Sorry for spamming the boards recently.

I have one last question for today.

Does anyone know anything about these shoes, approx time period or why they would have the WBA/WBC's seal on them? I don't know the origin of the shoes, i just happened to find them today. I think that they're from the 70s.

Any help would be much appreciated. I don't know much about athletic shoes but these seem to be interesting.




 
That's as much as I've been able to find out as well. Thanks for looking.

I'm much more interested in what "Platin" means and also why these have the WBA seal on them and other prospeced ones don't appear to. So many questions :(

Is the other Adidas too? Maybe the other pair weren't made for WBA. Just like Nike, etc has different models of running shoes and there may be an official one for the NBA, but may make the same shoe with minor modifications for the public.

I might try to find one of those websites that specialize in talking about vintage tennis shoes - I know these aren't regular sneakers but maybe someone would know more as well.
