"Run faster, jump higher, (kick farther?)" was a Keds or PF Flyers slogan.

Do they still make Red Ball Jets? The ones that make you run faster and jump higher?

Buster Brown is still alive as a brand name, but the parent company is long gone. The brand is owned by Caleres, whoever they are.

would take me shopping every year to get a new pair for the summer until I was 12, 13?

Now, I could.
Those animal print ones are adorable.

All she ever wore were white Keds. She was able to make them look sexy. Take my word for it.
