I have to throw Vision Street Wear into the mix. There was no easier way to get yourself hazed by your fellow skaters than to show up in that poser gear. Must have been designed by the same guy who invented the Member's Only jacket.
The thing that sucked was their pants were so comfortable. I was stoked when I discovered skate rags and......almost just as embarrassing as vsw, skidz.
I do remember being super stoked to find a sale on the first gen Air Jordans one day in Boulder back in the 80's. The second gen Jordans were coming out and the shoe store was blowing the old ones out for around $ 15.00 per pair. We used my friend's mom's credit card and got something like five pairs a piece. I was set for skate kicks for a while.
