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 :)

FIFA 2010 Team USA Track Jackets

Oooh, these look warm. It seems to have gotten colder at the World Cup; the North Koreans and Brazilians were wearing long sleeve jerseys today. But anyway, Team USA was wearing these awesome track jackets before their first game.

I think I like the navy better, not sure.

Spotted at FIFA 2010

First day of the World Cup. I wish I had someone to be excited with. It started out awesome but no victories or losses yet. Both games were draws.

I happened to see players on both the Mexican and South African teams wearing certain Nike's.

Now usually when I watch sports the thing I'm least impressed with apparel-wise is the sneakers. They usually wear sneakers that are great at what they do but otherwise unappealing. These however are pretty cool. They're from the Nike Elite series, Total90 Laser Elite FG Men's Cleats. They're a good $325.
