It Doesn't Have To Be The Shoes
from the who-needs-technology dept
I remember it wasn’t so long ago that kids were demanding their parents buy them the latest crazy new sneakers that cost ridiculous amounts of money. The big thing those days was to add crazier and crazier technology to sneakers (I stopped paying attention when they added airpumps). However, with the current backlash against technology in general, it seems to have affected the sneaker-buying public as well. Many kids are deciding they don’t want technologically enhanced sneakers and would prefer simpler “retro” sneakers. I knew if I kept my old sneakers around long enough, I’d be hip again…

good
Thank the Gods!
Last time I went to The Athlete’s Foot I couldn’t find a single object that looked like a shoe (besides the sign). I ended up ordering a ‘normal’ pair of shoes off the internet, which isn’t really optimal.
I will be glad to be able to buy my boring sneakers at the mall again.
