Kicker shoes were responsible for so many arguments in shoe shops with my mother when I was a small kid. They made your legs look like tree trunks but every cool girl wanted them, if you didn't have the rubber tag hanging off your school footwear you might as well have stayed at home. Jarvis Cocker is clearly a cool kid then. He does well on the lack of tree trunk legs, though I'd pay to see him wearing them at the same time as a school skirt with the waistband rolled up.
