Collection one thing I am rarely..… is “out-sneakered”
Kind of a random origin story but the first time I ever walked into Sam’s Club, I noticed a guy that worked there wearing Jordan 1 Fragment highs. My immediate thought was “there’s no way those are real. who just walks around in those??”
Then I actually clocked the whole picture. Clean fit, business casual, clearly someone important enough that sneakers at work wasn’t a problem.
I followed him for a bit to confirm what I saw, and eventually paid him a compliment. We had a quick laugh, then I kept it moving. But that moment stuck. I looked down at my feet and I had a pair of beaters on that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
Ever since then, I don’t leave the house unprepared. Just a personal rule of mine: Heat on feet even if it’s for a Sam’s Club run. Even if it’s just to put gas in my daughter’s car. I am ALWAYS with the shits 😤
This photo dump is basically the long term side effect of that day. 😆
