Iconic California Style Underfoot

In case you haven't heard, life in '60s California was pretty good.

(Better luck next time to The Mamas and the Papas.) Each style is known by a four-digit month/date formulation coinciding with a related banner event—the canvas slip-on 05/66s take their inspiration from the debut of Wilson's Pet Sounds, and the retro canvas 10/68s refer to the premiere date of Bullitt.
