I was threatened to have my shoes taken in Chicago one year in the mid-90s. (”I’ll take your shoes from you”) They were black “Clyde Frazier” Pumas with a red stripe. By dumb luck, these $35 sneakers I bought at Lechmere happened to match Chicago Bulls colors (Michael Jordan era). I wasn’t trapped on a train, so I just kept on walking. Best pair of sneakers I ever owned for my wide feet.
1985 I worked Lechmere in Dedham, Ma.
Best job as a teen during the greatest era.
Great store too..
Awesome memories...I still have friends I met from working there.
