I thought all Chuck's were high-tops?

Edit: n/m, I googled and see otherwise.

When I was a kid growing up in Florida in the 60's and 70's, you either had Chucks or you had "Hot-Boxers". If you wore hot boxers you were certainly not cool. The term referred to the stitch pattern at the bottom of the lacing, where the vamp and upper rejoined. Chucks had a triangular stitch pattern and for some reason all the Keds and other knock-off brands had a square box pattern. Google seems to bear out it was a Florida thing.

I broke from the pack around 1979 and got a pair of leather Nike hightops. White with a grey "swoosh". After a long while of daily wear the black kids started laughing and calling them "King Tut" shoes because the white finish on the leather started cracking and crazing. I didn't care, though. I wore them to school, shrimping, biking or whatever.
