I remember hearing about Docs first in the late 70s/early 80s as part of British punk and streetwear, then seeing them pioneered as fashion items (along with other heavy black men's shoes) in the mid-80s in the work of UK stylist Ray Petri and his Buffalo group for magazines like The Face, and then seeing them peak in actual mainstream popularity in the early 90s, when I actually tried a pair. My feet weren't made for them (I have weird feet), but a lot of people said they were really comfortable. My favorite pair was a friend's black cherry knee-high laceups in ca. 1990.
