Slumber Party Weekend
The Mrs and I had the chance to spend the entire weekend at the bro in laws place waiting on the pregnant lady to pop... but more importantly we got to lounge with the super cool neice all weekend... she is def the coolest person I know and is pretty darn cute to boot... we all ventured out of doors on Saturday to take advantage of the weather and walked down to Time Warner to have lunch at Whole Foods.. then we made our way for a little shopping to get our retail fix.. the wife scored a new bag, new sweater and a new pair of shoes.. me on the other hand.. copped a pair of AF1's... my first.. well except for my pair of fake-o's.. speaking of which.. I sported my fake o Pigeon Dunks and went shopping in them.. and lo and behold.. two people walked up to me and commented about my kicks.. first was a sales guy at Tip Top shoes... "Pigeons?.. those are tight"...middle age white guy, not some punk hipster skater .. ok weird... then at the wife's shoe store a girl just walked up to me while I was sitting there waiting for the wife and said " you are really brave to wear those out... they look mint and crispy.. if you are wearing those.. clearly you understand shoe shopping.."... I really didn't have the heart to tell her that they cost me 40 bucks and were made in some knock off factory in China.. when real ones fetch 2,500 bones at Flight Club... but the girl used to work at Nike ID Lab.. so she is in the biz, she asked me if I had ever been and I told her I am going there for my b day in June..... needless to say.. I don't think I will ever be able to wear the Pigeons again, can't take the attention with knock off kicks... sad, cuz they are super comfortable...but for now.. scope the newest kicks...
Tan suede with university blue....XXV editions....
Two more pairs (Old School Bo Jackson trainers from way back in the 90's) on the way from pickyourshoes.com.. can't wait.. they should be arriving the same day as my offer letter... schweet....
ohh....Air Trainer One with the baby blue accent...
ahhh....the Air Trainer One SB Bamboo edition....don't know if I will ever wear these..
shoes here.. now just waiting on the offer letter....
and now it's really over.... no more contracting by the hour... now playtime is really over... a job that I have to take seriously... but at least now I can waste my money on sneakers and not feel guilty...
