I loved these shoes as a teenager in the 1970's. Let's jump forward. I bought a couple of these in 2010. I loved wearing them again! Vintage! Modern! Then they were worn out. I bought another pair in 2015. I loved wearing them again. again! Then my son pointed out that superstars are very popular with teenage girls. To flatter himself, he sent me lots of pictures of girls from his high school wearing them. Now I feel like an idiot wearing them.
