The Sony Sports Walkman, introduced in 1982, is a blatant fashion statement quite different from the earlier classic version. With wires dangling and lights flashing, it functions like high tech jewellery.
The look is youthful, active and fit. It implies the integration of exercise clothing and fashionable dress over the past decade.
