L.A GEAR - totally rad kicks

below is what set me off into the amazing world of LA GEAR - a nice pair of kicks i found at Rozelle markets about a fortnight ago (i strapped each pair differently, just to show some options):

...what really sets them apart is the poppin' grill on the side of each shoe:

...the white and green colourway for the shoes is pretty weak, but then it has obviously faded, and i think its the women's version...

The most amazing shoe i have found in the LA GEAR range, however, is the late 1980's Michael Jackson x LA GEAR shoe, which led to an eventual US$10 million dollar lawsuit against Jackson by LA GEAR for breach of contract. Below is the shoe (with studs), the other 2 shoes pictured are promos that were never released:
