The greatest shoes ever known to man...

I was a young lad and it was my first pair of expensive shoes. I was so proud of these shoes I would look at them all the time. I would make sure not a speck of dirt got on them and if it did I would do the spit wash.

Back in college when I was playing basketball every day, I had a couple pair of Nike Air Raids. Perfect shoe for a big dude with ankle issues like me, with the torsion straps and heavy lugs. I was ecstatic when, a couple years ago, I stumbled on them again - Nike had brought them back. Best shoes ever for basketball, racquetball, anything with a lot of hard turns and plants.

Chuck Taylors. Midnight blue canvas. Black rubber soles and trim. Wore them into the ground and never found them again. *sigh*

 

My hi-top Chucks were the best shoes I ever had. I had an everyday white pair, naturally, and also a pair each of green, yellow, and purple that were the barhopping and gig playing shoes in college. I wore them until the soles were nonexistent.

I had those shoes except in black. I finally had to throw them away around 2001 or so when the soles literally fell off them. It was a sad day.

 

I've got a pair of boots that I've had since 1996. They look like hell but still fit and they don't have any holes in them.
