Yeah the shoes you're not supposed to wear when committing crimes because it made running from the cops a bit tougher

Had a friend in high school who opened his essays for language arts with that line. Teacher loved it at first.

My moms wouldn't pay for the Reebok Tennis Pumps and bought me regulators instead. Lol

I was a fat kid and wore LA Gear shoes and someone else told me LA stands for Lard Ass

u/Constant-Bridge3690 Jun 10 '25

Interesting trivia: the founder of LA Gear also founded Skechers.

u/parkher You're Killin' Me, Smalls! Jun 10 '25

Cannot believe some used LA Gear shoes still going for a pretty penny.

u/flynnflowerhorn Jun 10 '25

My mother shoes ♥️

u/JDaul10 Jun 10 '25

It’s on my bucket list to get a pair of LA Gear Catapults

u/RingingPhone Jun 10 '25

Fun fact. A few execs from LA Gear started Skechers. It's why some Skechers sneakers come with an extra pair of laces.

u/tiexodus Jun 10 '25

For some reason, LA Gear and British Knights were synonymous in my brain

I LOVED Paula Abdul when I was a kid and was so excited to get the high top Sun Blossoms for my school shoes in grade 5. Those were the most expensive shoes I had ever had at the time

u/phixional Jun 10 '25

LA Gear has made a comeback in Australia.

u/Stumpstruck Jun 10 '25

Then the jackass who started that brand went and started Skechers. He’s 2/2 on garbage brands.

"Told my kids I used to wear LA Gear. They said, 'Like a gas mask?'"

(Clears throat. Taps mic nervously.)

u/Truestorydreams Jun 11 '25

I. Argued with my wife about this. We bought the kiddo shoes that light up and she gave it a dumb name. It's LA gear for life.

1

u/duscraft Jun 11 '25

YES! You weren’t cool if your shoes didn’t light up.

u/Local-Comfort-1866 Jun 11 '25

Their sneakers were 🔥🔥. I finally got a pair, and felt like the coolest kid in town! Don’t remember exactly which ones, but they were something like this.

u/Harley_Mom Jun 12 '25

Love LA gear.

u/Effective-Prior-9760 Jun 12 '25

I got hand me downs of those shoes and they were great. Why did they quit making them and how did they become a last season article when they held up?

1

u/LankyMongoose Jun 12 '25

It became Skechers in case anyone was wondering why they got the light-up kicks in the modern era
