Super brand vintage sneakers

Hey Y'all - we're looking for a needle in a haystack and figured this is a small community of vintage collectors who might have come across a pair of these. Putting up this post to see if anyone else out there has a pair of 'SUPER' branded vintage running shoes from the late 70's or early 80's. The first photo is a pair that we own and the second is from the excellent @somashimokitazawa website. If you have the black pair or others please DM us.

Four Stripe Legends: Dale Earnhardt Sr.

Awhile back we put up a post on rocker Neil Young wearing 4 stripe sneakers. I saw recently on The Dale Earnhardt Archive twitter account that NASCAR racing legend Dale Earnhardt Sr. also wore some awesome 4 stripe Kinney NBA shoes between 1979 - 1981. Here’s a couple of photos and the ad for the Kinney NBA shoes below.

There’s another photo from Getty images in 1981 where Dale was wearing the opposite blue and yellow Kinney NBA runners.
