I was a bit of a casual for a couple of years in the early 80s, Nikes were just coming in so they weren't an option... It was all Adidas and Puma; Reebok, Diadora, Fila, etc came later... Nobody wore Asics, they were the kind of shoe you'd see on a Japanese tourist or a German exchange student...
I do remember a couple of bods wearing NB tho'...
edit: Apart from the Nike Wimbledon, I'd say that was Nike's breakthrough shoe on 'the street'...

Asics were well worn in places other than the UK. We were just obsessed with Nike runners, Reebok Pump, Fila Fitness and British Knights.
