So... I finally got some new sneakers. I had to put aside my Adidas and Puma mentality and cop a pair of Nikes. These are by no means the freshest kicks on the planet, but they work for me for right now.
Some people might say they are boring cause they are a simple white-black-gray colorway. But for real, I think they look better than a lot of sneakers out right now.Truthfully, I've always loved sneakers. Most people wouldn't realize that because i keep it really simple, such as shelltoes or Romas, but there is alway a little twist to make them different than the average. Like white/white shells instead of white with black stripes, or a little perforation... the point is that it is more the details that impress me than the overall impact. I'll buy some freshtodeath sneakers when I find a pair that actually impresses me.
See I hate that sneakers have become very pop culture. It used to be a more underground world of people who appreciate the design aspects of it. Now you have all these people who two years ago wouldn't have bought anything more than K-Swiss trying to rock a fresh limited edition pair of Jordans. And if you ask them who Tinker Hatfield is, they look at you like you just asked them to explain how a jet engine works. I hate following the crowd, so you won't really catch me doing what others do. Just because having fly kicks is whats hot right now doesn't mean that I'm going to listen. So I will keep it real basic for now until the day comes that I decide it is time for me to be a little more flashy. And hopefully by then all the toys will move on to some other trend.
