What you are looking at a pair of runners designed by Johnny Marr, former partner to that singing monstrosity Morrissey and now guitar-slinger for hire (currently employed by Modest Mouse).

They are in “luxurious” dark blue leather with black accents, while Marr’s signature is laser-etched in the tongue of every shoe.

Can anyone explain what is it about iconic Mancs and runners? After sneaker pimps getting all excited about the Joy Division trainers, along comes Johnny with these PF Flyers (which look a bit like old-school Pro-Keds to me). Answers in a comment field below please.
