Retro Sneakers

Feeling nostalgic

 

When my mom was cleaning out her apartment, she found a couple of pair of my old sneakers, including my blue and black Jordans and my Avia 870s. I can't believe how much I spent on sneakers when I had no money.

 

Black Nike Cortez
In fact I'm wearing them right now, not something I do often at work.

 

In the seventh grade, I had a pair of red All-Stars and high-water pants. I never got made fun of for my sartorial constants.

 

Love the Clydes. Love the Gazelles. Love the classic Lavers.

 

This is my biggest indulgence (and which raises my wife's ire). I LOVE retros, I get so nostalgic (go great with my 70's tunes; yeah I enjoyed my youth.)

Currently, jeans were okay'd for every day in the office, so I've got:

clean Stan Smiths for the office;
Rod Lavers, and retro Nike Airmax 93s for the weekend;

Just ordered some retro Converse One Stars (fuzzy suede) for the winter.

Also in back of closet are blue suede Gazelles and green Clydes (scuffed and dirty).

Thanks for sharing.

 

No mention of Air Force 1s?

For shame ... (full disclosure: I own a few pairs.)

 

I had blue suede Clydes when I was in high school -- back when Clyde was still playing.

 

Am I crazy or did the blue suede Clydes have the orange Puma stripe. Knicks colors.

 

They might have sold some like that. Mine had a white stripe.

 

Any female I see in Chuck Taylors loses two points of attractiveness to me.

An 8 becomes a 6; a 6 becomes a 4, etc.
