Speaking of strange pickups...check out this one. Yes, ONE. I copped a *single* LEFT shoe (bag) a few weeks back from my spot @thecavestores for $45. Couldn't pass it up, even though I know it's largely useless (beyond just looking and marveling at). It actually kinda reminds me of that sports illustrated shoe phone from the early 90's (that I also had and never actually used).
It's called the 'Way of Wade IX "Paper Bag"', even though it's not paper (it's Tyvek).
Li-Ning and a bunch of these Way of Wade concept shoes are pretty cool...in a completely extemporaneous sort of way. I know I talked a lot of sh*t about that CPFM hairball shoe and these aren't all that far off...
Y'all ever see something like this?
