Nike Women's Sweet Classic Leather Low Sneaker

Aha! So this morning I pulled a Mr. Rogers. Went to Modell's, bought a (emergency) pair of sneakers, changed in the car, tied my hair up on the subway. I used to be Mr. Rogers back in my first year of college. I'd come home during breaks and then go back to school wearing different shoes and jacket.

Here're the kicks:

I was pretty skeptical at first. Still analyzing them from each angle (it's so much fun being a geek :) to come up with a verdict. I think so far the verdict is YES.

See my issue is, I have this thing about black sneakers. Everything else black is wonderful. But with black sneakers I wince. And it's all because of Reeboks. I remember my grandfather's brother (as well as other old people) used to wear black Reeboks (probably still does). And as a kid, I HATED those. I still HATE them (have you ever seen the ones with velcro straps? OMG!). And I'm still extremely skeptical when it comes to black sneakers. They go in the same category as the color yellow. Not in the same category as toothpaste green because though it's on my color hate list, i do own stuff in that color which I don't hate.

I try to like both. But it requires turning on my geeky superpowers (yes, I have those) and trying to reconcile between my hatred for these things and the possibility of them looking good.

So far, these guys have won. Though I STILL want those Adidas Mids. Workin on it :)
