At the risk of death - if I told you to pick one pair of shoes to wear for the rest of your life - no deviation - what would you choose? Would it be more a choice of fashion or would it be more a choice over function? It’d probably be a pair of shoes you’ve owned before. If it’s function, I think, maybe, you’re not in as deep as you could be. Or maybe you’re not using sneakers as a crutch. If it’s fashion…I’d argue…you’re probably still stuck on the year that you first got ‘em. Heard this Seinfeld quote the other day that had me cracking up…he said something along the lines of ‘You dress as your last great year’ and I felt that. Although I try to update with the times, there is a part of me that has no interest whatsoever in trying new brands. Thankfully, that part doesn’t come out much, because, even though I love my ‘tried and trues’ I also, do love a newcomer every once in a while. If you asked me what my all time favorite shoe is…I’d give you a short list of shoes that give me some great memories but they’re shoes I no longer have any interest in wearing: Jordan 6’s, Air Raids, Penny II’s, Jordan 12’s. This wasn’t always the case - I used to fiend for these shoes until I got them. And then when I had them, I thought…’why do I need these again?’ So for that, I’m kinda happy to recognize that the past is the past, but I can move on. But that thought - ‘your last great year’ - It had me thinking more and more about the psychological aspect of our sneaker fandom. It’s certainly introspective, tho, an interesting thought. And I get what he’s saying. But so for me: either Jerry’s wrong or I still dress like my best years are ahead of me… Do you ever consider how you dress and what you choose to wear? Does it go deeper than comfort or aesthetics and more to what you choose to identify with?
