    This auction is for one pair of vintage shoes by a brand that I have never seen before until now, and I've owned my fair share of vintage sneakers.
    This is a brand called "Studds." They are from the late 1970s or early 1980s. They were made in Taiwan, and as you know, production was heavy in Taiwan and Hong Kong at that time.
    These appear to be a mens US 6.5 aka 6 1/2.
    I not sure that these were ever worn, or if they were worn, it couldn't have been more than a couple times if that. So they're either old deadstock or close to it. I see a bit of insole wear to the size ink, so I'm inclined to think they were worn a couple times
    They're canvas and suede leather. Wine and Gold, like the Cleveland Cavaliers.
    In normal lighting I barely see anything wrong with them that's worth mentioning; in direct sunlight you can see some darker spots in the toe box suede, which I assume are inside glue mottling age spots in the suede, and not due to being worn. Again, only this visible in the sunlight, but you can see what I'm talking about in the last direct-sunlight photo.
    Note the large and detailed photographs.
    This is a rare pair of sneakers.
    Don't pass them up, and email me any questions. Thanks.
