Nike, My Sneaker Adonis

I am sneaker obsessed, Nike kicks in particular. You know, the ones made in Malaysia by children sweat shop workers. *Ok that last sentence was sarcasm. But yes I do truly love nike sneakers.

Instead of collecting works of art I collect sneakers. And even though I have way more than I could possibly wear or use, I want my collection to grow and grow. They are so freaking cool. My sneaker fetish started a few years ago, when Nike decided to kick it old school with their retro look, and ever since I have been hooked. Currently my count of Nike shoes stands at 7, my total collection of awesome trainers stands at 10.

I used to go for the 50/50 split of comfort and style when buying shoes but now the breakdown looks like this 80- style, 20- comfort. Of course I won't wear any blister machines, but style must come first. I've also found it possible to color coordinate most of my Nike sneakers with a matching hoodie.

And when there is time to spare, I visit Nikeid.com and play around with my own creations.

Nike is so awesome that they've even made tennis shoes look cool to wear. Now that is impressive, and almost too good to be true. But my three most recent pairs of tennis kicks stand as daily reminders.

Thanks again Nike for truly being my sneaker Adonis.
