Away from the running legends and their leisure takedowns, there's some fresh (if if they don't look it straight out the box) retros of shoes like this, the Tennis Classic. Once the domain, in Velcro or lace-up form of the everyman looking for affordable pristine whiteness, like its perpetual tournament rival, the Stan Smith, carrying a perforated Swoosh to maintain olde world court decorum looks, the Fragmented Hiroshi co-sign last year seemed to blow the pub doors off for the Tennis Classic. With a current brace of high-end white-in-whites shifting units, it figures that these should be comfortable in costlier company, and with colours restrained to the tongue and heeltab, even the vintage process is minimal - a softer 'worn in' leather, some immediate slouching and minor creasing giving them a deconstructed feel, akin to olde world Wimbledons, while the slimmer shape and foam tongue is superior.
