Here's a rare skinhead piece, the dunlop green flash trainer. It was worn all the way back in 68 with American army green trousers, white t shirt, pull over jumper (solid color), and donkey jackets by the skins around kilburn. Its a unique alternative skin look out of the early days, back when crews organized themselves with a more uniform look between the lads. Skinheads pretty much exclusively wear leather footwear, be it boots, sambas, loafers, brogues, ect. so its unusual to see canvas to say the least. Leather trainer's from the mod days were also popular (incidentally mods were the first subculture to wear sambas), so it could have been a way to separate themselves.

There was never a sneaker that was associated with Skinheads until the samba in 85, but before that a go to for skins was the dunlop green flash trainer. They were worn since the start in 1968. One crew's fit was described, Donkey jackets, wite T shirt, pull over jumper, vietnam surplus pants, and the trainers. Crazy different look from what it evolved into, but you had all the pieces staying in circulation, especially the pants which became a staple
