Ever see a guy say goodbye to a shoe?
…suprisingly, they’re not really stinky… Just worn to the nub.
I purchased these bad boys in 2000 in NYC… it was a flourishing time back then, my friends…the Roaring Zaps, they were called. A pre-911 world was prospering…money was falling from the sky and everyone could afford a mansion in the Carribbean, a gas-sucking Lexus SUV and a hybrid was something you’d only hear a melon farmer talk about. And SHOES WERE ALL THE RAGE!!! EVERYone was wearing shoes!!
“Why what’s that you got there, sonny?”, the old man would say inching down the street in his knitted socks and the young boy full of viv would shout back, “Why that’s shoes, sir! Shoes I tell ya. I got myself some shoes!” The old man would scratch his head confused.. “Well, you young kids sure ahhr crazy with your crazy ways.”
“Generation S“, they called them — that’s right — the SHOE generation..everyone was wearing SHOES SHOES SHOES!
You could walk down the street and you’d see at least 2 or 3 stores with nothing but SHOES IN THE WINDOWS!!!!
Some stores would even advertise 25% or 50% off the sale price of shoes!
Yes, friends… the age of shoes…To replace these antiques are a fresh, new, semi-urban-yuppie-cracker, “Generation M” pair of Adidas…damn they’re comfortable.
I had to throw these relics out after the inner shell started to crack and stab my heal. Otherwise, I probably would’ve worn them for another few booming years in history.
