Why I Love Sneakers #14

20130511-091609.jpgThe Random Connections To People Through The Nostalgia Of Sneakers.

A few weeks back, I wore the Black/Metallic Jordan V’s to work. Keep in mind that I work in an industry where sneaker enthusiasts are few and far between. In fact, @StacksJohnson might be the only other one cut from the same “Eat Good. Stay Fresh.” cloth. But while in the office, a random, older co-worker approached me with wide eyes and said, “Hey, I know what shoes those are! I had the purple and teal ones when I was a kid!” And we had a long conversation about the history of the V’s and Michael Jordan. Crazy. I would never have thought this person could comprehend my love for sneakers, but for that brief moment, for that particular sneaker, he understood. Times like that remind me of why I love sneakers. The nostalgia. The people. The history. The relationships.

Why do you?

Roshe Run to Hit Nike iD

20130407-102940.jpg
As of late, I have officially jumped on the Roshe Run bandwagon. Ever since the first day of putting a pair on my feet, I have been preaching to anyone and everyone about how comfortable they are. Trying to convert people like I was a Roshe Run missionary. They immediately sent my Koston’s to the bottom of the beater pile and have turned into my go-to sneaker for everyday wear. I constantly find myself trying to find reasons NOT to wear them just so I can give my other shoes some love. And now, on April 8th all Roshe Run enthusiasts will have the opportunity to personalize them on Nike iD. I can’t wait. And if you haven’t yet, do your feet a favor and get a pair. Trust.

Eat Good. Stay Fresh. Team Roshe.
