Help with Made in W.Germany Rom's.....
#1

Managed to pick these up recently:

On the inside are stamped 3 numbers: 832, 8.5 and 131. I'm guessing that 8.5 is the shoe size, can anyone help with the meaning of the other 2 numbers?

my UK12's are JP 305 and the UK11.5's are JP 300

so based on that theory, a UK8.5 would be 270..

hmm

eenone of the numbers match up on there..

so apart from the number off the production line, and maybe the length in cm? inches?

Just wondering, could 832 be the year and month it was made as in the 2nd month (February) of 1983?

Not sure on dating older kicks, I know the more modern adidas has a month and year seperated with a line so like 11/95 or whatever.

Have you got aphoto of the label?

Wishing it was like the old days again

Here's a pic of the numbers stamped inside the shoe. Not too sure if it's clear or not, kinda tough to take pictures of it...
