Littlewoods - I remember me Mam getting me a bright Orange Adidas T-Shirt and some Royal Blue, White & Orange Adidas Poppers and some Nike Air. Walked around like a king for 24 hours, til me Nikes got nicked out the porch when they were drying as I'd stood in dog shite.

My Gran, alternated between Empire and Freemans depending which one she was pissed off with at the time
First thing i bought for myself was a pair of white leather no brand trainers in the early 70's then a pair of puma when proper brands started to appear.
Oddly, I've just written a gag about exactly that, yesterday. I write jokes and sketches for a mate who is a comedian and one is about how accessible porn is, these days, compared with us knocking one out over the slightest hint of a pube or nip in the Littlewood's catalogue.
