i know. it is a travesty. they also come in citrus green, sunset orange, and a weird blue-gray tone seldom seen outside of a Hanes pullover sweatershirt.

ALot of old nurses still sport the white version of this running shoe :p

[campbellconey]

you know i can forgive the white version. and if you are a nurse, i say wear whatever you want for the good work you do. I don't condone the white version, but i feel no need to submit vituperative diatribes to internet shoe stores because of them. but when we start playing Demonized Vincent Van Gogh with inappropriately named 'Classic' footwear, and producing Frankenstein-esque offspring known as 'Sunset Orange' and 'Flash Red' and 'Citra' colored eyesores, then I start to take arms against a sea of troubles.

In elementary school my music teacher wore the low-top version of these in every color imaginable. To this day they still creep me out.

[campbellconey]

as they certainly should!!!

The low-top version isn't complete without the short pom-pom socks :p

[campbellconey]

oh the humanity!

[campbellconey]

i know!!!!!

you know, it's funny you should mention that, because i've always been baffled by that statement. i understand that the hindenburg was a terrible tragedy, and a terrible thing to see in person, but who yells out 'oh the humanity' when they see something like that? What does that even mean? And that poor guy who screamed it out, never knowing how famous a line it would become, i wonder if, in later years, he was like, yeah, you know, i kinda wish i hadn't said that.

i understand its kind of an antiquated term and maybe it was that decade's version of 'what the...' etc.

y'know I never thought of it
definitely deserves further thought...or not. ;)

I got new shoes last night. I'm all foot-happy now.

:-) there is nothing better in this world than new shoes. An end to crime and violence, curing of pestilence and poverty? sure. but until then, new shoes are the bee's knees.
