I remember Saturday afternoons at The Ritzy was where all the breakers went. It wasn't called The Ritzy then was it? What was it called again? Was it Tiffs? Tiffanys? That rings a bell like. I used to love it. Kappa tracksuits and trainers with thick luminous laces in. We used to carry the spraycans in an old works havasack and knock up the pieces, ducking down and hiding everytime a metro went past. Quality

I went to Walkers a few times. I have a great picture of me doing the windmills in there, with a few of the Breakers looking on.

In the UK in the early 80's was when we(Hip Hop followers), made tracksuits and trainers become a fashion statement, rather than just a sports item and reflection of the Hip Hop.:)
Now sportswear is all the rage and has been for years and will be for years to come.
