The North Star running shoe, a big hit for Bata in the 1970s, They were found on the feet of high school students across Canada.

But then North Star shoes seemed to disappear in the marketing frenzy of brands such as Nike and Reebok.

And what do I find looking around the new Big Box Outlet Store. The classic shoe is back. I wonder if nostalgia buffs will clear out all of the stock.
