    Maybe I didn't live in a big enough city, but I don't remember seeing a cellular phone that wasn't car-mounted until a few years later. I'm sure they were out there (there was a movie with the portable phone bit) but they weren't really on the zeitgeist if I recall correctly. And as far as forest creatures go, it was around this time that wide spread collaring of animals was happening so maybe actually more forest critters had cellular devices! If they worked that way.

    Short answer: I don't know. But before stuff becomes classic it starts off being old, and traditionally you market new stuff to a younger generation by differentiating it from old stuff. Another layer might be how Bauhaus's tasteful minimalism is pretty much the opposite style to the shoes. Whether old architecture styles were widely known at the time, or it was just the writer's whim, is another "honestly, who knows?"
