already survived bullying in the 90's and now I'm too old to care what people think about my shoes. For $17 on clearance these shoes are great. They even come in the retro 80's style box. Great for any collectors out there. For me personally, it reminded me of the good parts of being a kid again. These shoes are quality for the money, maybe not be quite as well made as some of the more known brands, but for that retro cool and nostalgic feeling while also being a good pair of errand running beaters, you can't go wrong.
