Tecs like Nike Terminator High Tops

As a follow-up to my posts about my fond memories of Hi Tec Tecs; this short piece is about my latest pair of basketball boots purchased in homage to my most favourite of trainers. It is a shame that Hi Tec hasn’t reintroduced Tecs to its range but in their absence; check out the picture of the Nike pretenders, well technically they are called Terminator High Tops .

When I saw these shoes, I immediately thought that Nike had taken a stylistic cue or two from the vintage Tecs; the shape of the boot, perforated toe styling, the toe bordering, the colour coded stripe and the word mark repeated on the back of the heel.  

What also excited me was the colourway – I love brown and the individual colouring of each letter of Nike (including an orange ‘I’) on the back of the heel is a retro, earthy rainbow treat.

I haven’t owned a pair of basketball boots in more than 25 years but these shoes became mine and very pleased with them I am too. Whilst my wife looked at me in a manner I describe as bemused with a tinge of sympathy; my ten year old lad was quick to state “great shoes Dad”.
