So I buy shoes only every so often. And now that I’m old and have other things to focus on, when I do buy them, I buy several of the same pairs, to last me a while. Well, I’m shoe shopping now.
And I found my favorite shoes all time. They were Kobe’s 1st or 2nd shoe. I didn’t like him, but when I was in Indiana, they were the best shoe. Ever. Fit me wonderfully.
But while I was a struggling student in Indiana, I wasn’t of the mindset of buying several pairs. I was in the mindset of – only play with these shoes indoors, switch shoes at the court, save the tread.
Considering that I graduated from Indiana in 1999, I’ve done a decent job, in that I still have my shoes. I tore my ACL in those shoes…
Now, today, during my shoe search, I came across these “Crazy 8” shoes. Kobe used to be number 8 before he thought he’d be little Jordan and change his jersey number. And we all know he’s Crazy. So could they be the shoe? I dig my shoes out of the closest – yes, indeed they are the same shoe.
I was very pleased. Very very pleased. The shoe’s on sale too. What more could I ask for?
Oh yeah. My size. Didn’t have it. Web search – they must be out there somewhere. And indeed they are available in my size…
…in this color:
oh please lord, would someone, for the love of god, buy these shoes for cris?
I don’t see the issue… right shoe, right size… you are married so no one to impress… and maybe they are distracting enough on the court to make up for one legged old man speed.
You could stun your opponents with your sartorial resplendence!

I bought him the Cool J book. Someone else is going to have to buy the shoes.
