023: join me and we can rule the universe

That's right two passions, okay obsessions, of my youth have joined forces.

Star Wars

and

Adidas


pictured here are my over 20 year old Adidas wrestling shoes. Although I haven't wrestled a match in almost 20 years, I haven't coached a wrestling team in over 15 years, and I have no plans to ever coach again, I will not EVER let these shoes go.
look closely here at the tongues on these:
yup that says made in WEST GERMANY.

a couple of days ago I saw this:



and since then I have been on a mad quest for these:
It fucking says skywalker on the side of the shoe!!!

or these:
low top storm troopers, with shell tops!!!

everywhere I go, every website: SOLD OUT.

fucking fan boys.


they'd probably never take the bastards out of the packaging.

UGH!

anyway, I rode my bike tonight. I did efforts. They were hard. My legs felt better after my ride than before. More efforts in the morning. I like to ride my bicycle.

thanks for reading.

I'm going to fall asleep with visions of orange high tops in my head.

respect.

Good to see you're strong in the forcizzle, mah nizzle.

Amazing. Pop culture is a bit like peas and potatoes and gravy. It's usually better mashed up than straight. And +1 on the Addidas. I'd kill for a set of old school Addidas Torsion running shoes, the high end ones you could only buy in Germany. Only damn shoes I could run in without having major back and ankle pain.

That, and Run DMC.

I bought a pair of Adidas SL72s because I had a crush on Starsky. (No children, not Ben Stiller--Paul Michael Glaser). Blue with white stripes circa 1974ish. That's right. I wish I still had them.

Your old wrestling shoes must stink. Does Monkey let you keep them in the house?

BTW, I've got about 10 girls arriving at your house on Saturday. Be prepared!
