Dunlop Green Flash

[lucy.boy]

I couldn't find a thread on these plimsolls so sorry if there is!

'In the world of fashion, few styles bare the test of time. Even fewer survive to become design icons. GREEN FLASH lays claim to both. Though it can trace its pedigree back to the 1870's-and the invention of the very first plimsoll-it was the 1930's that saw GREEN FLASH moved to centre stage... or centre court to be more precise.There it was worn by the great fred perry as he took three consecutive WIMBLEDON titles. Over the next 70 years more styles and more stories simply added to the legend. But only now has GREEN FLASH truly come of age. A renaissance led by the return to classic English style and spearheaded by the original canvas leisure shoe.... GREEN FLASH by DUNLOP. The flash is back.' - drshoes.co.uk/item-123


Does anyone know if the original Green Flash were lace-ups or velcro straps?
