I bought these back in the mid 80’s and never had the guts to wear them. From my personal collection.


Graphics remind me of watching MTV in the 1980's, Max Headroom & New Coke and Jimmy Buffett.


These are brand new, New, Old Stock Men's

Size 9 Made in the USA Converse Skid Grips....never worn. Tried on. As you see from the images these are mint condition. Rear heel tags are gorgeous.


Bottom soles have a slightly dry feel to them and the result is a white cast - if you mink oiled this it will probably go away.


Please see all images.  Any dirt or smudges are the result of pushing 40 + years of age and sitting around in a storage box....Separation may occur if you wear them...For collecting purposes really....


Super cool and one of a kind 100% authentic and original 1980's Converse Skid Grips...

Not another pair like this as far as I can see for sale right now.


Converse run big....Should fit a men's 9.5 or so...


Here is the insole measurements (this is measured heel to toe in the inside):

10 3/4” inches


Bottom heel to toe measures: 11 3/4”


These should fit a foot that wears a Nike/Adidas mens 9.5-10 sized foot but please measure a well fitting pair of your own if you plan to wear these.



No warranty on shoes for vintage shoes, please wear at your own risk.


Please contact me with any ?'s.


Shoes seem perfectly pliable and wearable.

I may consider polite and sensible offers via Ebay's "Contact Seller" feature.


If I agree to a price, I will change the list price and you will have about 1 hour to purchase and pay at the agreed upon price.
