British KnightsMetros Men's Oxford Sneaker

Was a gift for my husband. These were our high school name brand shoes. He absolutely loved them

There nice

Just tried these on and they fit WONDERFULLY!! My first pair of BK's at 54 and I love them!! True to size!

Comfortable and fits well, box was a bit banged up but overall fine

There's nothing to think over, just order a pair. I imagine most young heads don't understand what a huge deal BKs were back in the day. When other sneaker companies were focused on athletic use, British Knights made it about style. You'd see them in music videos. When the Metros dropped around 85/86, the only other brand that came close in popularity was TROOP (and maybe Ballys or Filas). Jordan 1s were out in 86, but so expensive that no one in my neighborhood dared to wear them. They were so pricey, you had to be careful walking through your neighborhood, or waiting at a bus stop with them on. BKs were IT. The Metro especially (the black and white, or black with the concrete). By the late 90's, nobody even talked about BKs anymore, though.Fast forward to 2014, BK starts releasing classic throwback designs. I honestly had no idea until recently that the Metro was even available. No hesitation, ordered a pair (which amazingly were priced down to thirty bucks on sale). Showed up at my door in just a couple of days. They look exactly as I remembered. The fit is PERFECT, about as true to size as you could want for new kicks. But then came the best part....We relocated out to the sticks, but I'm a city kid. I knew that no one would recognize them out in the boonies. But when I wore them in the city, I couldn't believe how many comments and questions I got about them. Old heads will recognize them in a heartbeat. Younger guys didn't know the brand, but would ask me what they were, because they liked the design. For me, it was like stepping foot in a time machine. To a much better time. I've never been into coke-white AF1s, wild looking high-tops. This is what I like, and these are perfect. I just could not be happier having bought these, and I'll be ordering more styles soon. Would also make a great gift for any old-school sneaker head.

👍

Not quite as black as I thought it was. More of a very dark gray.

Takes me back to the 80s. Still a comfortable shoe to this day love my BKs
