Today i purchased a pair of tennis shoes. The last time i did this was probably 1999. You see, i don't often have a need to run or to move excitedly about. A nice pair of casual shoes is capable of getting me from place to place.
I had a hard time find exactly what i wanted. Now, most athletic shoes are so ornate or come with a switches and leavers. I didn't wan to have to read directions to figure out how to put the shoe on. I just wanted a simple pair with just a bit of flair. I finally found some Nike's that met my requirements. The best part? They were on sale.
Boy do they look new. They are gleaming white which is a great contrasts to my old pair whose original color i'm unable to determine without the help of forensic science. The aglets are crisp and intact; the vamp is tightly laced; and the insole is thickly cushioned. When i wear them, it's like i'm walking on a fat guy's ass. These shoes have put an extra spring in my step.
