It all started one late night while watching Terminator on the USA network. It wasnt Ahnolds catchy one liners or his cool shades that did it to me. It was the moment Reese breaks into the department store and slips on the coolest pair of shoes ever made. A fresh pair of Nike Vandals.
I was suddenly transported back to school cafeteria dances, first kisses and my pre coldfusion passion for breakdancing.
I could hear Vincent Price in the back of my head chanting "Find those shoes, Find those shoes!!!" After that a loud bell began building. It was familiar. It was the first few bars of Beat It. I was being transported back to the eighties whether i liked it or not.
Over the next few weeks I constantly had one bad song or another stuck in my head. This was getting bad and I needed to stop it. I needed those shoes. I needed them before Paul and Michael started collaborating again in my head.
After months of searching, my new pair of kicks arrived friday fresh from the UK. A size 11 gray and blue canvas pair of Nike Vandals. The exact match for the ones I owned. I can't remember a purchase that brought so much satisfaction. I'll post more pictures once i get my fat laces in em.
Anyone want to battle? I'll bring the cardboard.
where'd you get them
