A few years ago I became irritated with sneaker
collecting because limited edition sneakers where becoming more expensive and harder to find in
retail stores. But besides that, what I
hated the most was the way current sneaker designs were going; I thought they
were banal and ugly. So I stopped buying sneakers for a while. I had my “old man moment” and kept thinking
why can’t sneakers be as cool as they used to be when I was growing up. And that’s when I realized that those same
sneakers that I grew up loving are still around, and that I should continue
buying them.
Funny enough one of my favorite sneakers was the
first one I bought; Adidas Superstars (2019 version). I have owned this shoe many times, and the
last time I bought them they lasted many years because I cleaned them regularly. But regardless of how much you take care of a
sneaker, they will eventually all break down if you use them a lot. The only difference that I noticed about this
new Superstar compared to my old one’s was that they feature a gold logo on the
tongue, and that the leather feels a little more synthetic. Other than that, these sneakers are classics,
and they have reinvigorated my love for sneakers.
