"Yo, Doug!"

"What!?"

"Put your Ballys on!" "Yo, Rick, I was about to but I need a shoe horn!" I learned about the Swiss house of Bally from legendary Hip Hop pioneer Doug E. Fresh. He mentioned the brand quite a bit in his iconic music. Now, I knew Bally was still around because I used to like going in the store when I lived near one (come to Dallas!) but my '80s nostalgia this week led me to do a bit of cyber window shopping on their site.

I love the clean lines and structure of their pieces. To think - back in the day as a kid, I thought Bally only sold sneakers! I'm glad they are so much more!
