Are You From The 80s?

[storm]

Munsingwear, Sergio Tacchini, ellesee, Fila Bjorn Borg t-shirts. Addidas and Puma sneakers made you really sikat, although Nike was starting to make a name then when it introduced the waffle shoe. Remember pelota? I used to be a hot player then. Wore short shorts together with dragon brand rubber shoes as they were the lightest on the market, parang tsinelas.

 

Tennis was also uso then badminton was just a game played by kids in the kalye. Who can forget the Jimmy Connors - Bjorn Borg - Ilie Nastase - John MacEnroe matchups? And didn't everyone think Jimmy Connors and Chrissy Everts made a fine pair?

These are late seventies to early 80s. Pelota made waves in the mid-70s.

 

John McEnroe ended the 5 year run of Borg in Wimbledon in 1981. Borg retired on that year after losing in the US Open finals against McEnroe. McEnroe also won the Wimbledon in 83 and 84.

Jimmy Connors married the Playmate of the Year Patty Maguire. He won in Wimbledon and US Open in 82.

Other notable and dominant players of the 80s were Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg, Boris Becker and Mats Wilander.

 

Among the ladies, Martina Navratilova reigned supreme and still playing professional tennis.

Yup...parang suot ng blues brothers.

 

Speaking of the 80's saw the trailer of the Miami Vice remake starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx. Iba pa rin dating ni Don Johnson as Sonny Crockett and his partner Ricardo Tubbs. Fashion of the 80's t-shirt and blazers, no socks...cool! :thumbsupsmiley:

Pag may pera, Tia Maria....Pag wala, Halfway Inn (sabay pick-up na rin ng mga chicks. Hehehe!)...Pag lasing na, Good Ah o kaya Burger Machine on the way home....depende kung magkano pa natirang pera for the day.

Unisex ang Tretorn. Made in Sweden.

 

Bought some Tretorns of different materials (canvas, suede and leather) and color. My favorite was the all-white leather stitched on the side like adidas superstar.

 

I still have a vintage Banana Republic T-shirt (butas-butas na) with a lion printed at the back. Pam-beach pwede pa! :cool:

 

Favorite place namin noon ay ZigZag, Culture Club and Route 66.

Yung gamit kong attache case noong college (Samsonite Omega circa 1979) ay buhay pa rin hanggang ngayon. Ang tibay talaga. I met one of my old friends from college. He's still a sperry topsider loyalist. He was wearing a blue topsider when we met last month.

how 'bout sa jeans naman bossing? maihahanay ka ba sa magkalabang panig ng mga old reliable na Levi's o Wrangler? o baka naman sa mga tipong signature na Jordache, Calvin Klein, etc. ako die-hard Levi's pero lately mukhang mas tipo ko na ang fabric at fitting ng Wrangler. :thumbsupsmiley:
