Fascinating.

Those in the pics are type 2's.
The original was a firmer leather, unpadded tongue and ankle, and the stitching only went around the front half of the sole.
I see rec players still wearing these and they are the classic tennis shoe.
Haillet was of course the original, but they became Stan Smiths after his Wimbledon win I believe. Many players wore these in the early 70's, including a certain young Swede.

Which reminds me of the name of one of *my* earliest rackets:

Preceded only by the hand-me-down Wilson Chris Evert model and then a brand new Kramer.

She did not. My first case came a few years later after reading Pancho Segura's book, which caused me to try to learn a sidespin forehand. I hit it with a straight elbow. Worked pretty well, but the elbow said "no". Don't recall which racket I was using at the time.
