I know this is probably a repeat topic, but I'm very interested in his footwear, especially on stage.
I know he wore Adidas Hercules for a while, and there's a photo of him from the very early 80's wearing what looks to be blue Sambas (he had on leather pants if this narrows it down)
What other shoes did he wear? The Crazy Little Thing Called Love video appears to be Asics, but I'm not sure.
Thank you!
Great, thanks so much for your kind words. This is why I was afraid to post.

You're right, those were the Asics Tiger Wrestling Shoes :).
He also wore Nike Greco during the Hot Space Tour.
There are some old posts about Freddie's shoes, but I personally can't find which shoes he wore in the Back Chat video (white boots with red arrows), maybe they were made especially just for that.
-Adidas Hercules indeed
-Nike Greco wrestling shoes http://www.arkamix.com/vintage-nike/wrestling/nike-greco-wrestling-1972-979
-Asics Tiger wrestling shoes
Some people say he wore boxing shoes. That's not true. It's always been wrestling shoes. Thin sole. Medium high top. Boxing shoes are much different.

I’ve also seen pics of him wearing Chuck Taylors, he had a pair on with the pink suit in the Great Pretender video.

You're right! I've seen some pics from Japan 1982 backstage, and he's also wearing converse.
Adidas Hercules, fantastic boot wish they still made them.
(that picture was from SIS in 2011 BTW)
