To be clear, in case you can't tell from any of the photos of me since 1989 that have leaked out to the interwebs, that's another set of Adidas samba classic sneakers.
Some boys collect different types of sneakers and put them on display in fancy closets ... but this boy does not -- he keeps one pair at a time, and he wears them until they start eating his socks, and then he discards them after he's procured the replacement set. And that's actually a newer development, because up until 2001, he put the "broken" pair in a box of other shoes-once-worn as if there'd one day be a Troy N shoe museum. (That box got left behind in the house in Harrisburg during the big move to Chicago, so unless the preacher next door who bought that place saved them, they've been lost to posterity [and no, that doesn't keep me up at night except only every now and then]).
As for WHY only Adidas samba classics are found on my feet, *that's* a high school secret. You know if you know ...
I'VE BEEN ROCKING THEM FOR AT LEAST HALF OF THEIR LIFETIME:
