Fred Perry – the greatest British tennis player of all time – wore Green Flash plimsoles to win Wimbledon three times running, in 1934, ’35 and ’36.
The Green Flash is a classic design that has stood the test of time. Its distinctive grass-green emblem is etched on the collective memory of school days. Our sentimental love for the shoe probably stems from the fact that Fred was the last British man to win the Wimbledon title, until Andy Murray in 2013. Green Flash is certainly as English as Wimbledon on a rainy summer afternoon, but that’s probably because they were on the right pair of feet at the right time. Dunlop has re-launched the Green Flash Classic 1555, as worn by Fred Perry, in the hope of making them a must-have fashion item – and it looks as if they have succeeded.
Anyone born in this country between 1960 and 1974 will probably have worn or wanted to wear Green Flash at school (anything would have been better than Woolworth’s plimsoles with the little elasticated bit). Ben Nevis Clothing have been supplying Green Flash to the public and school kids since the 60’s and still stock them to this day with loads of other classic heritage clothing and footwear.

Hi David,

We wish we had more of this iconic trainer.
Many Thanks,

Can you tell me who and where they were manufactured please?
Do you have ladies size 5 in stock
Can you please tell Dumlop they’re missing out on a MASSIVE market on these! Can’t believe they’ve stopped making them! absolutely bonkers!
We can’t believe this either…
We can only hope that one day someone can re-make them as they’re truly iconic.
looking for size 10 men’s.
Is there any hope for these to be continued again? There is nothing similar out there
Hi Sally, Thank you for your message. Unfortunately there is still no sign of them coming back. Nothing is ever the same as the Classic’s.
I’d give my mates right arm for a pair of green flash & I’m staggered no one has got a factory up & running, Every one wants a pair!, even my Dog.
I’ve also been looking for these – I heard Philip Green bought the arm of Dunlop that made them just before the pensions debarcle and then it all went quiet. I can’t find them anywhere but I wore only blue and greens for about a decade and I’ve been balefully stabbing around paying way more cash ever since. I’d love for them to be made again.
since the 60’s and still stock them to this day ” please bring them back !
hi do you have these in size 11 men’s?
thanks
I’m desperate for a pair of GF men’s size 8, there’s plenty of photos of them They’re the Fred Perry polo shirt of trainers, just cool.
Do you still have a pair of Green Flash in size 3 by any chance???? Used to wear them all the time years ago.
Hi, Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately not, this is a lost icon.
