Hi-Tec Tecs orginal box with inner wrapping Every so often this website kicks off some good dialogue between visitors, typically on the rather more niche subjects. It’s the engagement with my readers that I find the most enjoyable aspect of running the site.
1980s Hi-Tec Tecs is one of those subjects where people might come across my site because not many others have written about them.

Hi-Tec Tecs - a flash of pure trainer nostalgia and a Google let down (blog post)
Hi-Tec comes up trumps with Tecs shot
The latest exchange came as a result of Matt getting in touch to advise that decades after wearing out his Tecs, he still had the box they came in. You can see his comment in the blog post above.
Amazed that a box could have survived for so long, I dropped him a line and asked for some photos. Matt duly responded:
“I thought it was a long dead thread but I thought I'd give it a go! Here are some pics.”
The exchange with Matt prompted me to take to my keyboard.
Firstly, how amazing is it that a box has survived for so long?
I have an old Hi-Tec box in the garage that I have stored Christmas baubles in for the last few decades. It’s easily thirty years old, but it most definitely isn’t forty something. My box was for some later shoes, Silver Shadows maybe. I can’t remember, I’ll have to check sometime. Not only does Matt still have the box, he has the inner wrapping too. Wow!
Secondly, and for the benefit of all Tecs fans out there, I couldn’t not share the pictures.
Thirdly, even though this one started 13 years ago, a thread from my site is never really dead. If someone gets in touch, I am ready respond.
And let’s keep the Tecs dialogue going, it might even encourage Hi-Tec to reissue the shoes.
Finally, I have a slightly tired old pair of shoes that I thought I would share with you. As I type, I can see them out of the corner of my eye. They aren’t Tecs unfortunately, they are ‘Highlights’ instead. They are too small for me, so their condition is not going to get any shabbier … but I think they have the right kind of vibe about them. What do you think?
