Air Jordans.. How far we've come..
« on: December 23, 2011, 01:09:04 PM »
I remember 25 years ago when kids were killing each other over shoes, typically endorsed by Michael Jordan.
My, but how far we've come...

You know, I've never seen this when the new model of Sperry Topsiders or Tony Llama boots comes out. Odd, that. Just sayin'.  ::)

Well, first they make many models of Topsiders but only the Authentic Original's are worth fighting for.   Several years ago, Kohl's had a sale on AO's and I was there with an entourage of body guards several hours before opening.   I bought every pair they had in my size.  (all 4)  Fortunately, it appeared the rest of the world had elected to sleep in that morning or it could have gotten ugly.

And in fairness, its whitefolks that fight over X boxes and the like. Still and all, you'd think folks wouldn't want to go out of their way to feed a stereotype.

The crazy part of this is that, as a shoe maker, I find Nike quality to be poor to average.  I won't buy them anymore because of their quality issues.

Sadly, only New Balance makes sneakers here anymore and they're way over 100 bucks a pair.  I still prefer them to any other though!
