I'm the original owner of these shoes. I used to work at a vintage clothing store and these were in-the-box-deadstock when I bought them. I don't know what year these were manufactured but I bought them in the mid/late 1990s. I only wore them a few times before deciding they just weren't me. Bright white rubber, clean crisp blue fabric with zero fade. Immaculate interiors, barely any wear to the soles, original laces. No damage or defects,
