New Shoes Day
My new shoes came in the mail today. I buy new shoes twice a year, typically around winter and then again in summer. Christmas and Back-To-School sales make it easy.
This year I decided to buy my shoes early. I have been wearing a pair of black Adidas Sambas since last fall. They have been just fine but I wanted a pair of lighter white shoes for the summer. Normally I buy a new copy of old skool Vans after wearing the previous years pair into the ground.
But, this summer I'm going to start lifting again, so I wanted to get a pair of Chuck Taylors. I haven't worn Chuck Taylors since 2012. The last time I bought them they cost $39. They were red. Always low tops. I do not have the ankles for high tops. I can be 98lbs on the cusp of organ failure after my gallbladder surgery and still have thick ankles. Those of yall who can rock crew socks and high tops with shorts have my envy.
Anyway, this time I bought a pair of low top Chucks. They cost $65 this time around, which is still a good price for shoes considering $100 is the new $50. I got them in white with a red and blue stripe. Normally I would go with back, red, or green. But it's summer and I'm crazy so white shoes it is. These will be dirty in 3 days but canvas shoes wash very very well.
