Hi Tec
If you were looking for a place to make sports shoes, Shoeburyness sounds like as good a place as any, and thank the Lord that's what the nice people of Hi-Tec thought too. Hi-Tec's first trainer was the simple, yet beautifully crafted "Hi-Tec Squash" which was specifically designed for - you've guessed it - Squash players! However, with it's classic blend of leather and suede and a lightweight gum sole it was a hit with everyone and has sold over 18 million pairs to date. And 18 million can't be wrong, you dig?
Hi-Tec Retro Trainers
You can buy the Hi-Tec Squash here at Balcony Shirts, along with Hi Tec's other retro classics from the 1970s and 80s. On their official website Hi Tec state "Your leisure time is too precious to walk around feeling uncomfortable in your shoes". Try as we might, we can't put it any better than that. Yeah!
