2. Found the below link to be an interesting read about the dangers inherent in using (especially) male sports figures as motivational speakers in schools.

This also got me to thinking about the transition during my lifetime from sneakers being cheap and functional to very expense and fashion statements. That was the tip of the iceberg of 'fashionizing' of sports apparel and I remember news stories about kids being beaten up for their sneakers. (Dating myself!)
blame Michael Jordan... I had the 1st pair (went to NYC, from Hartford, to get them) and maybe #6 (discounted at half pair from Herb's). Overall, I've been a Adidas Pro Model shell toe wearer(influenced by Run DMC)Not to be a Debbie Downer, but ...

Those are the CoolGrey's or the Concord 11's?DaddyChoc, stood in line & had my girls playing in the Jordan-11 Space jam variety until I realized they were horrible playing sneakers- Strickly for show!
They were very fashion consious girls! As Luda would say " But our time and our clothes gotta coordinate" so they demanded White with the Carolina blue jumpman. What's a dad to do right?Those are the CoolGrey's or the Concord 11's?
I think the Adidas Superstar was the first "cool" pair I ever had. Wore them into the ground. Wore them without socks. Had to put them in the windowsill at night to air them out.Meyers everybody got paid tho... can't hate on that but I was never an expensive sneaker guy. Suede Pumas, Shells, Nike Cortez, Canvas Converse, the Weapons all were rather inexpensive
With or without laces en em?I think the Adidas Superstar was the first "cool" pair I ever had. Wore them into the ground.
Probably why I have bad feet today lolWith or without laces en em?
