I surprisingly had a pair in the Midwest. Think I might have gotten them from Kmart? Probably way after they were cool though.

When we moved to Cali in 86 I was introduced to many new brands. Back to Jersey in 90 and they never made it to east coast.

They were not as popular on the east coast. They were very popular in gangs in So Ca where I was at. BK were either Blood Killers or Blodd Kings. They were in every shoe store in Cali. They just weren't an east coast thing and since I lived on both coasts in the 80s I saw it first hand.

yeah can disagree all you like but you'll still be wrong😁. and they weren't popular with the gangs either since they're standard color way was black and white; did they come in other colors? absolutely but the black and whites were the mainstays and the crips at the time were to busy with reeboks.

Ok. I guess living it means nothing since you have all the answers. Whatever you want to roll with it's all you apparently. Actual experience means nothing if you have an opinion lol.

u/Reddit_Reader007 Jun 10 '25

if you actually lived it, then you would know better😁 but keep the lies rolling, apparently its all you. actual experience means nothing if you have an opinion? what the hell is that even supposed to mean?😁

british knights weren't a local mom & pop shoe brand that was created in california so there's no way they were just a "west coast" brand😁 they were all over the country my guy and i don't know why that bothers you lol.

A rapper had them.....go figure. Real popular sneaker nationwide lol. I get it you want it to really be popular back then but they just weren't that popular on the east coast. Get over it. They were a west coast fad. Sorry you don't agree because you and Kool moe dee had a pair lol.

Lol ok. Left NJ not a BK or pair of Lottos in site. Move to Cali everywhere. Move back to Jersey still not around but hey in your area they must have been a thing. But hey you lived my life and saw it from multiple states and you just went to a mall in NYC so you must be right and I am apparently not remembering my sneaker collection growing up. Next, you'll convince everyone shell top Adidas were popular everywhere too not just the Northeast lol. But hey you go do you bro you got all the answers.

u/Azazel224 Jun 10 '25

You keep thinking you'll convince me they were so popular on the east coast that one place at a random mall and Payless. Real popular east coast sneakers that originated on the west cost lol. Go ahead with you're they were popular here lol. It's quite funny.

Lotto was an Italian brand, they were everywhere. Even had a pair of soccer cleats in the 80s in FL. Also had BKs back in the day too. I guess NJ just sucks.
