I bought the orange pair because I’m a UT alum, and they were $2 cheaper than either the black or white ones. After I wore them, other skydivers at the DZ became superstitious about them. My not wearing the orange Chucks was bad juju. I bought every orange pair I could find so that I’d never be without them. I still have two pair, though one’s a little ratty.Been around all my life. I hate the word "iconic" but those fit.
