Hi folks, does anyone know of the best comebacks in sports manufacturers? i.e slazenger was as good as forgotten in the 90s! sports direct has done a half decent job on bringing it back! what about Gola! the 80s and 90s seen it as a brand for the lower market but the mid 00's seen it back doing a great job in the retro market!

any others that have gone upwards or downwards?

    I've also noticed that Dunlop sports goods of various sorts now have a higher profile - remember these? :D

    What gets me is that kids wearing that type of stuff years ago would have been bullied and yet they have now become trendy. :confused:

    ...and, together with Ellesse, they seem to have both fallen out of favour these day. In contrast, there's been a great resurgence in demand for traditional Converse products and their imitators.

    I'd have said puma. They were kinda looked down on in my area but are now really quite popular. Pony seem to have disappeared altogether and British Knights are seldom seen.

    What happened to Errea? Remember them doing a few football kits in the late 90s but haven't seen them in ages.

    Reebok used to be one of THE brands of shoe to have, now I hardly see them at all.
