Retro Sneakers

2 02 2009

Sup All! It’s been a few months. School and work had been taking up a lot of my time, so I will use them as an excuse for not writing for awhile. ;)

Anyway, I have this HUGE sneaker fetish, especially when it comes to retro sneakers. Luckily I have it under control since I have so many other interest. Every year around February or March, I start looking for some cool looking sneakers to wear for the spring and summer…hoping to find some cool retro styles. Adidas are one of my favorite brands and their originals online store brings back some cool memories, as well as providing some cool retro styles from shoes to apparel. So as I am doing my annual shoe search, I came across the Adidas SL 72. All the sudden my sneaker fetish kicked in. I think they reissued these in 2004, so I am surprised that I just now coming across them. So after a week or so of searching for other brands and colors, I settled on these:

I was a little concerned about the color, but after they arrived in the mail and trying them on …I absolutely love them; comfortable and lightweight. Now I just need to find a couple of shirts that will match them. I will probably get another pair that are not as “loud”.

I find it funny how in my younger days, newer meant better, but as I get older, the nostalgia of the retro styles bring back some memories of the “good ole days”…and an appreciation of the simple things. So, if your looking for a simple, but stylish sneaker, I recommend the Adidas SL 72.
