These Reebok Workout Plus have been worn by my mum in the 70s, were then inherited by my sister, who sported them in the 80s an then handed down to me in the 90s. This shoe is older than me and a true family equity
From January 19, 2016 – March 15, 2016, visitors to The
Evelyn Burrow Museum on the campus of Wallace State Community College are able to see the most complete collection of sneakers on exhibit
in the Eastern United States. Robin Cummings debued the Charlotte Cummings Memorial Sneaker Collection, and according to Cummings, this is “a dream come true.” Cummings’ collection includes 536 pairs of sneakers, 430 of which are on display at the exhibit. “We have 12 complete sets of original Air Jordan shoes. We have
complete collections of all colorways of the 7’s, 10’s, 11’s (except 1),
15’s (except 1) and 29’s. Our collection includes selected Kobe, KD and
Lebron releases. We also have memorabilia displays of Michael Jordan,
Charles Barkley, Bo Jackson, The Birmingham Barons and Andre Agassi. The
memorabilia includes game worn and signed shoes and game issued jersey
(signed) and pants by Michael Jordan as well as a game worn jersey by
Barkley. The exhibit will also include close to 50 original framed Nike posters and much more,” Cummings said.
Charlotte Cummings, Robin’s late wife, ran the family sporting goods
store. In the mid-eighties when Nike first released the original Air
Jordan, Charlotte began setting aside pairs for safe-keeping. “Just
wait,” she said, “Michael Jordan is something special.”
Today it's a collection that will have Sneakerheads, sports
fanatics, pop- culture history buffs, and everyone in between with their
jaws on the floor are on display. Robin Cummings began adding to the collection nearly two years ago,
and at the age of 69 has garnered widespread attention on Instagram
where sneaker- culture has taken on a life of its own. This is a story
that has so many layers, and is rooted in the vision of a great woman.
It is truly a time capsule into the time in sports history just at the
beginning of sporting-goods being a part of American culture. A reception and grand opening for the exhibit was held on Jan. 24.

These had been one of my holy grails for a long time, until I got my hands on them a few years ago. The adidas Cancha was produced for a short time in 1985 only in Spain for the spanish basketball youth. I love these 'in between' models, one can see the unarguable relation to it's siblings the adidas Coductor, Rivalry and TopTen. Sometimes I have to check on them to make sure their insanely pristine condition wasn't only a dream!
