“Shoes are the new Geri curl, dude” - Ben

Boy is my boy Ben right.  I’ve become a poser sneakerhead this year.  I’m not really sure how it happened.  I was about as interested in shoes as a 4th grader is in girls.  I must have hit my metaphorical Jr. High phase in shoe life.

I mean, I do have my share of functional shoes, but here I go, getting all aesthetic.  It started again recently with the Nike Low’s I fell in love with at Undefeated, which I just Yelped.  It was like attempting to walk by a pet store window, with puppies calling your name in their native pup language.  The precious little kicks stared at me with their unconditional wittle woving shoelace eyes.  I mean look at them:

How can you say no to those suede details and red trim?  So I took the Nike Low’s home.  Regret set in quickly, but not buyers remorse.  I had separated the shoes from the rest of his lil Nike litter.  How could I break a family apart like that?  I had to go back and rescue his brother, Nike Dunks CL:

The family is now complete.  Although… I look forward to picking up the cousins, once co-podcaster Mellemusic’s brother is done designing his DC shoes.  I shoulda gone for the Geri Curl.  They’re so much cheaper.
