Every time I see this shoe show up at random I think of Waynes World, not that anyone was wearing them, but its one of the few movies I have seen ever mention street hockey (maybe I need to step my cinematic game up, who knows?
This was a high top shoe, with plenty of support and protection from those flailing hockey sticks. The tongue looked like a hockey net, the all around look of the shoe was that of a pair of skates without the blades. There was visible air in the midsole, rubber on the toe area, an NHL plastic patch on the back area of the sneakers and label stitched on the inside of the shoe to let you know this shoe was the real deal “officially licensed” by the NHL. Comfort wise they were slightly on the heavy side but pretty comfy, they run true to size. If you think the Street Defender is retro worthy then vote below to bring them back!
