These were popular when I was at school, they did look a bit mental
I think those Puma trainers with no laces but just a twisty disk thing to tighten them were around at the same time - along with spliffy jeans and adidas popper trousers.
Crazy times

Young people have dressed like idiots for generations, but young people get old. It still irks me seeing old people barely capable of walking wearing sports attire or those too obese to see their danglies 
My uncle is nearing 60 and he still dresses like a wigga.
He pulls it off well tbh

I don't remember these Filas, for me it's school memories of Nevica ski jackets, Reebok Blacktop pumps (with hexalite soles), Nike Jordan VI infrareds and Jordan VII Raptors/Bordeauxs. Was too young to afford most of this kit; wasn't in the rich kid/cool gang anyway

Pretty sure I remember the trainers OP is referencing.
Definitely remember the other brands mentioned, including NASA (they made it as far as West Sussex at least).
Kickers were popular school shoes, the moccasin style ones with the tag. Also there was apparently a way to tell fake Ben Sherman shirts from the wash label or something.
