FILA RACER!! Not the K1's, but the original that came out about 6 years ago.
Agreed, I forgot to put them in. The orange and blue ones? Or earlier model (black and neon green)?
Also I'de like to point out- it's funny how people rate their favorite flats by the era when they ran at their peak. No matter how shitty those shoes were, you were fast and have fond memories of those times... That's why you rate those old models over the newer ones. I am old enough to compare models from late 80's/early 90s with the newest models, and the technology makes a big difference. The latest model of AIR Mariahs (white with gold swoosh and black purple outsole- released in '97) are far superior in ride, lightness and cushioning to previous models.
If you are young and efficient, you can wear just about anything- it's your training that makes you fast.
