A Pfoho Pfavorite: PF Flyers

Piggybacking on the coincidence that a footwear company’s acronym is also the first two letters of its name, Pforzheimer House is organizing a group order of PF Flyers, which it's billing as the "the official Pfoho shoe."

The shoes, which are half-off for Pfoho residents, are essentially regular high-top Converses—except, instead of the Converse star, there’s a label that says, “PF Flyers.”

The shoe, which is available in black and red, even has a nice green “PF” label on the lower back of the shoe.

Popular through the 1960s and 1970s and previously owned by Converse and New Balance, PF Flyers were featured in the movie “The Sandlot," when Benny puts on the shoe to “run faster and jump higher” to avoid a neighborhood dog that has his Babe Ruth-autographed baseball.

So will the PF Flyers help Pfoho residents run more quickly from the Quad to that class in Sever? Only time will tell.
