kicking it old school

In late January, I'll be playing some basketball. So of course I needed some hi-tops. So these are the sweet ones I just bought. But there's a story behind it. It's not that interesting...but whatever...

When I was in high school, (junior high to be exact), I joined the B-ball team, and got these sneaks, mostly because they were the cheapest hi-tops you could buy. COnverse was still the only company who didn't jump on the Nike 4 million dollar shoe bandwagon. So I started to really like these. There were no air systems or pumps to break down. They were the last of a straight up basketball shoe era. But sadly, soon after by sophomore year, we couldn't buy these Converse hi-tops anymore, because they jumped up to 100 bucks a pair. So we lived on the cheap-o's which fell apart in no time.
So while browsing with Wally on the web for shoes, we skimed by efootwear and found these puppies at old school prices. $40- can you beleive it.

Ok so I'm too excited about sneakers (yes in Canada we don't call them b-ball shoes, we call them sneakers). But not only do I get my fav shoe of all time, but I get them at a great price.

That's all. I warned you that it wasn't that interesting

If only these shoes could help my game...
