Handbags gucci dior

I love sneakers. So sue me. Some people like art, some like food. I love sneakers.

I really can’t remember when handbags gucci dior this love affair started. The farthest I could think of would’ve been ’88. Yeah, I was about 9 years old, kicking footballs and handbags gucci dior asses at such a young age. I must say, the handbags gucci dior love started with a guy named Michael. The shaved head, the baggy shorts (not so baggy now, but they were back in the day), and handbags gucci dior the white on cement Jordan IIIs. Those Js just looked nice. They looked real different, really un-basketball like. It really helped that handbags gucci dior Jordan was dunking on everyone that we all got a handbags gucci dior good view of the pair he was sporting. Not only did Michael Jordan change the handbags gucci dior game we all know and love, but he definitely shook the handbags gucci dior sneaker game.


I must admit, I never owned a pair of Jordan IIIs. In fact, I’ve never owned a handbags gucci dior pair of Air Jordans. Jordan Teams, Jumpman Pro Quicks, yes, but never Jordans. My parents taught me a handbags gucci dior great deal about the value of things, and Jordans were just way over the handbags gucci dior budget. But if our friends from Nike would drop me a handbags gucci dior pair, who am I to complain, right?

just like mike
Jordan started it handbags gucci dior all. In fact, Jordan made me even change the sport I loved. I used to handbags gucci dior play football more than basketball. But attempting to play like MJ– the tongue wagging, the shorts, the armband (or the wristband you placed there just to get a look close to his), and even the way you jumped. I never completed the Jordan Look. I would borrow my friend’s pair though so that handbags gucci dior I could look like the poster on my wall. Pathetic, I know.

I can’t even remember if they sold Jordans here. All they had handbags gucci dior were Grosbys, World Balances,and Mighty Kids. Brands like Nike, adidas, and handbags gucci dior Converse were hard to come by. I’d get adidas for handbags gucci dior football and World Balance for basketball. In school, the guys who handbags gucci dior had the freshest pairs were the handbags gucci dior ones that went to the US for summer vacation. They were the handbags gucci dior ones who had the Jordans, Barkleys and ‘Boks. The only other way you handbags gucci dior could cop a pair was from Cash & Carry. And they didn’t come cheap.

I took my first trip back to handbags gucci dior the US when I was 11.By this time, I made it handbags gucci dior a point to come home with something different- something so fresh that handbags gucci dior my friends would say “What the hell are those?” or “Nice Shoes!”. We had handbags gucci dior a layover in Korea and got two pairs then- an Air Trainer and handbags gucci dior Air Flights (I think these were David Robinson’s first pair- or looked like them at least). By the time school started, I got what I wanted.

high school high
By high school, the game changed once again. Sneaker endorsements were all over the place- Barkley had the prada leopard bag CBs, Reebok came out with Shaq’ Shaq Attaqs and Kemp’s Kamikazes, LJ and KJ had their Converse joints, heck, even Dikembe Mutombo had handbags gucci dior his own signature pair of adis. Grant Hill and Fila were cool back then handbags gucci dior too. Owning a unique pair gave that handbags gucci dior high only some other substance could achieve. By the end of high school, I was sporting Sambas, Questras and handbags gucci dior Ratballs (Jalen Rose mids from adidas) and life was all fine and dandy.

higher (sneaker) education
My sneaker closet was slowly growing. The game exposed me to handbags gucci dior a couple of great pairs- Nike had the handbags gucci dior Shox, Prestos and Team Jordans. Adidas had the EQTs and the handbags gucci dior Feet You Wear line, sported by the “next next MJ”. Pumas were making a handbags gucci dior comeback and I made sure I had a pair no handbags gucci dior one had. Sneakers now were more than just sneakers. I would now research countless hours on the handbags gucci dior net (simply because it took forever to surf with a 28.8 kbps dialup) for handbags gucci dior that next pair. I slowly learned that there was more to handbags gucci dior being unique. From the inspirations of designers to special editions for handbags gucci dior special occasions, sneakers were a guy’s best accessory. Girls had handbags gucci dior bags, bracelets, and what have you. Guys had sneakers.

sneaker fiending and then some
Six years out of college and handbags gucci dior working, my taste has definitely changed. The game has gone to handbags gucci dior lifestyle. Retro’s back but better. Pumas, Onitsukas, Originals, and handbags gucci dior a whole slew of others are now coming up with new colorways and handbags gucci dior collections. The Skateboarding scene’s stronger than handbags gucci dior ever with Gravis, SB, and Vans. Regular releases aren’t enough- it’s got to be something special. Now it’s got to handbags gucci dior be a totally different colorway, a store exclusive, a special edition. I’ve cleaned up shop and down to about 40+ pairs. Imelda’s got thousands more, but I believe my sleds are handbags gucci dior worth a look every time out.

So why do I love sneakers? You tell me. It’s more than handbags gucci dior just owning a special pair. It grows more and more with every new box I open. From the handbags gucci dior first time you get a whiff of a fresh pair, the handbags gucci dior first time you lace them up, the first time you step out of the handbags gucci dior house, and the first time people check you out from the handbags gucci dior floor up. It gives me this warm feeling all over knowing you handbags gucci dior look good wearing what you’re wearing. Shallow maybe, but it’s love just the same.

Now this handbags gucci dior blog is all about sneakers. From store releases, special drops, and handbags gucci dior whatnot. Feel free to talk shop. Feel free to take a handbags gucci dior look. Feel free to listen to the confessions of a sneaker fiend.
