I kind of hijacked the narrative in the Casey-v.-Darling thread with shoe talk. The ROOS reference was to a series of threads 12 years back called Mets by the Footware, which I went back to find.



A lot of the photos are gone but we were trying (and failing) to make Met teams representing each brand of shoe. (Click imagees to enlarge.)



adidas:

  • Lee Mazzilli

  • Sid Fernandez

  • Keith Hernandez

I seem to recall Seav for a time was a Spalding spokesman.



"New Spalding Wings feel like wings on you feet, and with wings on you feet you can fly..."



Respect McReynolds rocking the Ponys. They were my brand for a short while.



I think Kingman rocks Pumas in that Sporting News cover

Sorry. If you're like me, though, the whole "boss" thing takes care of itself.

Got to add Rusty to Team All-Day-I-Dream-About-Sex



adidas:

  • Lee Mazzilli

  • Sid Fernandez

  • Keith Hernandez

  • Rusty Staub

That's kind of cool, since Lee Mazzilli and Keith Hernandez, despite being vets, were sort of proteges of Rusty's during their second tenure.
