For those who know me know me, they know I am definitely an addict for sneakers. Some people might not understand a reason behind it, but shoes in general hold a certain meaning for me. Throughout life, we go on journies we will never forget. A big aspect for me, concerning those journies is how I traveled through each millisecond being suspended in every little frame. I also am an avid fan of art, whether it be musical, sculpture, painting, the human body ( :P ) etc. Shoes are also sculptures in my eyes. Sculptures that we wear on our feet. For example, Michael Jordan is one of my idols and to this day, he still influences the way I live my life today. It is because of his performance on the court (e.g. "The Flu Game") that I make sure I leave it all out on whatever surface (classroom, bball court, life? rofl) and give it my all. So with this said, I dedicate this "Addiction" post to my latest pickups.
20th Anniversary Reebok "The Pump" OG Bringback (Black & White Colorways)
I dont have to say much about these shoes except that in my eyes, they are DOPE. Classic shoe, Hightop Retro feel (sidenote: it seems like the trend that is goin on these days is the return of the hightop shoe...). Not to mention, the creme de la creme, the Pump. Luckily I was able to scoop up these pairs (18/29 for the "White Colorway" & 5/29 for the "Black Colorway") from Packershoes (sup Mike!) and boy was I "pumped" to get these (yes..i have filled my quota for lame drops for today :] ) lol. I would love to get my hands on backup pairs so I can just murder these pairs. The quality is top notch also, (Nike & Jordan Brand should take some pointers from Reebok when it comes to retro-ing a shoe properly..). Btw, my journey to get the Black Colorway was reeal reeal interesting, but I shall save that for another post. Anyways, without further adieu, I present to you... THE PUMP
Pardon my creamy (yucky) colored wall and messy desk :]
