I'd guess the stone washed denim was phased out by the late 80s, and the unlaced high tops were a thing through the late 80s also.

The OG photo looks a lot like John Platania w/mustache (SSL78),during the 1980's standing in front of his home here in West Chicago.
The cleaned up photo does not. Last edited by Mr70; 03-10-2026 at 02:07 PM.

That is correct, the picture was shared by John Platania on FB and was taken in 1985.

I believe John Platania owned N579568 a Hugger Orange with black stripes car that was sold out of Jack Douglas Chevrolet. I've never seen the car in person and don't know it's current whereabouts.
