Mondo shtuff from around the internet, all about PF FLYERS!
My botty best at summarizing from Wikipedia: PF Flyers is an american brand of lifestyle shoes that are currently manufactured by New Balance . Founded in 1937, it is one of the original American sneaker brands . in 1935, Canadian badminton player Jack Purcell “Everything you do is more fun with PF,” read one 1947 magazine ad . PF styles ranged from high- and low-top sport shoes to oxfords and moccasins . 1958 saw the first athlete to be endorsed by a shoe brand . PF Flyers became standard issue for certain military outfits . all-star basketball player Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics was chosen to market in 2018, PF Flyers created another limited run reissue of the sneaker shown in the film . this created a monopoly in the shoe market and the two brands were split due to an anti-trust lawsuit . in 2001, New Balance purchased PF Flyers and re-launched the brand in 2003 . the “Center Hi” was also the same model featured in the 1993 Sandlot film . in 2018, a baseball cle in 2018, New Balance re-released the “Windjammer” for its “Made in USA” line of footwear . the “Grounder” is similar in design to the “All American” model,
