Yo mook, google it like this, thafoundation.com and you should be straight. Check out the interview w/ Coke La Rock it's hard, talking bout the good ol days in the bronx, soundview. That's where I used to leave. 1669 and 1725 up tha block. then you can check out all the dope battle tapes from back in the day. Yea I be on you tube, but you got to punch in the coldcrush brother's, the fearless four, all the ol skool crew's and check out the clip from "wildstyle". So check these out and let me know what's up.

Yo Nat what up Baby? Yo I went to that site son the reason I couldn't get in was cuz I was punching in "the" instead of "tha" but yo, I read that interview wit Se-Divine bout 4 months ago in the library but I had to leave so I didn't get to read the whole joint I forgot the link to the site, so 4 months later you had it so good lookin. Yo that joint(site) is fire son that's what I'm about the essence man all them dudes from the very beginning Flash Melle Mel which is my all time best. Yo Divine said he seen Mel go in a bathroom come out 1/2 hour later wit a song on a piece of tissue I heard that somewhere else I like Caz too of course Flash is my all time best DJ probably the best. Growing up in the Bx must have been the truth son being the home of hip-hop I see Bx cats always took this thing seriously and still do. Oh yeah I always loved Whiz Kid that dude was the truth wit the fader but how was it in the 80s up there(Bronx) when it was really poppin off? . Growing up in B-more I always was down, in like 79 my man went to Howard U and he cut into dudes from the nation (Zulu)and he used to spin so he put me on wit dudes from the Bx and I used to ask them question after question man they used to laugh but I was curious.They told me that Sugar Hill was biters when Rappers Delite was out them cats gave me alot and every other dude from the Bx that would move down here so you can imagine when I hit Bk in 85 i knew more than the average dude about the pioneers where they was from who used to be a crew back in the day all-a dat even my cuzin in Bk didn't know what I knew then. In 83 the dude gave me what I call the hip-hop bible a book called,"Rap Attack" alot of books was out then but this was the truth son. So I consider myself an expert on back in the day hip-hop.Yo I listen to Super Rhymes and be like yo aint no reason why this dude and many others can't still make records dem brothers can spit son. Listen to TI and all the dudes in the game now, like Divine said I don't call it rap they should rename it but they rhyme so elementary you can always predict what they gonna say next so why not bring back the old skool they can still go right? Anyway I'm still waiting to hear from them dudes in India but I hope everybody E mailed them so we can put the press on them and ,MAKE them bring that shoe back,word. PEACE Dee

Good detective work Nat and Mookie! I should hop on a plane to India tomorrow! The problem of course is the name "The Original Britishers." It is a copyright. I am REALLY frustrated that these clowns aren't making them anymore. Why is it that everytime something good comes out and people are excited, they yank it away prematurely??? Doesn't make sense. Anyway, I may be putting up some on Ebay shortly so the people from out of state can see what its about. I will let you know.

Yo Mark what up baby? I talked to you several times about this problem do you think they dont take us seriuosly? Like we aint gonna buy enuff for them to make, or do you think it is something else? cuz yo that's the story of the Nike Air. Down here in b-more in spring '83 after the 2nd Nike Air came out, the low white w/silver stripe & bottom, Nike cut them off cuz Adidas was killin'em wit the flavored Top Tens,the Concordes and Forums so they fell back off the Air. Then in 1987 after Adidas came out wit white w/ burgundy stripes and white on white forums a dude name Mr. shoe from "Charley Rudos Sports" got tired of us asking him about the Nike "Airs" so he called Nike himself and ordered 1000 pair, the rest is history they gave him his own shoe with his name and the b-more area code at the 25 yr anniversary as a token of appreciation for making them millions of dollars richer,it's in the movie "just for kicks" anyway my point is it got to be something seriously wrong with this company because they can't lose by making this shoe. But anyway thanks for the post so all the brothers who didn't have'em got a chance to get'em yo I'm still gon e mail'em, call'em or whatever somebody is gonna have to tell me NO! Then I'll stop maybe somebody smart will cone out wit all the flavors and styles one day without the name cuz believe me if I knew how to make shoes,son I would be making them right now! Nah mean?(LOL) Peace Mark and all my 80s heads Dee

Yo, Mark and Mook, I just got an email from India in regards to the British and here it is: Hi Eric We at Khadim’s, have accessed your mails on the ‘Britishers’ footwear. Just to put things on perspective, British Walkers is a registered footwear brand of Khadim India Ltd and retailed in India through our EBOs. Previously, we had exported this brand to our working associate in US, in early 2000s, which is presently discontinued. Not sure, whether you are talking of the same product, as we had no presence in US in the 80s. You could send us an image of the Britishers footwear, so that we can confirm the same from our end. Nonetheless, thanks for bringing the same to our notice. Would attempt to extend plausible help in your Britishers resurrection cause. Warmly.~Anamika Now fella's here is what we have to do, and this goes for ANYBODY out there who has pictures or who can get pictures of the british we used to wear in the 80's any styles and colors(zip up, velcro, tie-up, slip on , tassle,) etc. to show this woman to let her see if she can help us like she said. So Let's get busy and find those flicks. Go to old school web sites, you tube, old school movies, whatever. And let's see if we can get this crackin' by this summer....Ol' School fa LIFE! Peace.
Allnat - February 06, 2009 - Mark this comment as inappropriate
The ones we are gettin' now are the ones that came back in 2000 not the ones we was wearin' in the 80's. Those are the ones we want to see again the alligator, hi-top two tone, slip on tie up, tassle, in all flavors!

*****British Walkers VS Britishers*********** DONT BE FOULED BY BAD IMITATIONS I visited they store on 8thave. bet 37 & 38th st. Not the real thing. the Original British Walkers had soft suede good quality leather and tassels........ suede and leather tassels. gum rubber bottoms and a nice thin profile WELL STITCHED. the gentlemen I spoke to on the phone before visiting hyped up the fact that they were original then in the store he after my dislike of the store found a more correct explanation for the shoes. bsbsbsbsbsbsbs. TELL THE TRUTH THEY ARE NOT ORIGINAL THEY ARE BAD COPYS EVEN THE PLAYBOYS LOOKED BAD. CAN ALWAYS GET WALLABEES FROM CLARKS. THESE SHOES ARE NOT MADE BY THE ORIGINAL COMPANY. DONT BE FOULED. I ALWAYS BEGGED MY MOMS TO BUY MY BRITISH WALKERS NOT "britishers". from 6th grade through high school. I Know British Walkers. These arent it. also on other thing. the guy stated that the other web site with DJ Red Alert was supplied by the same store on 8th ave. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL beat them in the head. GOOD LUCK ALL.

Ayo, im from brooklyn originally and i remember the british and the playboys but yo, whats up with suede bally's? Anybody know where i can cop some at? holla back!!
MoMo - February 06, 2009 - Mark this comment as inappropriate
Ballys there was an article in the daily news I think about a store owner on 125th st. that could no longer sell ballys because the company's core clients didnt like the urban association. my coz loves his still keeps them. mostly Queens Blvd.
Allnat - February 06, 2009 - Mark this comment as inappropriate
MoMo, If you got flicks of the so called REAL ones then send them to Khadim LTD so they can see them and let us know if they are the ones responsible for the 80's version or not. That's how you can do your part.

What up? Man its gettin hot in here....Well one thing for sure somebody knows whats goin on Yo maybe the people in the city got a connect yall know its people in the city that can make anything, they do it all day maybe somebody boot legged the joints they boot legged everything else come on, all they need is a market then its on. Back to the beat, Now what made the people in India make a shoe so similiar in name and looks just like our joint from the 80s. I remember the joint we wore down here was called Britishers cuz I remember the tag but it wasn't leather and the slip-ons had the B in the front but I never seen a pair wit British Walker on them and we would ask why yall dudes up top called them that, but that did sound kinda slick. Now Look at it like this someone from back in the day who was affiliated with the first company in some way is puttin out the shoes, since the original owners are long gone and they know they aint gotta worry about being sued right? Yo its no coincidence so we gotta ask the lady,"yo who came up wit the design and the idea back in 2000?" Once again it makes no sense yo that they came out of the sky with this idea 20 years later with no ties to the 80s, somebody knows something and I think my theory is right on. Not that I'm Barnaby Jones or Barnaby Bones (Count Cool Out)LOL We know the high,the straps,the zip-ups the blue,burgundy,gray,green, black,white,creme,brown the two toned,burgundy & gray,blue & sky blue,all leather with the leather stripes across the foot the leather tassels was the slickest joints man and not to come back wit them...something aint right.Yo what I will do is ask the dude Mr Shoe same dude from the Nike Air revival and his homey where the people were from cuz in 81-84 they sold more Britishers than Nike Airs. I will also try to get old flicks but between movin around,givin em away and being in the penile most people cant find none although my cuz in BKLYN is gonna ask his old girl about some flicks we took in the city in 1983 like I said before we had em in 2005 I posted the pair on top of the sheepskin.Yo I saw a post on in the00s.com from a store in Newark called Ahmedinas I called then the dude said they got em the sista said she seen dudes wit the burgundy who saved them from back in the day so I'll reach out and touch her about some flicks cuz if I heard you right Nat, the lady wants pics so they can make the styles we want. Yo I dont care who makes them long as the leather is leather the suede is suede and the joints I described come back Im coppin, cuz yo,Volvo dont make Volvos no more ford does and I love the S-80 so guess what.........anyway yall we gotta get on the case and come up wit these flicks cuz like I said days ago people aint stupid they in business to make money and especially in tough times like these if people are willing to spend they ready! Peace everybody Nat get at me son, Dee
Allnat - February 07, 2009 - Mark this comment as inappropriate
Yo Mook, You are absolutely right. I got another email from Khadim's and she said she would wait on the flicks. And even if that company didn't make the ones from the 80's, they should be able to make them if they had pictures of them right. So stay busy on dem flicks mook, and I'm trying to get at some of my boy's from back in the day to see if they got any high school flicks when we was "Gear down". Check out the picture up top those are my british. They changed the picture and put mine up there.I posted them acouple of weeks ago after I copped them from Mike's As for that other cat MoMo, You know how the hatin' thang go but we gonna keep it going aight.Holla back. Peace. Allnat
mookeychase - February 07, 2009 - Mark this comment as inappropriate
A-nat,what it is baby? Yo I just thought about it we good cuz you talkin to the owner so even if we dont get no flicks you just tell em, yo we need blue,burgundy,gray,green,white, creme, the two toned then hit her wit the all leather joints tie ups and slip-ons. Then later on we can work on the gator the zip-ups high tops strap-ups and all the other joints. She said they never marketed it over here maybe somebody over there was pushing them under the table or somebody was in India, seen em over there and bought em back, then somebody made em over here cuz the similarities are too close same shoe different colors. But yo most importantly we communicating and Mikes is perfect cuz they got clientele yo give me that email address again I may have gotten it wrong but Imma sure hit her cuz I could be the link between them and B-more ya heard? Yo MoMo is wrong I rapped to dudes who got good memories like me and they sayin this is the same shoe it had Britishers on it back then not British Walkers I even called my p's in BKLYN they said the name was Britishers but yall called em BWs so maybe Mo is tryin to alert dudes so they wont get beat cuz I would hate to think he is hatin on the next mans grind, but the way we like this shoe I dont thibnk it matters who makes them WE WANT EM! Yo Nat hit me at mookeychase@verizon.net so we can get it together son and rap about some other stuff aight? dont forget I need that the address. Peace Troop

She is interested in whats goin on in India also the more the merrier. I think we gon be alright cuz they want this money. Peace Dee

MoMo, you are a joke. Why don't you form a class on what are originals and what aren't? I am sure lots of people would attend. The only problem would be if you wrote on the blackboard, no one would understand what you are writing. Why don't you enlighten us more, Professor MoMo??? There was a place here in DC called Gracie's but closed down cause the owner fled the country and they had British Walkers that said Original Britishers in them but I have to get up to NYC to check these out. Or maybe I will check out MoMo's class, but I might have to bring an interpreter with such gems as Don't be FOULed :). hahahahahahahahaha, its fooled fool! I ain't mad atcha.

Ayo, fella's the "british walkers" from back in the late seventies and eighties that we all love "DID NOT HAVE BRITISH WALKERS ON THE INSIDE OF THE SHOE"!!!! they had britishers on the inside and my memory is dead on word!! The slip ons that came back are the original and now we got to put in some work and get the leather tie ups, zip ups and the rest of the flavas!! So, mook is right yo, and i'm feeling you guys on this so, i'm gonna do my part on this end as well. I already e-mailed that lady at khadims ltd. life07 one i'm out!!

Ayo, for what it's worth chris is right and exact! believe it or not I just got an e-mail from dana dane the rapper responding to my question about "british walkers.' He said that the originals had britishers on the inside of the shoe. Confirming that kats in the hood started calling them british walkers. So, these shoes are the originals from back in the day! The only thing is when they relaunched them they also redesigned them as well.

Yo I tried to be diplomatic about the whole thing I dont like to go on dudes on the net cuz you dont get no points for that. But check it, I got a memory like an elephant yo I knew that the joints were called Britishers not British Walkers if you had em you should remember the tag on the side and the insole but MoMo you was in the six grade and your mother bought your joints It's old heads on here you aint hear Mr Gilmo talkin bout Paris underwear? I was in the 12th grade in 82 I did my own thing, they were "Britishers" B.K.A BW's to NY-NJ cats so you were wrong Mo especially for goin in that mans spot and accusing him of having fake Britishers whether in front of customers or not so if you a real dude you would at least call back and apologize to them Ps and tell em you got them mixed up son.Listen, in the early-mid 70s we had the beige suede Clarks but called them "easy walkers" thats just slang we put on clothes city to city.If you read all the post you saw a couple dudes from NY call them Britishers so next time do your homework Mo before you publicly slander somebodys business and slaughter their character. I had dudes who copped from Mikes e mailing me askin me to send them pics of mine and the ones at ahmedinas to see if their joints was fake and like I said everybody got the same ones man. Life I agree 100 I'm gettin at that lady a-day telling her about the flavors cuz I cant find no flics. But yo I be good if they just come out wit all leather tie-ups & tassels in solids Blue,Burgundy,Gray,Brown,Green,White all the flavs from the day,then we work on the zip-ups,high tops,strap-ups nah mean? It's hard to describe the leather bars stripes pleats what ever they were on the top of the foot but thats what made them so slick.Yo everybody get at them peeple and they aint got no choice but to bring em back hear me? Peace everybody, Dee

original british walkers had by galileo stamped inside.
life07 - February 12, 2009 - Mark this comment as inappropriate
Ayo, I never heard that one before! I remember the leather and suede tie ups had britishers on the lable that was located on the side of the shoe! As for galileo, I don't remember that son! yo, mook I remember back in the day they had a break dancing book out that had flicks of the b-boy fashion. I remember they had a really good pic of british walkers in the book! Thing is I don't recall which book it was. So yo, I'm gonna pick up a couple of em and check em out though. Like you said son there haven't been a shoe that was slicker than the british! I mean you had some serious contenders (play boys, wallabees and ballys). When we get this british walker thing straightened out we can work on the bally's son! Ayo, take care all full circle I'm out!!!!!!
mookeychase - February 12, 2009 - Mark this comment as inappropriate
Yo life that's what I'm talking bout yo get that book baby cuz I wanna see a nice leather tie-up burgundy & gray or all Navy pair yo for real! These ones we got now is good to be able to say yeah I got a couple pair but we know if we aint got the right colors and styles like the joints with the leather bars stripes or whatever they was on the top of the foot then we really aint got the heat son. They came out wit some aight ones but the blue suede & brown leather (I got a pair)they coulda kept them or made them all blue like the all black leather joints but I had to get em. When I came home in 99 dudes out here had the blue and the brown matter fact I seen my man today who had a gray pair I asked him he smiled and said oh you remember them huh? I said yeah yo who had em he couldn't remember he said he saw a homey 2 months wit a pair of gray he asked him about them and the dude dummied up. I told him what we tryina do on here he said what all old heads say yo let me know I'm ready. I e-mailed that broad again today 3rd time this week no answer. Today I told her yo either yall gon make em or somebody else gon make a shoe just like it wit the flavors and styles we want or somebody might bootleg a few hundred good pair somebody gon get this money baby so I dont care who make em Original Brithisers or not if a good quality shoe comes out I'm hopping on it. Yo capps the old jimmys had Britishers by Palladio on them son not galileo. If you read the e-mail she sent All nat it makes you think somebody else owned the company in the 80s cuz when I googled it first I saw Original Britisher by Palladio was DNM LLC in jersey I looked a Lil deeper then it revealed this company Khadims so they came from Jersey in the 80s after that India. Well they better get the colors right or they will lose more money that's why they discontinued them my man manage the store that had em he said they aint do well cuz dudes aint like the colors except the all black leather. Yo you can hit me at mookeychase@live.com cuz I hate taking up so much space you know? Peace my Mellow

yo, thanks mookeychase your right its palladio i knew it was something like that im from brooklyn i used to eat and sleep britishers i almost bought some at mikes shoe plaza back in september 08 they dont look to right. Nothing like those back in the days styles im going retro already this year igot some of those bang bang playboys by gbx they are ok.peace out.

Yo capps,the joints Mike got are the same joints everybody got from the pics I saw.Maybe its the styles like I said the blue suede & brown leather joints they made in 2005 they coulda kept them, but something about Britishers man I had to get em,then 2 weeks later I got the beige suede & brown leather. The ones out now look different cuz they are different no flavors no two tone even solid leather would do for me long as they got once again "the tie-up & tassels wit the leather stripes". I eat sleep them now cuz I cant wait till we get them colors jumpin off son for real they shoulda never left us then now since the baggy look of the 90s is gone dudes wearin pants that fit so they really needed now right now! Yo just to see a slick pair of green & beige tie-ups w/ stripes, I'd probably stare at the pic for 15 min LOL. Yo they just bring back so many memories when our dress code was distinct and fly man, young ni66a runnin wild in the 80s livin it up word! Peace, 80s

Yoooooo! I found the shoe we used to wear! wit the pleats I be tryin to describe to yall, well I found it. Yesterday my man Life07 gave me a site samsungamerica.com I went to it ka-boom there it was yall it was creme tie-up wit tassels w/ tha pleats. Now the shoe on the page is called "Britisher" which is the name on the shoes of the 80s I remember that clearly, not Original Britishers but plain Britisher yo word on my momma this is it.These are the Palladio joints I guess cuz just think why the Original Britishers never came out wit this shoe I think the owners split and had to share the name and the people at Khadmis(f*&k them)put Original and added the "s" or like I said somebody coulda seen em and bought the style over here at any rate yall this is the shoe only now, samsung america owns it so here is the number, yo we gotta blow their phones up a-day so they will know we serious I already called Mike and ahMEDinas and I called the people and asked the lady do yall still make the shoe or what? she said yeah lemme transfer you to the guy who sells them, came back and said you got a business I said "yeah I work for Mikes and ahMEDinas and my job is to find that exact shoe yall got on that site" she took the numbers and I said look we wore this shoe in the 80s and we want it back yall dont know the demand for this shoe. She said they dont know Khadims which adds more questions to who da f@#k are these people in India? Well heres the number yall blow it up they are more interested in talking to businesses but still who do they sell to,thats right us so when we call that will let them know a market is out there.Phone # iz 201-621-0445 e-mail iz info@samsungamerica.com I e-mailed em last nite dont call the NY number thats the wrong number and these people dont care to talk if they dont work in that department so lets get it poppin yall go to the site and look at the shoe tell me if that aint the shoe I been talkin about. This should be it I dont think they delt wit nobody who served us but if they act right they gon make some loot!So yo let your local hood store know the old joints are back and give em the info cuz we bout ta turn them on to a whole new market word. Peace 80s heads Dee

Yo Im here to report that I just talked to the old dude from the Britisher he said they are the old skool Palladio people, well he is just that samsung bought them so he still markets them and I rapped to him for about 20 min to find out he does business wit Mikes so MoMo you're dead wrong they are the authentic joints. Anyway they decided to come out wit the "updated" joints which led to them colors we didnt want. Mostly and sadly they didnt come out wit that model on the samsung page it it called the "Royal" damn son thats the one I wanted so bad yo I mean damn I would take any of them but like I told him the most frequent complaint or concern / issue is the color man. Yo they say if its broke dont fix it so why in the h3ll would they not bring back flavors? It was a time when only NY was known for rockin colors but now in this video age it is world wide. Imma call the old dude again and ask him whats the likely hood of them makin more in the 80s colors since he was there he knows exactly what sold yo so now this it whateva Mike dont get by the way Mike is his biggest customer we talked about Mike he said "who the guy on 36th & 8th avenue? Yeah, he got half my inventory in his warehouse" or ahMEDina dont get we wont get cause of course you cant cop without a tax ID #.So fellow old heads just have solace in this, the real shoe is the one we got and aint no flavors out there so we did our best. But still Mike and the old guy are the corner stone all Mike gotta do is tell the old guy "yo go tell em to get me dem flavas for my customers" and the old guy tell his people and we'll see what happens. Yo Im still mad to know the whole time the shoe(royal) was out there and nobody got em that means the company suggested to the stores what to buy but an old skoola woulda got tha right ones so we'll see what Marc and them do aight crew. Peace Dee

Yo Mookeychase I'm sorry to inform you but they were Call The original britishers by Pallado because Tom McCann Had a knock off of the shoe but the packaging is still the same The clear bag followed by the cloth bag and the box with the name threw out the in side. the styles we are seeing are the last styles they drop before the disappeared some time in the mid 80's. I can think of @ lease 15 - 20 styles that they had the new co. must don't have the oringinal patterns. Peace one love & much luck to us all in our common quest.

I know British Walker wasnt on none of em.Its kinda confusing 27-28,(damn dats a long time) years later what it is is that two companies have rights to them khadims and samsung america neither one of em are aware of the other but the old dude told me yesterday it was the same shoe but after he went to my home girls store he said he never seen that shoe on the samsung america page he said it was the "royal" then he said the royal was the high top but yo tell me if you remember this shoe wit the lines on it I coulda swore I saw yall rockin em up top back in 83 man. Anyway I got good news I talked to the dude Young for 20 mins today we rapped he said as of now they have no plans to come out "right now" but that dont mean ever. So while we talked I sent him to the site he read all the post he said he got a few calls I know Life07 called but I told him to notice everybody is sayin what their fav color or style is/was so that is real important,I also told him no new buyers are gonna get this shoe same people from the 80s so why not give us what we bought then. So he said he was gonna tell his bosses that "he sees a passion" for this shoe then I sent him to inthe00s.com they got 4 pages, he can make it happen he runs the foot wear dept. He told me to call back and check the status he was a real kool dude man I think we gon work it out cuz he knows they sold all the new ones to us so all we can do is buy the old ones. He knows there is a market for in NYC-NJ alone how bout Philly Bmore DC Virginia so its lookin good right now for them to go on another run wit the old styles and flavas. You rite J there was at least 12-13 different styles I just told him to stretch out the colors. see, this shoe you can never have enuff cuz if you get the blue leather slip-ons then you gotta get the blue suede tie-ups vice versa then you gotta get the gray then you gotta have the burgundy ya know? So thats what it is yall, I told yall I aint gon stop till we get it poppin. Thanx to a-body who called or emailed but still call and give your input aight. PEACE My peoples Dee

Your right aslo and remember a lot of people from NY & NJ have spread out if we can get this poppin again not only for the one who moved out of the tri-State area. Maybe some young heads might want some too. I had a pair one morning and a young dude ran across the park just to ask me where can he get this shoe some young heads got a little styles maybe from there parents or something. I called that number also and he told pretty much the same I hope he was serious. Peace!

What Moo? I do remember those I saw it in all navy. I wasn't to crazy about it not saying that I won't cop dat just to have. The last time I was @ Mike's I coped the crown Ice & dark brown & beige $50 he had a pair that was brown w/ navy blue stripe I soould have got it anyway. maybe they should let us help them redesign the shoe anyway since we seem to know more about the way they should look. I always thought white leather & black suede stripe or red would be SO HOT and the tassele in the front in place of the B. yeah we should get a convention going I'm down. One love.
